Okay so Im color blind... I posted a few days back about excessive white smoke but I just noticed its blue. Now I know that is fuel burning.. but Im not sure do I need to lean it out? and is that moving the needle down? Or what else can I change or look at to find out what is causing this problem?

You are mixing oil with the gas and that is what you are seeing burning. It's a normal condition.

blue smoke is burning oil. if you are running a 4 stroke this is not good. this means you either have a problem with your valves or your enigin is wore out and needs a over haul. if it is a 2 stroke this is normal and would not worry about.

Ride it. Then AFTER it is warmed up good see how it runs. If its not ok then come back and tell us what it is doing.

Hope this helps.:)

if I remember correctly BLUE smoke means you are burning oil... Might want to replace your crank seals. Both sides.

Um, your supposed to be burning oil isn't that the whole point of premix?

Blue smoke is fine, white smoke would be bad considering it probably would be fluid from the rad/waterpump.

I was talking about gear oil.

Crank seals are only 5-10 bucks each so it wouldn't hurt to replace them anyways.
