Exhaust Smoking

[warriorrider13]

Right before I started working on my 350 like the 2nd week in November when it was cold whenever I started my warrior and let it warm up for a bit(choke pulled out)
It would smoke white smoke like CRAZY. Is this just the pipe?(Cobra Q-series)

idk moisture? white usually means water blue mean oil

mine smoked to ... i think is just the cold air and mositure like he said^^^^ but once it warms up it goes away

 

[speedped79]

not on my quad then again my quad puffs blue smoke i wonder wat that means lol

Mine has a lot of blue smoke with the cold weather and the choke... i'm pretty sure that it's the valve seals letting oil past them, because it stops after about 30 seconds

lol... yea Ryan its just condensation, all of our quads do that in cold weather just like a car

Then I guess the question becomes 'was it smoke or steam?'

Steam is condensation, smoke is a problem.

 

[warriorrider13]

steam

 

[yamarider]

can a worn valve seal cause any problems other than just burning oil?

 

[warriorrider13]

no , My 1986 honda does that but it stops when it heats up.

 

[yamarider]

yeah that's what mine does, but I want to make sure it's not going to make something blow up
