atc250R oil from exhaust

[jason0779]

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.

I'm assuming it wasn't running :D

Basically, yeah, when it's running it will burn that oil off. That is what lubricates your crank bearings and cylinder.

Yeah it wasn't running. Haha. Thanks though, that is kind of what I thought, but I also thought that the oil in the gas is what lubricated the cyclinder?

It is, but some will inevitably pass along to your exhaust system, it's completly normal to have a little come out when jetted correctly.
