I started up my quad today for the first time on a fresh topend. Prior to this, the quad was in boxes so I pretty much started from scratch. Once I got some fuel flowing and with the choke it started up sluggishly on one cylinder but once it started running with a little trottle both cylinder were firing. I let it warm up a little and hit the trottle a few times and its great and responsive. But its smokin like a bitch. I dont remember any of my other 2 strokes smokin this bad on start up. Could it be from the oil I used to lube the cylinders with? I might have overdone it a little. I was not able to ride it because I had to go to work. Is this normal on start up? I would appreicate any info.
