muffler smoking?

[GratefulUndead]

why is this happening and how do i fix this? newly built bike started for the first time and ranfor about 10 min.

It's probaly just oil and grease that got on it while you were building it just burning off. It will burn off after one ride.

The engine will also smoke for a bit, but it's just Oil burning off.

Ok cool, just making sure. Cus the first bike I built didn't smoke too much at all. Thanks.

Smoking mufflers can stunt your growth.

It would help to know what engine you have. 2 stroke? 4 stroke? If a 2 stroke what fuel/oil ratio are you using?

^^^This.

If you're breaking in a new 2 cycle engine at 16:1, it'll most likely smoke -----from multiple places.


Good luck

if you have a muffler with the large catalytic converted inside, it will eventually burn all the paint off the middle

2 stroke grubbee '12, almost positive I used 16:1 but it is a possibility I used 20:1. Is it bad to break in with either ratio?

16:1 is too much oil. The kit instructions are WRONG!. 24 or even 32:1 is enough oil. An oil rich mix will cause you some problems. Smoke is only one of them.

I'm doing mine at 32:1 with Echo 2 cycle oil. After I finish the 'break-in', I plan to just use the 50:1 ratio that my Echo trimmer uses. Everything that I've researched shows that the Echo oil is towards the top concerning quality.

Man, good thing u told me. I'm gonna flushout the fuel in there now to be safe and put a 24:1 thanks!
