I bought a 02 Fx140 over the summer with a seized engine. after a quart or so of mystery oil and some tlc i got it turned over. After clearing out the crud in the cylinder and doing a compression test she ran great.
i had to change the oil numerous times to get it clear. Took it out for the first run and she ran great for about an hour and then was very hard to start. after it sat a bit it ran great again.
i checked the oil when i got home and it was way overfull and milky again, this happened every time i took it out, I could draw some oil out of the case with an extractor and she was good to go again. The last time out for the summer, she died after about an hour riding pulled the air filter and its soaked with milkshake looking oil and its way over full again.
ive come to the conclusion that its getting water into the crankcase somehow.
plugs all look good and compression is good.
Where do i go from here? water is clearly getting into the crankcase.
yes i have followed yamahas procedure for changing the oil every time.
