It was firing. I know the difference between running on 2 cylinders versus 3 thank you

That looks good to me....lean would be white well back up the electrode....not just at the tip 

Dude, it's pure white.

 maybe you guys are right maybe it was coolant getting in there and washed that piston off. But, here is a picture of the mag side spark plug unless the coolant  washed it off too it looks pretty effing lean to me....

Doesn't matter either way it's getting three new pistons and I'm going to hone the jugs. new gaskets and O-rings, a new thermostat and rebuilding the fuel pump. Also ordered boyesen reeds and a set of flatslide carbs from a 2000 Pantera

Left to right, PTO, Center, Mag.....

Dont start with if......it was certainly either rich or as Skidooski said eating a load of coolant. Were the head o-rings good? Need some pics of the pistons....what jets were in the carbs , maybe the choke was stuck on that carb etc etc. How did it go down or did it even go down. Was it just running on two and you though it was burned down? 

What do the reeds look like.....maybe that cyl has a bad coil 

The last 2 tcats I had exhibited a really weird problem with the mag cylinders......they wouldnt fire at idle and just that cyl would flood easy. I had to dial the idle air screw in a little on that cyl and then it ran perfect.

Did you check compression etc etc etc.....missing a lot of info here. 

I'm kind of a noob to carb tuning and triples but there are some guys here that can really help if you post all details and pics you can. 

Its fucking expensive to have issues with these engines and rebuilding them aint cheap either.....you need to get this nailed down 

What do your cylinders look like right now?

340 mains. Other than age the o-rings looked ok. 120 psi on all 3. It did leak anti-freeze from the front exchanger since I bought it- probably why i got it cheap. It only dripped a bit till the track broke and destroyed it. It always ran on 3 since I have owned it. Last ride I had one hour after starting it started running like shit, bogging down and losing a lot of power. I figured it was the cracked boot, and I burned down the cylinder. Piston pics in a minute.

Seriously GS.....post some detailed pics of everything. That piston is very rich as in it wasnt firing at all or it was getting way too much fuel. That piston does not look at all like a torn carb boot had anything to do with it. 

You  have seriously misunderstood whats going on there and we cant help without better pics. Your center piston looks exactly like you want them to look. Show us the PTO side and get some better pics of everything

Ok, if the mag side is rich what could cause it?

no it wasnt

Ok.

Which usually means it was jetted way fat, was pulling in coolant washing the dome or was cold and not firing like it should resulting in it being washed (running on 2 cylinders, bad coil , wire etc). If it's caked on carbon it means it's being baked on there from running lean (hot). Your center cylinder looks good with finger nail size wash spots at the tranfers. Is this is a pump gas motor?

What made you pull the motor down? You said you knew it was going lean. Was this because you knew it had a torn boot or you felt / heard it run differently?

The mag plug was pure white. Carbs are spotless. While waiting on new boots from ebay, I rode it with a bad carb boot.

The mag piston has almost no carbon color on it.

 you are blind or an idiot. The mag piston has most of the wash burned off it. There is only black on the front edge.

After reading members here demonizing young Americans assembling and speaking out against gun control I see the same are running cover for our Commie president. Despicable Americans just fuck off.

Ben did you not see how lean, how shitty the piston wash was on the mag piston? Its my fault ya dumb fuck. I knew it was going lean and i rode it anyway.  D&D told me the carb boot was cracked and I shrugged it off because I did not want to spend the money right then.  in reality I was going to buy one off eBay cuz it was way cheaper. I pulled a bonehead move  and now it's going to cost me, so screw you. Happy now?

Fair enough........apologize for my skepticism. Now why are you calling that a mistake?

Because they warned me it might hurt the motor due to its age/mileage and now I need a jug and pistons. While it's apart, I am sending the block out for crank and bearing service.

Only had it trail ported, Ben. I did it ass backwards too. Motors on the bench awaiting rebuild. I don't like bragging about expensive mistakes I made. Sorry

Let the fun and games begin. When the old track blew off it destroyed the front heat exchanger. Fixing that first.....

No I think it's worse. Somebody is driving along texting and they know they could kill somebody and they fucking do it anyway. If you CAN'T understand THAT....

Really? You've never shown photos of your guns to pretend you were tougher than you are? Maybe bragged a little about having something you don't?

That is the mind set that's changed.  

In Canada, for the most part (not where the Pussy Rod Johnson lives)  if you start shit and get your ass kicked in a bar then come back later with a gun, you may succeed in scaring people but everyone thinks you are a fucking pussy. 

In the states you think it is ok to solve problems with a gun. 

 

 

Lol. It's none of that I just refuse to be a victim. Some people seem to be okay living with the chance of being killed without shooting back. Not me

The fuck there isn't, when I kill a deer, a pheasant, etc. it's with the intent to kill, just like if some motherfucker comes hunting for humans, big difference between that and accidentally hitting and killing some animal or a person with a car, and if you can't understand that................ 

No I think it's worse. Somebody is driving along texting and they know they could kill somebody and they fucking do it anyway. If you CAN'T understand THAT....

There's a difference with killing someone intentionally with a gun as opposed to killing someone while driving or texting like an asshole....you do understand that?

No there is not  difference

One thing that has changed is people like you are more common. How many times have you shown photos of your gun collection? You do that because you think people respect you for having all the fire power.  It’s pussy’s like you that support the narrative about tough guys owning guns. 

Years ago tough guys didn’t need a gun to feel tough. When you make being able to shoot someone a measure of manhood, you end up with fuckheads shooting up schools when they are bullied. 

 

You are Beyond full of shit.  whenever real men get together they show off their toys and their guns now we can show them online.

You are just too fucking stupid to understand. That does not surprise me in the least.  

 

no its you who are too stupid. 20 years ago we didn't have any school shootings. before that, when I was in school, most of us guys had a rifle or shotgun hanging in the back window of our truck. we got in fights all the time, argued and never shot the school up. we settled it with our hands. these kids people are raising today seem to need revenge for everything. they ain't normal.
