smoke

Hi everyone! My predator 212cc engine has been smoking (white) on start-up since the last few days. (It goes away when i turn the choke off). I was wondering if this was dangerous or just what is going on with the engine. Other than that it runs just fine. Thanks in advance!:laugh:

I have a B&S on my push mower that runs poorly. I bought it at an auction for $2 because it wouldn't start. The ethanol gas from 3 years ago had gone bad. I cleaned the tank and carb, changed oil, and gave it a few pulls. It fired right up and ran ok. After a little mowing it began to surge and...

Alright guys I cam across something today that I have been worried about. My Predator 212 has seem to have lots of blow by. Its been smoking a lot and when I shut down the engine in just pull the cord slowly it puff smoke out the pipe. Im not running valve oil seals could this be the issue...

I have a mild 196cc with 0.020" billet rod, ft honda 1mm rings, billet 6619 fw,18lb springs as well as the usual stage 1 stuff. I noticed that if I free rev the bike with the wheel off the ground there is small amount of blue smoke. Is this from the rings not sealing, sloppy valve guide or...

Hi guys, Picked up an old h80 Tecumseh . Cleaned the carb and got it running . Changed the oil and was careful not to overfill. It runs strong and idles perfectly but oil is dripping out the breather. It does not smoke at all. If the rings are worn would it not be pumping blue smoke out the...

There is a few members entering the build off , who are planning on quiting smoking I guess its time for me too. Any one have any tips that have worked for them ? Wish me luck lol

Im working on this TEC OHH50. It sat for a few years, I got it running fine. It started to blow out white smoke now. Not thick just light white smoke. It still running fine. What would cause this? Do I need new rings? Im wondering where to start. I tried searching and all I found was too much...

Hey guys, I rebuilt an H70 recently. It blows a little white smoke in the higher rpms. Do I just need to give it a little time to break in the new rings? I honed the cylinder and put in a fresh aftermarket piston kit that I got off Ebay. I don't remember if it had chrome rings or not...

WHY TO GO TONY :thumbsup:

hi I just mild built another yellow clone . (Dupor 196cc OHV Racing Engine ARC.) with a flywheel and springs. It starts and runs fine but on the maiden voyage the the rubber valve hose fell out of the breather hole . i noticed smoke that i can see. there is not a lot but i can see it come out...

Ok. So, last week I threw a chain...was never sure why...probably bc the masterlink got caught on something. But, anyways....I finally got everything all nice and pretty -- new chain, no masterlink, new hardware (while I had the wheel off). Took it out today for the first time since it broke...

I just changed my oil for the first time in my 6.5 clone. I tipped it forward (away from the cylinder) to drain old oil. Pored some oil back in it, until it started pouring out of the dipstick hole. went to put the engine on the lawn and start it up, and billows of never ending white smoke...

so after adjusting the loose valves on my 6.5 clone it will not start and white smoke comes out of the exhaust when i try to start it. I took the spark plug out to look into the cylinder then i put it back in is it possible that i put it in wrong? is there a specific torque or something when...

Hi - Just got a doodlebug with the 2.8 engine. I changed the oil 2x, cleaned the air fliter and oiled it, and there is black resideue (i think it's smoke) on my rear fender. What's causing this? I read maybe I'm running too rich? I have my choke half on. Thanks in advance!

My moped runs fine up until its been running and riding for about 15 mins. After that it starts to die on me while I'm riding at like 35. It will keep going as long as I'm giving it gas, but as soon as I stop, it dies. After it dies, I notice a little bit of white smoke coming out of the air...

As my Nighthawk slowly but surely nears relative completion I've finally decided to tear into the HS40 and attempt to rectify its dirty smoking habit. Pulled the head to take a look and while the combustion chamber was extremely oily, the cylinder walls appear and feel quite smooth. Over the...

This is an engine I recently completed a cosmetic restoration on with intentions of using it on my Manco Chopper project. Once I got it running again (never ran it before restoration).. this bitch smokes like a freight train... let it run for about 15 minute to burn out any residual oil in...

I have white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipe. I heard that this means my piston rings are shot but I just replaced them when I put in the ARc rod and flat top piston. I just attached an RLV silencer so could the smoke be from that? What should I do?

OK, well I finally got my briggs 5 hp flatty with a raptor style carb running and I have a few questions. When idling, the engine runs fine. But when I revv up a LITTLE bit, then it spews some white smoke out of the exhaust. It isn't SUPER heavy, but there is a little hint. Also, sometimes, when...
