bestrcpilot Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I run the same oil and also at 50/1 and it does not smoke a lot. Have you clean out the exhust? I found that mine smoked a lot with the old exhust until I burned it out. just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davdeborg Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 no not cleaned it out do you mean whole exhaust or just tail pipe what did you clean it out with ? or how did you clean it out ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 try giving it a bit of a thrashing that should clean it out well enough see if it smokes less after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestrcpilot Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi I mean the whole exhust. i started a fire in a big steel drum and put the exhust in the fire and let it burn overnight. Do not try it this way if it's alum. If you get the exhust good and hot like after a long long ride and it still smokes after you shut the motor off then it's oil build up in the exhust.
