Found this in Exhaust??

[Sneezy]

Hey guys

need a lil help

My wifes bike was cutting out and splattering and had a weak spark so i got new magneto, stator, cdi, lead and plug, and seemed to run great, then i started it today after fixing it last week and it was dying on full throttle again, i cleaned carby and still did it (stock ****ty carby) i put my oko 26mm on today and now it runs awesome, just one thing, i heard i rattle in exhaust and i found this.... anyone know what it is???

by the way bike runs great so dunno what it is, just wanna know..

thanks

Kris

thats the power valve & helps to control the boost also, you should rebuild your turbo ASAP!

Lol if anyone knows let me know

 

[Sneezy]

It looks fair old also

 

[SnItChY]

looks like an exhaust gaskit or whats left of it

Yeah I reckon your onto it Snitchy.

Just kind of hard to see if it's round in that picture but that would be my guess as well.

 

[Sneezy]

Really? I hope so lol runs fine so not too worried

Just wiggle the pipe where it goes into the head and you will know in 2 seconds.

May just be leftover from an old exhaust gasket.

could be piston skirt LOL

 

[lochie125]

yer probabbly an exhaust gasket thats all..... same thing happened to my old bike.

 

[Sneezy]

Piston skirt? Would it affect anything?

 

[sean01]

does a magnet stick to it???

exhaust gaskets are copper!!

piston skirt will allow the piston to have more clearance than normal... not a good thing, so if its rattling more than usual then thats what it is lol...

but really it could be just about anything... the picture doesnt quiet show enough..

could be something that fell down the intake during carb swaps and got mashed a bit then magically slipped thru the valves teeth... dont laugh lol iv personally seen it happen.. dents the hell out of the piston..

may be the choke from the old carb?

 

[Sneezy]

Nah no rattle sounds good lol

Looks like pipe and flange bit, to me.

Maybe I'm missing something but how could a piece of the piston skirt get above the piston? Or do you mean a piece of the lower cylinder sleeve?

 

[Sneezy]

dunno mate, dont think it is, im pretty sure it is just from the exhaust,

 

[KtmJono_777]

Yeah if anything came from down low you would've known about it at the time, especially with 2 pieces. You'd have a trashed unit if that happened. I wonder if its from the weld in the header join? Although it does look like it once had a shape.. so I reckon as others have said that its an old gasket. A magnetic check should confirm that.

 

[my67xr]

im guessing i wont be picking up the oko tomorrow then.

 

[Sneezy]

Yeah I messages you but no answer mate?? Okos on the wife's bike now.

Got a magnet from the fridge and it's not magnetic
