[QUOTE="1998RM250, post: 1399273, member: 99032"] [b]Had a shop install my crank seals, still revs & smokes![/b] I had a reputable shop install my new oem crank seals as both were shot... Before all this the bike was free reving after you start it, then it would just run wide open. Also put in a new wiseco piston along with all new top/bottom gaskets and seals. Got it home and it fired up right up, and I began the break in process. The bike still felt boggy/smokey which i expected with the crankcase oil residue, then once it warmed up the bike just stopped bogging and ran decent on the stand for a sec then the idle started to surge so I killed it. Took apart the carb again and none of the jets are clogged. Started it back up a few times, and its boggy and really smokey until the thing warms up a bit then it just clears up and the idle starts to climb until it screams as it goes lean. I've checked all the obvious things like throttle cable, idle etc none seemed to make a difference. I'm trying to think of what else could possibly cause this to happen when it warms up, The only other gaskets to replace are the reeds, but it would most likely run lean all the time then, not just when it gets warm. This all did seem to start after i replaced all the vent tubes on my carb with one new ones, and adjusted the needle clip one day. I've since checked it many times and putting the clip back where it was did nothing, plus the pilot controls the idle anyways. I'm pretty stumped guys, I thought I would be riding this weekend but I guess not... :bang: [/QUOTE]
