Title: Re: HONDA RANCHER BLOWING WHITE SMOKE? Post by: Truegrit on February 01, 2005, 08:08:20 AM Try flushing the motor with deisel fuel. Turn the kill switch off. then turn the bike over for 10-15 secs. drain and repeat a few times then change the oil twice more, running it for a few moments, then change the oil and filter for the last time. There are a lot of nooks an crannies in the motor that need to be cleaned out, the deisel fuel is thin enough to draw out the water.
If it persists after that, you have probably done internal motor damage, i.e. piston rings or bent a valve. Was the motor hydrolocked and you tried to crank it? You can try a motor honey for a temp fix, to stop the smoke. On a positive note - it may be time for a big bore kit. Title: Re: HONDA RANCHER BLOWING WHITE SMOKE?
