T500 smoke show!

Post by RossB »

Hey Gents!
My 74 T500 is complete! Problem is smoking a lot when I get on it idles just right did all crank seals new Wisco pistons.its not sucking oil from crankcase make dipstick and keep close eye on the oil level. I did rebuild on oil pump and no air in lines and adjusted pump. The oil that basting out is 2 stroke oil seems like it's to getting to much oil?
Thanks!

Go for a 20 mile run on it and burn the oil off.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

It may just be from oil residue in your pipes. I agree with Alan, run it for a while and see if it calms down. If not, and you haven't already cleaned the exhaust system, try that.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

I see you say you rebuilt the oil pump. Sometimes problems can occur if the actuator arm is not put back in the correct manner. Worth a check

If they are brand new Higgspeeds, they shouldn't be causing the smoking. I would not bother cleaning them. I though you had stock pipes on it.
