2spark 6 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 On start up I have a small bit of smoke coming from down behind the engine. Starts after 30secs or so after starting and it stops after a 30secs or so later. Any ideas on causes/solutions? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a scale of 1 - 5 I'd give it a 3, as you never know how rotten the studs are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can take my towbar off for me if you like though Towbars are easy to get off:confused: All you need is 200m of thick rope and a sturdy tree. I reckon it'd just pop off without any drama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Oh and btw Sparky, I'm only guessing at what it may be, but does it sound like the exhaust blows till it's warmed up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
