Funny Smell

[Phantom]

After a hard run the flatheads expell a wierd, funky smell that transports you into a kind of like a internal combustion comma, does anything like this ever happened to any of you? ps: Yeah this just happened

 

[milo raptors]

hmm whats its smell like kinda metalicy and oily at the asame time

 

[mybiz]

Probably todays gas they are putting so many different additives in our gas now days. Who knows does it smell like burnt corn?

 

[richs]

:lol:kinda like burnt dubage frme kicking back having to much fun:drinkup:

If it happed to me I'd suspect it was only an acid flashback.

 

[george3]

did you paint the muffler or exhaust. Or the paint on the engine? cheap gas?

 

[Phantom]

No there's nothing painted on the engine, its like milo mentioned its like an oily and metallic smell ,every flathead has the same smell. I have ran with different fuels but its the same smell, i can tell because the ohv's have like more of a plastic smell to them. jeje Acid Flashback

 

[Phantom]

Every flathead racer must be familiar with that smell.

 

[milo raptors]

im not a racer but just lok at the flaty in my sig lol yea i smell it after i ride hard for a while to comes off cylinder fins block and exasht

 

[Modding_out]

Yea, I smell it to. But It comes mostly from my oil, which is weird because I have no blow by I just rebuilt my engine.

My Honda clone's oil smells the same way, but it doesn't radiate threw the block like my flat head engine :shrug:

 

[minibikedude]

Are you running any fuel stabilizer in your gas.

 

[oldsledz]

What kind of oil are you using?

 

[Phantom]

I'm using abro oil it stinks like hell, but that's not what's causing that smell its coming from the fins, and i don't use fuel stab.

 

[minibikedude]

Did you run through any dog sh#t and get it stuck in the fins.:laugh: Also you could try running a different oil.

 

[Phantom]

Dog sh#it?? i have rammed dogs with my kart but no dog has ever taken a crap on my engine.

 

[minibikedude]

You got a cart, I thought it was on a minibike. I run accidental ran through dog :001_9898: and had it flung up in the fins on the engine on my bike before. Not fun.

 

[mybiz]

I didn't realize you were running a briggs:doah:Now I understand why its putting off a smell. :evil_laughter::evil_laughter::evil_laughter:

 

[milo raptors]

i think its a slight bit of oil from the breather get to the fins on the block

Actually, it is a common phenomenon. Mini bikes were originally designed to be ridden by youths. However, as we have aged our gluteus maximus have grown well beyond the intended purpose of the original mini bike seat. When these large posteriors are placed on these tiny seats, a vacuum is created which remains during the length of the ride, during which large amounts of methane gas accumulate. In this vacuum void.the gas becomes highly concentrated. Once the ride is over and the rider dismounts there is a loud suction sound as the atmosphere rushes in and then rapidly expands, carrying with it the VERY odoriferous methane gas. When this gas reaches the nasal passages, repugnance and vomiting have been reported. Hope this answers the question.
