Welcome

Your rings are toast! Don't ride it

White smoke? It is a 2 stoke, What 2 stroke oil are you using?
Why did you clean Both tanks?

Cheers

What kind of test ride can you do on the 10th floor?

Yes, check the rings. How many miles were on it?

he was kidding about the rings, unless you were too. On a two stroke you get smoke normally and the rings don't work the same way as in a 4 stroke.

The only problem with too much smoke is that you could be getting too much oil in the mix and end up fouling plugs often. I'm not sure if the ET2 oil pump is adjustable but it could be dumping too much in. Also, different kinds of oil can smoke more or less. Ipone makes a nice low smoke oil.

YES! Joking about the rings. See


Cheers

....oil REPSOL 2T full synthetic....flushed the tanks cause there's allways crap on the bottom of them- at least in the gas tank, about the oil tank I had no idea what oil was in it, so I put my own...just to b sure.



....a bit smoky is all right then, well I 'll check mixture % somehow...loosen up the oil pump cable see how that works....


cheers, luca

All two strokes seem to spit an unusually large amount of white smoke if they have sat without running for a while. They get excess oil and build-up that needs to burn off. If it's still smoking after a few minutes of running, then address the issue. If this is the case, it most likely has an oil buildup or is getting too much oil. Also make sure you are running full synthetic two-stroke oil, and not the gas station stuff which will always smoke.

...or it could be you're being named pope!
