I finally dropped the motor in my son's trizinger to get to the intake to put in Boyesen Power Reeds. The stock metal reeds didn't look bad but I still installed the power reeds.
While I had the motor out I sprayed a can of carb cleaner and a can of seafoam in the stock exhaust muffler and let it sit overnight then drained it then let it sun dry for a few days to see if it would break up some of the soot. I wanted to try the stock pipe, even though it's drilled and I took the baffle out because of how loud the DG pipe is.
I have a clamp on air filter right on the carb, I dropped the main jet down to 90 from 95 since it was running so rich. I put the main needle clip at the very top of the needle to lean it out too.
Now it has gained some of its low end power back. Not 100% but decent. Problem is it REALLY SMOKES. I am using the auto injector and put what 2 cycle oil I had laying around in it, which was for a chainsaw.
Now before I go and put the DG back on (I haven't ran the trike w/DG and new Boyesen Reeds yet), do you guys think that most of the heavy smoke is from the stock exhaust, or from the cheapo oil? Maybe it's burning a lot of the loosened up carbon??? It's running rich but it never smoked this much.
My neighbor gave me a little Amsoil to try so I will be dumping out the cheap stuff and try that.
What do you guys think.
