bro i am calm irdc but everyone in almsot every thread some1 catches heck and also by lean i ment 40:1
getting oil out of my exhaust?

if a 4stroke is smoking tht usually means it is wore out???? from the best of my memory u might wanna fix tht quick
Hold out your hand you naughty boy, I can't believe I read that.
It sure burns the oil, but are you forgetting there is a piston in there as well as oil.
Changing from 32:1 to 40:1 defeats the purpose, it runs fuel rich, which runs cooler and consequently will not burn off the oil.
Just run it as normal 32:1 and soon it will stop smoking.
Risk excessive wear or even a meldown for a little oil in the pipe?
If you're A.D.D. or anal, pull the pipe off and rinse /clean with diesel, then straight gas. Myself I wouldn't waste my time or fuel. It's a 2s, you're gonna have spooge anyhow

light rides not even a full tank read the other posts
Leaner on oil = richer on fuel.
Richer on fuel = cooler burning.
Cooler burning = more spooge.
I presume that the jetting was correct before you blew the seal, and the smoke was was produced by an excess of gear oil in the pipe.
So now you have changed your breathing by removing the air box lid, it would be a smart idea to do a plug chop to confirm your jetting.
You could now be running a little on the lean side, which is very dangerous.

If you change the ratio from 32:1 to 40:1, owing to less oil in the mix (yes you get a mix leaner on oil) there is now more fuel volume which results in a richer fuel mix.
Hence adding less oil to the fuel requires a smaller jet to compenesate for the richer gas mixture.
dont have enough room for a plug chop but after 2 hours of riding around in 1-3 gear the plug was a little darker than cardboard
If it was running well before you took the air box lid off, you may be running too lean.
If you change the breathing you have to change the jetting to suit.
A word of warning, by taking off the airbox lid you may have created a slightly lean mixture.
It may well scream like a Banshee being chased by a scalded cat, but that is what a slightly lean mix will do.
The other thing that it does it causes mild, unnotoiced detonation, which will fry your piston.
My advice is, for you not to fang it until you find somehere to do a plug chop, to confirm that jetting.

before i took it off it smoked more, and bogged, now it smokes less and runs great, ill do a plug chop when i take it out
