No smoke????

[VarsityBlues]

I run 32:1 mixture and when i was riding i was wondering why there was no smoke. Even on start up there seems to be no smoke but i was riding for a couple hours and it performs fine. I'm worried its running lean still

There are two kinds of lean/rich. There is a lean fuel/oil mixture and there is a lean fuel/air mixture. You could be running a good fuel/oil mixture such as 32:1 but be running a bad fuel/air mixture and have problems. You need to do a plug chop and make sure your air/fuel mixture is good to avoid problems.

Even if it seems if your bike is running well now it could be wearing it out pre-maturely because of your air/fuel mixture.

any chance you silencer needs repacked, I know I repacked mine with steel wool and and it smoked about twice as much as it did before.

Just guessing but sounds like you my be fuel/air lean. Fuel carries the oil so if you dont have enough fuel you wont have enough oil. Lean is harder on engines than being fat. Do a plug chop.

a well tuned 2 stroke Wont puff much for smoke, Take a look at your plug...should be paper bag brown,,Different oils don't make as much smoke as others do.

Spark Plugs

the electrode looked like a 7 and the base looked like an 11. The guy i bought it from put a BR9ES spark plug in it (idk if thats what it uses) but i guess i could look up some spark plugs n try some out n see wat happens or just go buy a jet kit.
