Dicklez Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 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. Quote
wfobasheeboy Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Same for my First fire off. Smoked & then clean out after time. I was thinking it was from the oiled use to put it together. Still running good have 10 to 15 weekend rides on her. Quote
BrockMoto Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 thats pretty standard... unless it persists your good to go Quote
Larry's Shee Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Congrats on the re-birth . Can't hardly have to much oil on assembly. Don't know what all you've done to it but at least do couple heat cycles and re-torque. Quote
Dicklez Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks on the info guy's! I started thinkin untill the rings seat it will smoke. I will go over all the head bolts after a couple cycles. Thanks Larry. I'm stoked! When it started it was music to my ears. All that work and it didnt blow up. YET. Quote
camatv Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 it will smoke even after the rings seat. usually prelube makes them smoke like crazy should clear up after a few min's of running Quote
