So I recently completed a valve adjustment on my bike. It was the first time I did it so you can imagine the countless hours of preparation and research that i put in to ensuring I did a good job!
Anyway job complete, started the bike, great it runs lovely, off I went to bed that night with a nice sense of satisfaction. The next morning I top up the fuel tank and run it again, I see a puff of smoke out of the exhaust! I said to myself “ahh it’s just some residue on the exhaust or something” nothing to worry about. Next time a run the bike more smoke appears! That’s it I’ve wrecked it!! Stem seals, blow by, I’m going to have to strip it. Gutted!
Fed up I went to mow the lawn with my trusty Honda, top it up and start it and it’s started to smoke!
What’s going on.... After a couple of days of tearing my hair out I realised I used the fuel can with pre mixed 2 stroke!!! After topping of the tank with fresh fuel it’s probably running around 100/1.
