Try a little fuel grade castor oil, smells nice. An expansion pipe will put the fumes behind you.

Get a new gas cap gasket.

No money for an expansion pipe right now.

Does the castor oil take place of some of the 2-stroke oil? What mix to use? I just bought some new 2-stroke oil and made a gallon last night. Might have to try some castor next time I need gas.

I think this new oil might smell a bit better. The last batch of gas I had was from the guy that sold me the bike. I have a feeling he used one of those little things of weedeater 2-stroke oil. Don't think it smelled quite so much like a weedeater this morning, but it did still stink.

Hah I forgot about that stuff. A guy I used to work with raced dirtbikes and would make his exhaust smell like mint or cherry or whatever.

Now that would be funny. I'm riding a motorbicycle and it smells like raspberry to boot, lol.

Ah that smell is manly! Drives the women wild.
Of course though if you're married that may cause a problem.
