Hi, I recently installed a brand new from Gasbike 49cc HS with 7G on an old (60's) Schwinn cruiser, fired it up the first time a couple days ago and oil was leaking heavily from the stock carb. I fired it up again today and it's still leaking oil from the carb plus a heavy amount of white smoke comes out of the exhaust. I had it running for about 5 minutes, it didn't stop until I turned off the engine. (I'm using 10w30 SAE conventional oil from Autozone with detergents to break it in.)
The black rubber breather
tube connected from the engine to the carb wasn't in the engine I noticed today before starting up the engine. I put the tube in the engine before starting it up today... Also the two clear tubes coming off the carb I had put screws in the ends to plug them up. Perhaps they should be removed? I already took them out and will try it again tomorrow as I work during the day.
Anyone ever have this issue or any possible solutions? Should I get a longer tube to replace the black breather tube, disconnect that tube from the carb and instead put a fuel filter in it and have it so the other end that would connect to the carb is pointing straight up?
The engine is also on a slight slant, maybe 10 degrees so the cylinder is almost parellel to the front tube. I hope this isn't the cause cause that's the only way it would fit on the bike. The oil level was full when I filled it when level, being on this slant I put more oil in, maybe half a quart of oil total(or close to it, until it got to the filler neck.) Could it be because I put too much oil in that it is leaking and smoking?
I could take some pictures but need to charge batteries for the camera and I may need to make a few more posts before I can post pics... I hope someone can help with this issue...
