Hi all,
I just repacked my muffler and got my bike set up after purchasing it used, 1991 KX 250 H2. The idle mixture is 1 and a half turns out, idles fine and starts on first kick. When I pull the plug, it is soaked with oil around it but I have put about 6 hours of trail riding time on it without any foul outs. When the bike first starts, the smoke is almost unbearable and I clear out anyone who is in the surrounding area. Mix is 40:1 with yamalube or red line. Smoke cuts down after warming up but still seems like a lot. The exhaust is dripping with oil but 40:1 seems somewhat conservative. I'm not sure when the top end was last rebuilt, but I'm certain it was sometime ago. The bike is running great but the smoke surely indicates something is wrong. The coolant level is not decreasing so I'm not sure what will remedy the situation.
Thanks for any insight
