[QUOTE="DAX-IT!!!, post: 192018, member: 14868"] [ATTACH=full]69288[/ATTACH] It might just be smoking a lot because it hasn't run for long, long time and because of the oil you put in the barrel. Also, there may be years of crud in the exhaust thats being burnt off. I bought an ST 90 that had laid in an out-house for years. I firstly changed the oil, (that smelt like parafin and ran like treacle) cleaned out the tank (as best as I could) of the caramelised petrol residue, cleaned the carb and fuel lines, freed the timing advance weights, cleaned the points, checked timing, checked/set the valve clearence gaps, put some fresh fuel in and it started - it still smoked !!! :eek: Check all the obvious things first, give it a run round the block and see if the smoking stops/clears before heading out on the stripping the engine down road - it might just save you a lot of unecessary grief !! :) Then you can use all that extra time saved making it look great !! ;) I've put a picture of mine up to give you an idea of what it was like. I'm now rebuilding it so will post more pics as and when. Hope you get it going and looking great :monkey: - best regards !!! [/QUOTE]
