Hey guys!
After 8 months of reviving a 450 (enginewise - carb rebuild, total ignition system rebuild, valve clearance, timing chain tension, etc. etc.) I finally got it running. It'll run steady, however, it smokes. Good white puffs every stroke.
Where should I be looking? Valve stem seals? Piston and rings?
Have yet to formally check compression but from many intimate kicking sessions it feels solid.
Wear should I be looking first?
Thanks guys.
