Well, I measured the output today it's @2cc/6 min.



when I left work, I didn't need to use the choke, so I didn't.

She still smoked above 3000rpm for the first 2-3min.



Would not having a thermostat have anything to do with this problem?

It never warms up past the first mark.
Your not running a thermostat???Why?Does it smoke in high rpm range?How bad?You might have a bad oil seal.

It didn't have a thermostat in it when I got it.

I guess I should put one in.



yes, ^4000 it smokes. after 3-4 minutes it stops and I can

go all the way to buzzz (oops! shift!) without smoking https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif



I guess I'd better start looking for parts? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

As long as it doesn't smoke constantly then its not too bad yet.But builing a engine on the side can be fun.It prolly would be a good thing to put a thermostat in tho.

ok, Will do. Then I will let you know.



at least the choke won't stay on forever https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

The choke will cut out as soon as the tempature hits a certain spot.So adding a thermostat will sovle that problem anyways.

What type of oil do you use for premix? And what ratio do you premix at?

well guys, I re adjusted the timing to 27/19 (somewhere around there) and installed

a thermostat.

Guess what? Now it only smokes if i floor it when the choke is on! :bigok:



The friggin heater works now too!



I can live with that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



thanks for the help!

As long as it doesn't smoke in the higher rpms I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets worse, It's just a rotory thing to smoke, they all do, especially on start up.
