So my little 2-stroke has been quite the champ. I'm hard as **** on it, and it's lasted me around 12,000 miles. All I've done is change out the cylinder/rings once.
Anyway, now it's having a weird issue. Not sure if it's a problem, but it's weird.
When I first start it up it smokes really bad, so I let it warm up for a min or two to let it get going. Probably needs to be re-ringed again. But lately I've been noticing smoke, looks like it's coming out from the chain sprocket cover on the engine!!
So I put my hand over the exhaust pipe and held the throttle open at the same time. Sure enough, the engine bogged way down, barely running. But did keep chugging along dumping smoke out of sprocket cover!
As I said, it probably needs a re-ring again. It's been a couple years, it's a bit low on compression again. Still ride it daily, and it runs pretty decent though.
But I've never seen that before. What's wrong?
