So this is the story, a friend of mine had this 700 sitting in his garage for 5 years cause his dumb friend put coolant in the injector oil (2 stroke oil reservoir) So he ordered 700 dollars worth of parts to fix it, and they sat in a box for 5 years too. I finally said ill buy it. so i cleaned the oil reservoir out of all the fluid, i put two new pistons and rings on it, one brand new jug (the other one was fine), all the gaskets. put it all together and filled with coolant and it started to leak out a bit, we forgot to put in the new gaskets. so we take the head off, replace gaskets and put it together and it starts right up. Sweet, so i thought all good. started it again, and let it heat up a bit, and shut off. Then i am on my way to pay him, and decided to start one last time, rev it up and all the sudden it pops and shuts off. pull the spark plug and pull, the thing is shooting coolant 5 feet high from only the left cylinder. then all the coolant just drained out the exhaust port. So i let it sit over night, the next morning with zero coolant i start it up, and it is running on both cylinders so i didn't blow anything like a piston. still good compression...so i fill it back up and again coolant is leaking into the left cylinder, the one side that has the brand new jug on it. I know i need to take the head off again and check the gaskets, but could the head have a crack? will i see it? And now i gotta pull the left jug off to drain the coolant in the case or is there a way to drain it easier? Im almost positive its not leaking from the bottom gasket, but i just dont know. any advice would be awesome. thanks in advance, Kelplin
