  • Yamaha 2003 800xlt engine failure problem

    Hi I have a Yamaha 2003 800 XLT that I have had two engine failures in the last 2 1/2 years. I am going to order another engine from SBT but would like to know what the problem is. My current engine had one cylinder spark plug gap which was smashed close . It has 30 psi while the front is 120 psi. I used pre-mis at 40:1. Do I just have bad luck?

    I do not believe in good/bad luck. There is a cause for the failure. The only way to know what the failure is would be to take the engine apart and examine it.
