    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

White Smoke. Should I Worry?

Poured a little Marvel Mystery Oil down all four cylinders of the T and tried moving the wheel a little in second, but it wouldn't really budge. Tried all the gears and it got easier as I got higher, but not much.

Took her out and started her. She started right up, but would bog a little under throttle, and there was a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, more the right than the left. It went away after a little bit, but that was scary. She runs like normal now, complete with the tendency to die when coming down off of high revs every once in a while.
 
that would be the oil burning off, nothing to worry about unless it doesnt stop.

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to check.

Should I have waited a while before starting her up? I didn't harm anything, right?
 
Waiting would have only DELAYED the smoke, not PREVENTED it. Unless you waited several months or so. ;)
