So I picked this Blaster up Sunday for my wife..Was a frame off rebuild other than lower end,case was never opened..
The guy told me he has maybe a hour on the new top end but after a hour of run time,it started smoking BAD..
When I got it home I looked everything over and oil level was right at the bottom of the oil sight hole,so I topped it off and fired it up..When I first started it,it smoked pretty bad...After about 3mins of running,it was smoking so bad I thought a fire truck would show up lol..Shut it down and haven't and don't plan on starting it again until I fix it..I did go over everything and noticed the oil level was again down to the bottom of the oil sight hole,so its sucking oil from the crank case and burning it..Did a google search and everything I read says its a common issue with the crank seals so before ordering new crank seals,bearings and gaskets,I rather have a 2nd opinion before tossing money in it but all signs point to crank seals...Smoking white bad,oil level drops and fogs the whole area im in with in 3mins...Heres a short video I took yesterday and you can see how bad its smoking..I started recording as soon as I started it so you can see how bad its smoking and didn't even run 2mins ..
