I did several things lately and want some feedback.
1.) I shortened my muffler by quite a bit, I m wondering if shortening it has revealed the smoking, whereas the longer muffler was hiding some of the exhaust? I don t think that makes any sense...
Moving on...
2.) I rebuilt the hydraulic pump with new orings and gaskets to prevent oil from the hydraulic pump leaking into the crankcase. I only noticed the smoking today, it seems to been fine for the past four days. I use 30W in both the hydraulics and crankcase, so I m not concerned about them mixing too much.
The smoke is slightly blue in color. It seems like when it s idling the smoke is clear, when I thrust the throttle up a little puff of blue smoke will come out then go back to "clear" exhaust like it s been. Thoughts ?
