These last 2 days i was finaly able to go where the verts parked and work on it some and get it running again. Yesterday I made adjustments on everything and today finished up all the lose ends. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

Well the car seems to be smoking really bad right now and i dont know why. It did it yesterday but when i started it todday i didnt notice any. I just started it again and the smoke was back.

I dont know much about premix but im now running some in the car since the mop is slightly disabled becuase of a broken line. I put in 6oz with a 3/4th tank of gas. Would that ratio cuase alot of smoke?

RONIN FC 11-27-2003 07:39 PM

Yes!

Silver Ninety Three 11-27-2003 07:45 PM

6 oz isn't that much. Fd guys run about 8 oz per tank with no omp

1Revvin7 11-27-2003 07:58 PM

Yea that looks like a rich mixture smoke.

Apex13B 11-28-2003 12:56 PM

i dub thee car "smokey"



its oil smoke alright, but i cant tell if its premix or broken motor smoke.

Seppuku 11-28-2003 01:02 PM

id rather it be left at premix smoke. The car never smoked at all when i parked it and its only been smoking the last few days. but it had the premix in it before the smoke started. My mop isnt completly disconected its still slightly running just without the rod connected to the TB. Im guessing that plus the mixture in the gas is enough to make it smoke that bad.

pengaru 11-28-2003 03:39 PM

does it smell like the yard does after the landscapers leave?



it's usually quite easy to tell if it's premix or not, it reeks of 2 stroke engine when it's premix.

Seppuku 11-28-2003 04:14 PM

well with my alergies i can barely smell but from what i can tell theres a little bit of premix and alot of gas. It doesnt smell that much different than it did before. I'll have someone double check the smell later on.

I would leave the stock fan and shroud and not mess with a electric

one.

teknics 11-29-2003 09:35 PM

How long has it been itting? if it been ndown long that could be why its smoking, getit warmed up and rev it smoothly, that may cure the smoking.



o and i vote for electric fan, Stock fan i so oogly,



kevin.

BigTurbo74 11-30-2003 02:24 AM

but works great, not like you can see it under the shroud anyhow.



and after seeing some people's wiring jobs, its best they dont mess

with wiring, not saying that it applies in this situatuion, but you get the idea.

yea my car is a good example of wiring gone wrong, i love people who use electrical tape as a replacement for solder or the proper connectors.



i dunno i was just never a fan of that shroud it takes up so much room in my eyes.
