smoke ????

[trble]

ok dumb question for you guys. i bought my blaster last fall had the jug redone due to it being blown when i bought it noticed a high rev last fall when i was doing its break in, found this forum and figured it was the crank seals. then it got to cold to work in my garage so we got here to spring time and finally did the seals and got it so there was no air leaks. so today i go out and ride it for a bit probably 45min-1hr, i know my jetting is a little off but im on the rich side so im ok with that till i have time to tinker with it. i noticed at the beginning of my ride maybe 10-15 mins in i would get a fair bit of smoke blowing out after i slowed down to take a quick smoke break, then i took it out for 40-45 mins and barley noticed any smoke just a light smoke. either im going crazy possibly or would the heavy smoke that i noticed at the beginning be the leftover oil from when it had the crank seals leaking or is it a new problem i should check for? also i know i need to do some plug chops to get my jetting right but do you guys think im in the ballpark with a 260 jet stock carb the only mod thats on the quad is a uni filter. i only noticed it barely boggin at the very start of the low gears after it was going it seemed ok to me but im by now means an expert.

ok im way to bored tonight to type this much crap thanks for all the help so far

Well, when i start mine i let it idle for a good 5 minutes to warm up which in turn builds up oil in the engine, as soon as i take off it sputters and spits smoke, after i get it burnt out it smokes nicely. "that is 2 smoke" Soo i think the smoke you saw was from warm up. But hey, what do i know, im only a newby. That 260 sounds kinda rich for just an air filter. No pipe or anything else???

i also let it idle 5 min so that could be it too, yea it looked like a faint 2 stroke smoke after the second ride, but my only experience with 2 strokes is a lil lt 80 that i had fixed just to sell. i keep reading how some people have no smoke or little smoke and wanted to make sure everything sounds ok. the 260 probably is a little big but i wanted to rich then lean next week if the weather is nice here in pa ill try and do a few plug chops today was meant just to enjoy the toy i havent been able to use for 6 months. im really just happy i have a stable idle.
