Ok,
update. Ive replaced the right hand crank seal n there has been no change in the smokeiness coming out of the exhaust. I havent checked the reeds yet as it was starting fine so thought they must be fine. I will check them tonight. My money was on the crank seal but it seems that is not the problem.
I went through a river crossing a few weeks back which resulted in an expansion chamber full of water. I still dont know if it came through the exhaust or the intake. I would have thought if it came through the intake then I would not have been able to start the bike. From memory I think the bike stopped briefly on the other side of the river but after a couple of kicks I got it going again and I didnt think of it again until I discovered water in the expansion chamber days later. Would there be any chance that there is water in the big end or somewhere that is causing it to be sucked up into the chamber and giving me all the smoke??
thanks
JC
