#265415 RangerDan (User) racin the wind, chasin the sun Expert Boarder Posts: 461 SOS... 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I really hope this isn't as bad as it sounds, but I have a feeling it is. I'm pretty choked right now. So, here are the symptoms. Only running on 1 cylinder (rear is dead). Obviously, lack of power. Anyways, white smoke from the dead cylinder pipe, burning smell from dead cylinder pipe, also a burning/sizzling sound from dead cylinder pipe. Pulled a plug, same sizzling sound from the pipe. Anyone, help, please? Absolutely pissed, first ride this season and all of a sudden she decides its time to crap the bed.

Dan P.S. the smoke isn't all that noticeable riding, moreso when either stopped (at idle) and even moreso off.. it just pours out. Stuck valve, maybe? Might try and seafoam it all tomorrow, hoping for good things.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/03/17 01:40 By RangerDan.   \"When I looked at this thread, I was thinking to myself; I sure hope I get to see an image that will burn itself into my brain and spend the rest of my life trying to repress it.

When it's waremed up are you still running one cyclinder? I know it sounds far fetched but maybe a rodent crawled up the exhaust pipe. Certainly try spraying Seafoam throught the intake manifold and see what happens.

If spraying SeaFoam into the intake doesn't help, maybe take the rear pipe off and see if the bike runs better. You could very well have something stuck in it.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #265471 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Years back an old buddy of mine had a Dyna with V&H Longshots that had been laid-up for the winter. Come spring and time to fire it up for the first time in months, it ran like crap and only on on cylinder. I told him "let's blow it out" and I would follow him on my scoot. We get about 100 yard down the street as he was gettin' on it a friggin' half rotten rat carcass comes flyin' out of the bottom pipe. After that it cleaned up and ran fine!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #265477 MikeyD (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 381 Re:SOS... 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Boatmark wrote: DocShadow wrote: Never heard of an 08 with a SVS problem and would not suspect it to have a SVS problem.
