Re: blowing smoke

It's normal for you bike to blow smoke. If there is too much smoke, try leaning out the air/fuel mixture, or increase your fuel/oil mixture to 50:1

increasing? you mean decreasing ofcourse correct? and white smoke is not air to fuel mixture,white smoke in these applications means oil is burning,aka too much oil in the mix.I would highly reccomend going DOWN on the oil to a 40:1 mixture

Re: blowing smoke

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't some smoke normal, even with a correct mix, on a 2 cycle? I tried different oil myself that is smokeless, the other oil I used was quite smokey at full throttle and I used the mixer that came with the bike.

Re: blowing smoke

smoke is normal but white smoke means burning oil.when i used to run 32:1 i had white smoke,but when i went to 40:1 i had no more white smoke,maybe a tiny cloud every once in a while

Ya, my plug was just right coming out and mine smoked like hell. I changed oils to a smokeless and now it doesn't smoke, imagine that.

Re: blowing smoke

Castor oil=no burn=no smoke= 32:1 ratio

Synthetic oil= burns=smoke=50:1 ratio

Sorry for repeating but everyone gives the same ratios (40-50:1) but they never specify which oil that ratio is for.

For semi-synthetic oil, like Castrol 747, you should run a 40:1, and it will barely smoke and give that castor protection i love.

Re: blowing smoke

dont use castor
If for some stupid reason you do, you should mix marvel mystery oil (However it's spelled) in with some fuel and run that through the engine and carb, otherwise you will have one gummed up engine

Re: blowing smoke

Its not your oil
the samething is happening to me now clean out your silencer stuff (not sure what its called the white matterial inside the shroud). i looked at mine today and its full of oil and when ever it heats up it causes more white smoke. i ran my bike without the muffler and there was barely any smoke coming out

Re: blowing smoke

The castor from Castor beans will separate from the fuel if it sites to long, and if it gets cool out.
Thats why you never use castor oil when it's cool outdoors.
Also there is often fibers from the bean in the fuel mixture that will clog carburetor jets.

Running the MM oil mixture through eliminates possible gumming

More protection, More carbon buildup, Higher maintenance.

Next time don't post misinformation.
