86 Gyro problem

Post by 88elitenh »

i bought this ride and there is oil dripping out of the exhaust, which causes it to smoke a little more than usual. the bike had been sitting for a couple years when i bought it. My mechanic turned down the oil going into the injector pump as much as he dared and ive run probably 20 miles and it still leaks oil. Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks

Change the oil you are using and clean the exhaust per instructions in WikiSpreedia.

Sometimes the oil pump fails in a manner which lets oil seep into the intake when the Gyro is sitting. We have an oil pump thread here with info on the issue, there is a test and a fix I've used. Gyro Oil Pumps
