Reply to "Exhaust Smoke"

George PAdmin.

Intake gasket, ring seal both sound like candidates to me. I rule out jetting because you described it as blue smoke.

I use starting fluid to check for vacuum leaks. A compression test, or better yet, a leak down test, sound like good advice to check the rings.

I know Russ doesn't like synthetic oil, so I'm assuming you broke the motor in with mineral oil based lubricant? David Berman had an extreme oil burning problem that was resolved by simply running mineral oil based lubricant through the motor, he had been using synthetic oil.

By the way Art, you've never let us know if the powerband issue was resolved.
