I'm no genius but I think the 2 stroke engine was designed to smoke just a bit...

Yea, I knew that, it just seemed like a bit more than I would expect, and didn't have the typical 2 stroke exhaust smell. I'm thinking a bunch of oily junk just built up in there while it was sitting and that I need to burn it out thoroughly. Seems like there used to be an exhaust leak as well, since there was some oil around the exhaust pipe flange. I tightened the flange bolts up though, should be good. Picking up a helmet tonight so I can register it and legally take it for a spin.

Hi
Its good to see you got her running well, and its normal for them to smoke alittle and if you let them sit a while then carbon can build up and make them smoke more then normal, that should pass in time as the engine gets more use
Are you using a quality 2 stroke oil as that will help keep the smoking down
I use Royal Purple for my "April"

Thanks Hank. Pretty sure there is crappy quality oil in there right now as it came with a mostly empty bottle of generic 2 cycle engine oil. The bottle does say ok for use with oil injected engines, but I will go to the local scooter shop and pick up the good stuff ASAP.
