Still hard to say because you aren't moving. You need to have someone take a video of you going through all of the gears. It does smoke more than mine at idle and I am running 36:1 927 Maxima castor (typically mine clears out after a couple hard blips of the throttle). I still think if you have some issues in the motor; rings/seals/etc.

Have you had that smokey pos out for a real ride yet? The previous owner could have run 20:1 in that thing and the pipe and silencer my be coated in the interior. If so it would take a real ride to burn that goo outta there.

No sure havent, hopefull ill get to put a little more time on the seat this week

Opened the silencer up. Nothing in there. I dont mean a little bit , absolutely nothing. Packed it up so maybe that'll make a difference in the sound.

**NO-SCALES** · 10-11-2013, 11:06 AM

SO, I THINK THE AMSOIL MADE A BIG DIFFERNCE , RUNNING AT 40:1. ALOT LESS SMOKE
JUST A SHORT VIDEO BUT YOU CAN TELL THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

ALSO GOT THE BUFFER AFTER THE TANK...LITTLE CLEANER

you need to do a pressure test and a compression test.
IF it passes both, then you can look at jetting and oil ratio.
That's alot of smoke...not normal.
You may have worn rings/piston or a scored cylinder.

You think it still smokes too much?

**Poco Loco** · 10-12-2013, 03:52 PM

Have you taken it on a long ride yet??? I dont think its a ring problem. Its a 2 stroke with the oil in the gas. bad rings can make smoke on a 4 stroker where the crank case oil is getting into the combustion chamber. keep an eye on the gear oil level. If its going down after a long ride that could be the smoke problem. Gear oil getting into the crank case and burning with the fuel. If you havnt been on a long ride yet and really gave it a good chance to clean out, you should try it. I always try the easiest things 1st and work up from there.

**NO-SCALES** · 10-12-2013, 08:04 PM

Got to ride it pretty hard for about an hour this evening . No more smoke trail!!! Time to make a trip to the red river

**Poco Loco** · 10-13-2013, 12:17 AM

**NO-SCALES** · 10-13-2013, 12:29 AM
