left the engine running for a while (maybe 20 minutes or so) to test the aux-air valve (which seems to be broken, doesn't close completely) and once the engine was hot, it started to spit oil out of the exhaust.
little spreckles on the floor. quite a few. what's wrong ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) i know the valves need adjustement badly. could that be it? Andy |

Your pic of the "stuff" on the floor puddles up more like water
than oil. I suspect it's a mixture of crud from the muffler & water (condensation). I'm somewhat of an expert on smokey startups.......that much oil would produce a bug killing cloud. |
