Title: how the heck
Post by: KnightofNi on June 19, 2008, 07:45:28 PM
do you get rocks in the combustion chamber of an engine?

i really want to know. apparently what killed the xr this last time is i had rocks in there. i have no idea how or when they would have gotten in there. i'm fairly certain i didn't put them there.


anyone want to buy an 02 xr650l with 13K on it? [bang]

This begs the question, how do you get your rocks off?

Through the exhaust of course.

actually, it was a silty creek.

i'm going to see if i can determine where the rocks came from if they actually save them for me.

the only other way i can think that they got in there is through the spark plug hole, but i didn't take the plug out after i got it back.

that's just it. there are no holes in the filter or in the connector between the airbox and the carb.


now it's gonna cost me at least $500 to fix since they claim it wasn't because of their mechanic.  [bang]
