differentstrokes Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 A little around the tips of the silencers is normal, but it sounds like you've got a bunch of oil built up in your pipes/silencers. I'd pull them of and let them drain, check your packing in your silencers too since it probably soaked them. I don't know if you run or have ran race gas, but it seems like you get a little more sludge with it too. I would bet it's old gas and oil, though.

Banchetta Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Sounds to me, the guy before you left it outside in the rain...I've seen it before where the rain fill the silencers up w/ water over time....mixing w/ the unburnt oil inside. Once you start it..........walla, there is goes....try running it a little. Should clear up. If not and your fouling plugs left and right, then maybe he pulled some mods off and left the jetting really rich... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Should probably take the carbs apart, clean them all up, and check what your jetting is. And what are you mixing your fuel at as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesmoke Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Mix ratio depends on your brand of oil and jetting. mix it 36:1 and you wont have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
