zanepetty 117 #1 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm thinking that maybe the rings need to seat a little bit as I only have about 6 hours on my motor since the rebuild, but when I throttle up it puffs a little bit of smoke. Also when it is idling down when I hit the kill switch. But those are the only times. Do ya think my rings aren't seated completely yet? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #2 Posted January 23, 2015 It could be the rings or the carburetor could be to rich What color of smoke is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zanepetty 117 #3 Posted January 23, 2015 It's really hard tell. I don't believe it's black. and its def not super white. So that's what makes me think it's oil. But it's hard to tell. I have adjusted the carb several times and it still does it. It still could be too rich though. I'm hoping its rings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #4 Posted January 23, 2015 I wouldn't be to worried if its only doing this on throttling up and down I would just run it sum more and keep an eye on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordiesel69 271 #5 Posted January 23, 2015 The stens rings I got for one of my spare M12's took over 10hrs to seat, and then winter hit, so it will probably take a tad longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
