    when say fuel pump it has had issue there you can go thru all the gears hard on 5th it will fall on its face then you let off the gas for a few seconds it picks back up but i never noticed any problems with it cruiising around

    yeah my other tri's don't smoke like this one. just thought maybe the previous owner put to much oil in the fuel mix in it. i was wondering if the crank seal was bad but never had this problem with any of my other tri's

    170 is a bit to the higher side, whatcha runnin for fuel..? suppose it could be the carb starving for fuel, i have never messed with a stock Z carb..everyone i have had in my hands had the stocker thrown out long ago. Still bit odd to overheat that quick if everything is in check, Your mag side basegasket dry or coverd in oil??
