GG txt 249 oil spitting out of exhaust with white smoke

Featured Replies

What could the issue be? Piston and rings needs replacing? Crank seal? 

Any other ideas? Cheers

Sounds like a crank seal. You can usually smell the difference between 2stroke and gearbox oil

Could the white smoke be in fact steam? I seem to recall reading that white "smoke" could be indicative of a head (o-ring) leak into the combustion chamber. Perhaps do a quick assessment of your coolant level? 

As above, white smoke is usually water. It is possible that the cylinder head O rings have hardened up and are leaking allowing water into the cylinder. Have a check also on the clutch cover sight glass to see if the oil in the gearbox/clutch looks clean, or is a milky colour, indicating that the water pump shaft and seal are leaking. Bye, Peter B.

He says its spitting oil out the exhaust, yet you guys are convinced its water? WTF

second that on the crank seals, if there is il coming from the exhaust.
