My L100 is running again. It startrs great and runs for about a minute before it begins smoking heavily. Grey smoke from exhaust area. But runs fine.
Model 31F70
Type 01121E1
History...I repaired the exhaust valve seat/guide, lapped the valve, replaced the valve seal but didn't get it fully seated. It started fine but was smoking heavily just as it is now. Replaced the valve seal. New head gasket. Didn't get the intake rod seated properly. Fixed that. Now it has still this smoking problem which I had assumed was caused by the valve seal that broke free from not having it properly seated.
Is this just burning rich which might have caused the heavy carbon deposits in the engine and possibly the valve seat failure? And if it is, how do I find the adjustment screw for the rich/lean adjustment?
The valve cover is leaking slightly. The gasket is visibly worn and I will replace it asap.
Thoughts?
