Hard rain storm.. riding through water crossings.. I do that quite a bit, but never heard the gurgling.

i have fixed exhaust leak and adjusted mix screw from 2 1/2 turns out to 2 turns out... sounds good.. i had ran it just a couple minutes or so then shut down... i let bike sit a minute and wanted to check oil level again... when i grabbed bike and stood it straight up.. i could of swore i heard water running ...into something? where and maybe is this what i heard yesterday except for boiling? after being hot? hmm also i did sniff oil filler hole and to me but thats just me.. i dont smell fuel... also i took vaccum hose loose at carb on right side there and gave it a toke or two and no fluid or gas...
this is good i think... Cool

so hmm the water sound running has me baffled?

Oil will collect in the cam area. You tilted it up, so it ran out.
Remember, I said I've heard the noise on my bike.
The only water I've run thru was from a dog pissin' on somebodies tire.
And if the frame got hot enough to boil water, you'd be riding a pretzel.

rattles could be a lot of things and some come and go. My headlight rattles soemtimes but not usually. I had a rattle from my top engine mount coming loose. Had a rattle for about a week that I couldnt find. Took the tank off, checked anything I could imagine might be loose but to no avail. Put the tank back on and no more rattle.
Im betting you rgurgling sound was just oil draining back into the sump and that you'd just never noticed it before. My bike also tings and pings and all other sorts of sounds almost as soon as I turn it off as the engine starts cooling back down.

Reply #22 - 04/14/10 at 21:49:56 I may be waaaaay off base here, but how's the battery? I had a car that had a "gurgling" sound once, and I traced it to the battery I was cooking. Like I said, could be way off, but if you haven't found the culprit yet it might be worth a look.

I had a bubbling noise once... sounded a little like grease in a frying pan. Turned out that I'd gotten water in the spark plug hole, where of course it hissed and sputtered until it evaporated. It happened when I washed the bike. Now it happens every time I wash the bike, which means about once a year. Once I figured it out, it wasn't nearly as scary, but the first time it definitely didn't sound healthy.

Reply #24 - 04/17/10 at 22:20:08 i got nothin on the gurgling but as for rattles my big one was the speedo rattle. the way to fix i found on here was pretty extensive. i just took of the springs and reassembled with some black silicone holding them in place. but sorry thankfully i have no gurgling sounds. i do have a shhzwhhe at shut down sometimes

yes speedometer rattles i have fixed that in past but starting back again going to do something different this time...

Dont know if headlight rattles or not havent found whats rattling up front as it is only on high rev's and rpm's...
but i will eventually find it...

I am having to order the raptor 660 fuel assy for my bike though it seems since i had another issue yesterday out of nowhere...

once again the bike choked out like it was running out of gas with a nearly full tank... i turned to reserve and pop pop bang it was running right again... so i have no choice but to replace the fuel assy and then that will give me the old stock savage assy to rebuild for spare..

i have been reading that the raptor works better anyways but i got to plug something off.. i will get more into it once it has arrived.. i am looking at ordering it from ron ayers site hoping its what i need... thanks
peace

ok just ordered the raptor assy from ron ayers... we will see if that fixes the problem... i sure hope so... once i got the tank off i am going to go ahead and do the valves and that leaky cap thats causing oil on the engine, as well as change plug and anything else i can get into while down in there... Wink

now to go learn about adjusting the valves.. seen there was a great thread once here i will have to find it and see if i have right tools for adjusting valves or not sitting round.. I adjust the valves on my V dubs myself so maybe it wont be much different Wink

Thanks.
