Yeah, 20 psi is enough to push seals out too, The kit I have recommends 8psi max, allowable to lose 1 psi per minute, more than that and start looking for problem areas. I'd go out on a limb and say you've already found your problem though, unless more leaks are apparent too.

It's been one hell of an action packed day, my most ambitious day in quite some time! I present to you, the his and hers matching bikes (that's what I told my wife! :lol: ).

Been tinkering all afternoon, tested everything and found my culprit. The stator failed the resisitance test so I immediately thought the worst and pulled the flywheel to take it off. Once the flywheel was off, it magically passed test within the specified ohm range. :? Upon closer inspection, I fou...

Head gasket isn't my only problem. Now have no spark. I am pointing in the direction of the CDI, but not quite sure, maybe someone else here can jump in and point me in the right direction. I've checked all the obvious items, kill switch, bad ground, etc. The two leads that come out of the CDI and g...

The best thing you could do right now is invest in a leak down testing kit, or if you're super ambitious (and a cheap ass like me :lol: ) you could opt to make one yourself. I, myself, don't have the ambition or time to dick around trying to put a kit together myself. Bought the Motion Pro kit sever...

I haven't been keeping the camera nearby lately, but do have a few pics of the water pump before and after and how the bike sits currently. I am planning to fire it up this weekend, if all goes well. As of right now, just killing time on the computer, with a hangover and lack of ambition. :lol: It's...

Picked up a clean 85 roller yesterday and now have a good starting point to build this baby. I put too many hours into the frame it came with, already rechased all the threads, installed heli-coils where needed, straightened, welded, sandblasted, sanded and primered, ready for paint. And then this r...

Well, it's been a long while, but I've managed to get a few things accomplished with this baby. Several other projects have gotten in the way, otherwise it would've been done by now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Rue hooked me up with some much needed parts off his 88, FMF pipe, triple cla...

Nice. I thought about a crf50, but they are harder to find in stock form and pricey. My kids are tiny, so Seth is 7 and it fits him perfectly. Seth and I recently started restoring the PW80 which he will ride when he is big enough, then Jonny (4yo) will hop on the 50 :wink: I got in BIG trouble wit...
