Banshee in need of work

[mike250]

I have a banshee now..and i finally finished my lt250r from stock to moded beast. The kick start wont go down on the banshee it used to run great. But in the back yard where it was keeped about 20+ mice moved in and found a home inside the pipes carb and im guessing the top of the pistons too. Me and my 2 pit bulls had to exterminate the rodents my female killed about 6 the male showed no interest in them and i got the rest with the stock handle bars that i had out back by the shed..(used it as a club I was really mad )LOL . Anyways I just took all the fenders off and cleaned it..the wires are all chewed up and the air filter was half eaten up . So since im done with my lt its time to get cracking on the banshee. I guess I have to take the head off to see why its seized up..any opinion's?

if it was sittin outside then it prolly got moisture in the cylinders and rusted them a bit i bet if u dumped a little brake fluid down the spark plug holes and let it sit for a few days inside it could free up

I put carb cleaner down the park plug holes and wd40..LOL you think brake fluid would work better? isn't their a special chemical that can be used to?

pull the jugs off boss.. that bitch needs something.. and i'm betting a bore, pistons, rings.. and maybe a crank... if the moisture got to the bottom end... the bearignsare WASTED... i should have a crank for sale.

yeah im afraid to look in the motor i bet there is some skeletons of mice in there..LOL. This weekend im going to take it apart and see the damage. how can i tell if the crank bearings are shot? im guessing by looks and the play in it? how much does it cost for piston & ring kit and a bore for it? a round about price?

[dajogejr]

Pistons, rings, all gaskets, pins, bearings...160 or so.
Figure 50 to 60 bucks a hole for boring...

i sprayed some really expensive anti seize stuff that i have used to get all kids of stripped bolts off of other projects..im hoping that will free it up. also my clutch cable is seized to ..i sprayed stuff on the arm that is suppose to move freely. Ill give it 24hrs and see if it worked.

dude carb cleaner is jus that cleaner it dont lubricate shit but the wd40 should have helped but i have used brake fluid b4 and it always frees it up and once u free it up take the stator cover off and see if the crank has any play in it
