Check your battery isolator switch. Make sure all your connections are secure. Loosen them and inspect for corrosion, apply dielectric grease.

I have a 2001 Xr6 that the original oil pump failed to supply oil due to a worn nylon sprocket. Cost me a rebuild and two pistons. I rebuilt the engine but farmed out the machine work locally. ...

It's normal for a new impeller to pump at a higher pressure but that's where the poppit valve comes in. Many... most folks overlook the maintenance of that valve assy. It opens and relieves the...

That's great, so is mine!!

That's great!!

Best laugh I had all day!! That was great!

How did the cylinder walls look?

As mentioned above and if you have a battery isolator/switcher, check it first.

Hmm, no one mentioned the poppet valve? If the poppet is stuck closed with a new water pump kit it would seem likely the pump would have no relief and would continue to build pressure until it...

Analogies are the greatest teachers!

I've only tuned in on this thread while researching another topic. I wish you luck in your endeavor. If it was mine I'd zero in on the stator. But hey, what do I know?

PS. if not already mentioned...

Yes, but again temperature has entered the equation. Electronic components and what makes them tick are highly effected by temperature, pressure, moisture, and other environmental factors. In a...

On an otherwise healthy ignition system that would be the case. When the energy at the plug is not sufficient to overcome the added backpressure it makes all the difference.

STATOR, or other failing electronic items. It has to do with cylinder pressure, more specifically, backpressure in this case. Have you ever seen how a spark plug is tested. In general aviation plugs...

I've read through the post and must have missed that suggestion. Yes, any breakdown in the electrical path from the battery to the engine and back again to the battery will effect the performance of...

My .02 From your observations you are troubleshooting an air/fuel issue, and it would seem that way, but the reason you haven't solved the problem is it's not a fuel delivery issue. It's an...

Aint that a bitch!@

That's Great!!

Thanks Don, and I did get all the rod bolts from you too. She's up and running today and purring like a V-6 should. That was my whole day.

S/N OT324064 2001 XR-6, Original rod bearing assemblies are housed in plastic cages. I am replacing one set of rod bearings and they came in a metal cage. Can I use a set of these intermixed...

The only thing left to check or replace is the mechanic. Seems your mechanic is a parts changer and not a troubleshooter.

Thought the XR6 only came in a 150 hp ??

Other than that my 150 XR6 is everything Don said

I painted the XR6 cowl and had Iguana Grafix make some decals. They did a great job. I pulled ideas from his website and changed things up a little. No one will be wondering what just passed them....

I have the exact motor and have no complaints. Other than the faded paint which I just took care of it's a great running little gas hog. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
