Was out on the lake today and the thing ran great.
Stopped for a pop at the store and popped the hod to vent and noticed oil under the pto rave.
Curious as i was, i pulled the cap off and twisted the exhaust piston. Well, it would not snug up.
So i pulled the whole thing apart to see what was up. The threaded part of the exhaust piston was melted and would not thread on. I also had a hole i could stick my finger through in the bellow.........The weird thing is, it ran perfectly fine, other than it seemed to be getting a bit hot.
Then i pulled the mag rave cap off and the bellow was breeched, which that may just be because it is not sealing right.
I messed with the water regulator last week and reversed the 2 hoses that go to it and over heated the muffler, could this have caused the rave problem?
What the heck is up with the melted exhaust piston on the rave?
I rode it yesterday and it seemed fine
Also, when i pull the plug on the pto side, you can feel air pushing out the hole, is that normal?
