banshee21 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 this past summer I notice my banshee smoking a little more than usual when I am wide open, so I checked compression and it was a little low so I took the topend apart just honed the cylinder, threw some new rings and top end gasket set. I am running a single 35 PWK with stage 4 intake with 185 main, 42 pilot, and 1.5 turn out on the air screw. Compression is real good after fresh topend around 157psi on both cylinders. I am running a Coolhead with 21cc domes. Now I was climbing a hill yesterday and it was pinned for about 10-13 seconds and the cloud of smoke it left behind was just not normal in my eyes, I have owned 2 strokes since I was 7 years old so I understand they are supposed to smoke but not this much. after the day of riding I checked my tranny fluid and coolant and they were both full right where they was before I went out riding. It has done this it seems ever since I put that single carb on. Also there is oil that just runs out the tip of my silencers after I get on it for a certain amount of time. I run Klotz super-techni plate 40:1 ratio as I have always. Any suggestions? Quote

peterlocal22 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 white smoke usually means antifreeze, blue smoke is oil, black smoke is a too rich mixture. also when riding in cold weather there will be noticable smoke? Quote
robert0762 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 do a leak down to check crank seals Quote
GrMeyer Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Do you remember the color of the smoke? Quote
banshee21 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Posted March 11, 2010 It was white/light grey color. I checked antifreeze and tranny oil everything seems great, it dont miss a beat just smokes nad there is oil an oil trail coming out tail pipes. i have been messing with the jets mainly pilot and I might be getting somewhere...

GrMeyer Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 If your dont ride the banshee like its made to. The oil will start to build up. When I ride trails in the summer, I have to give the bike a blow out run and oil will be all over the pipes. But in the dunes I dont have a prob at all because it gets ran at WOT alot of the time burning the oil fully. But with the color of the smoke being white/gray I would do a leak down like said above. Also, the pilot will only effect the idle to about 1/4 throttle. Quote
broncbob Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 As with all 2 strokes, the pulg will tell the tale......What does the plug look like?? If it's nice and clean, I'd bet you have a bad head gasket, or it's super lean. But if it was super lean, you wouldn't have a lot of smoke. If it's black and nasty looking, it's rich. If it's a nice dark brown, your safe rich, the lighter the brown, the leaner your running. On the money will be the color of a roasted peanut. Why do people never check the plugs?? Quote
