ok I just got in and the damn thing still smokes. This is what I did I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Then I slowly upped the rpms from ~2.5k to 3k to 4k then I would bounce it to 5-6k then I did like 4 or 5 redlines. Still smokes like a bitch on crack. I took out the plugs which look nasty comming from an N/a point of view. I will take some pics in a second and post them up.

More importantly, i've already asked, what does it smell like???
2-stroke oil? or Engine oil? (or coolant?? )

It wasn't for 5 minutes. The warming up part was 5 minutes. I sat there for 15 minutes reving it and some redlining too. I can't smell ****! :/




If you can see these well enough Rotor #1's plugs are noticably darker than Rotor #2's plugs. And both are really rich. :/

either it is injecting WAAAAY too much fuel into that motor or the oil control seals are actually gone.


Ooor...
where did you add the 2stroke into the engine?
isit possible there is still some left in the inlet?

OH and another thing happened right now. It won't idle anymore. I have to keep it at 1200 or above with the accelarator or it will slowly stumble and stall.


Two other things I noticed is when I would rev it high it would lessen the amount of smoke that would come out but as soon as it goes back down it will start to smoke again. And the one thing that freaked me out is that the dipstick was raised. I specifically remember putting it in and all the way down.

I poured the two stroke in through the exhaust ports while I turned it by hand.

I have a clogged nose so I could tell you if it smelled like candy or poo. Besides I am not good at describing things.

So what kind of abuse kills oil seals? so I can start looking into what to do when I crack this thing open.
