Super Smoke!...

[SpookDog]

It’s definitely been gravity feeding the oil in. I left the pipe off with a noticeable air gap at the top (5mm). It’s right the way up to the top of the pipe now...
I can’t believe that I’m the only person that this has happened to. It might be shite watery 2/ oil though. It was in there when I got the bike...
Any suggestions on what and where to buy in bulk? A gallon, maybe?...

@SpookDog castrol is always good can usually get good bulk deals on it check ebay

I don’t know about anyone else but I always notice my bike smoke loads on start up, it’s not until she’s given a good Rev or ridden through powerband the first time that she coughs up a load of smoke then eases off and goes to normal
I’ve been told oil injected bikes are a known for being like that

[markus.w]

@declan i forgot about injection too but then mine is on premix.

[declan]

@Stevie-Wonder yeah that goes for all 2 strokes the oil doesent burn efficiently at lower temps so you need to clear their throats when they do warm up

[SpookDog]

Since last night it’s filled up the air gap at the top of the tube and has a big ole drip on it. Not much but over the course of a week or two it adds up. Dunno why there isn’t a ball/spring one way valve like the Tzr?

[Calum]

That doesn't sound right. I don't recall bubbles coming up on my oil feed.

Regardless, it shouldn't make too much difference. So long as it doesn't make its way to the pump.

[SpookDog]

I mean I took the pipe off that goes onto the inlet manifold, after the pump. The air was just from pulling it off. I Left it off overnight. It was higher than where it pushes on, not hanging down...

[SpookDog]

WoW!...
I emptied out the 2/ bottle and rebled the pump in last night with good oil. I put the small diameter clear pipe on that runs from pump to inlet, but I left it empty.
Since last night it has risen 4inches just gravity feeding through the pipe!! I’m seriously thinking of getting a one way valve if possible. Anyone know of any purpose made bits? Before I search...

[SpookDog]

Just found out an old pump and removed the oil out union, it’s a simple press fit. It DOES have a ball bearing and spring jobbie in it, the end of the spring had gathered a ‘plug’ of micro-lint, which was stopping the valve working properly. I’m guessing that the one that’s on the bike will be the same. I’ll soon see when I take off the pump for the umpteenth time!...

@SpookDog
can you put pictures of that blocked valve up here?

[SpookDog]

@chris
Sorry bud, I’ve already cleaned it up and put it back on the bike. It’s better now though, hasn’t rose at all...
I don’t know how to post pics with my iPhone either...

[SpookDog]

This just fell out my pipe! I’m glad I fixed it now!!...

All oil. All nasty!...

[declan]

@SpookDog yummy

[chris]

@SpookDog
why was that oil in your exhaust, is it from your oiltank reservoir that was gravity feeding?
that valve youve mentioned, how does it work, i mean how it is supposed to open or close

[SpookDog]

@chris

It’s built into the silver union that delivers 2/ through the small diameter pipe to the inlet manifold.
It’s a small spring and ball bearing...

And yes, it was gravity feeding. The rest is in the thread...

Just one of the obscure & amazing things that weigh down on my attempts to create something meaningful in my life ️

@SpookDog

If you take it apart, use a drop or so of bearing/thread lock to secure it properly...
