my 1979 Motobecane restoration project is almost complete. It obviously hasn't been run in several years. I took it around the block for the second time today and when I got back to my house and killed the engine I noticed there was quite a bit of smoke coming from the engine itself especially in the head and cylinder area. what would cause this?
double post my bad
oils being burnt off...
will this stop by itself or do I need to do something about it? I'm currently running a 57 jet on my dellorto 15.15sha. thanks
are the head and cylinder clean? if not cean them up
I may be just burning some of the sludged up oil in your cylinder/case gasket.
that could be too. i wouldn' worry about it too much if your performance is good. either way it should go away by itself shortly
use some brake cleaner on that thing!!
(not on the paint though!)
and sometimes the back flow from the carb collects and drips straight down onto the pipe
