Little bit of smoke

[01BLASTER200cc]

Hi yall im new to the forum but I was wondering I changed my spark plug today and when I started it there was a little bit of smoke coming from all around the head and exauhst the old plug had oil all over it so I think it may have been the oil burning off but im not sure and I don't wanna ride it with this problem it wasn't a lot of smoke but it was certainly there any suggestions :-/

Wash off the oil and try again.

Any leak in that area can cause a problem.

I put a brand new plug in it the old one had oil on it plus it never leaked oil before

Hey, Welcome to The Dirt Pile

If you have the TORS box/brick on top of carb there is a big knurled knob to adjust idle.

If not, there may be a screw with either a spring or lock nut on it for idle, on left side of carb even with the slide.

you can see why I changed plugs

Idle adjusting.

Start with air screw 1.5 turns out.

Set idle screw so that it has some sort of idle. With TORS big screw under seat on top of unit. No TORS brass screw midway down carb body.

Warm up motor and then set idle screw for a faster idle, 2000rpm+

Adjust air screw either way to get the fastest idle.

Adjust air screw a little at a time leaving 10 secs to allow the motor to respond.

Re adjust idle screw for desired idle .

That plug shows signs of under tensioning.

It also looks like Noah used it in the Ark in the outboard.
