Is my berg about to die?

Just started berg after winter hibernation. Changed oil first an it looked pretty black with sludge on magnet, but only a few bits of shrapnel.

It was a pig to start. When it finally burst into life its spewed a load of oil out of the exhaust manifold, its like treacle!! This is a bit worrying :shock:

What could it be? Do they have valve stem seals? I cant think what else it could be. Theres loads of compression and 900ml of oil was pit in, didnt change filter.

The new oil looks black already through the spy glass.

Is it paggered? Paranoia is beginnin to set in so any advice is very much appreciated.
Only live a couple of miles from Dave Clarkes, but i dont wanna start bothering him yet

With the headers attached its just coming out of the nearside one. There was a small amount coming from here before i stopped using it about 5 months ago, but it ran ok so i left it.

Its not been stood un- touched for 5 months, ive give it a few kicks every couple of weeks to keep it lubed an not stuck in one position.

I started it a few times after the original oil spurtage, an its no longer throwin oil out, just a small oil bead on the header which just seems to smoke off. It ticks over lovely and revs ok.

Not happy about it though. Dont want to risk damage. I'll turn it over with the headers off, see what this un covers. Then im gonna book it in at clarkeys. Hes got the tools and expertise, i have cash to pay him. Its easier that way

Oh lordy :shock:

I'll whip the rocker off an have a gander. Just strugglin for shed space at the mo, really need to waz some sh1te

Bike sorted. Took it to dave clarkes an rings were worn, plus sprag.

Anyway, hes rebuilt it an it rides a treat. In fact its never run like this! Very happy chappy

Alright john dude!!

Enjoy the berg la. Are your arms still in thier sockets?

Still on the lookout for a small 2 stroke off roader. Might have a look at that crm near you, looks a bit paggered though - an no log book etc :roll:
