screamin'twin Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 i was ridin the other day it was about 35degrees out. after i climb a big hill with my shee it smokes alot just for a little bit, could this be the jetting because its cold out or something? im running klotz oil at 32:1 Quote
Banchetta Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 could be a large pilot, but I wouldn't worry, my shee does the same thing after dragging or running in 6th gear for any time... Quote
fixitrod Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Probably all the oil that's getting pushed in with the fuel. The fuel burns faster than the oil will. It has to catch up. Quote
BansheeBrian Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Any dramatic temp change since the last time you went riding? Quote
Nightrider Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Think about how hot the pipes are getting after a run like that,like Fixit said,its probably residual oil getting burned off. Quote

Quick question, if thats true then are you for a short time obviously running at a different mixtre? So is that harmfull to the engine even though it is a short while? Quote

Very good point, I wonder if that's why I burnt two cranks in three yrs at the end of a hard run. I'm switching oils anyway. That may have been part of it. Maybe a better burning oil would help.

banshee2sick Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 I had a similar problem, but my plugs look like the main is dialed in right. When I loaded it on the truck I noticed the inside of my pipes were glowing red. Would this be caused by the same thing? Quote
