95 225 looper motors. First power head sent a rod thru the block on cylinder number 3. Installed new power head, cleaned all carbs. lync and sync. Ran good for two years then clang clang. With the carbs,intake and reeds removed I can see cylinder 5 has pulled the wrist pin and the top of the connecting rod is bent.
I was cruising about 4k RPM and stopped and idled along for about 10 minutes, when I throttled up to take off is when it threw the rod.
Crazy thing is it is similar to what happen when the first block thru a rod. idling slow then throttle up and clang clang.
It has always had a good pee stream and wasn't running rough at at all. (Not coughing or kicking at all)
After the first head blew I installed a new VRO2 to rule that out.
When I removed the recirc tubings and blew thru to make sure they were clear I could taste the oil AND the oil tank was going down so I'm pretty sure not an oil problem.
Going to go thru the carbs again with a fine tooth comb but dont suspect they are the problem..Anyone have any insight ? Coincidence, highly unlikely.
How would you go about determining what is causing the problems?
