cdi could have that thin film of like rust colored dust. or the coil could be shorting when it gets warm.

Try disconnecting the kill switch and running it. Might be a short in there? It was literally just happening on my 70 not 30 minutes ago.

Hello all.

I'm new to this site and i'm new to two strokes. My uncle gave me a 85 250R and I'm restoring the whole thing. It is almost completely done except i'm waiting on a coil to show up and I haven't put the gas tank or exhaust on yet. Quick question. I went to kick the motor over just to move the piston up and down through the cylinder some and I noticed oil coming from the exhaust. Is this normal?? Once again i'm new to the two strokes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry wasn't really sure where to post.
