smoke is coming out of my right exhaust pipe after riding for approx 45 min to 1 hr , thought this problem was due to a leaking petcock vacume line sucking gas and blasting it into carb number 3 , but after correcting that issue , the problem is still there , smoke usally only comes out of right pipe when i come to a stop , which is rather imberising !!! a big plume of smoke , makes me disapear as i hope most days are windy , cuzz the smoke isnt as noticable !!! hahahaha
ok so what can be causing this problem , and what steps do i need to take to inspecting which of the many areas of the engine that could be causing this problem ? again smoke only from right side pipe !!!
1 - worn piston rings or cylinder
2 - worn valve guides
3 - worn out cylinder walls
4 - worn valve stems
5 - defective stem seal
not sure if any of you can tell me a way of doing a process of elimination here , or am i pretty much going to have to remove entire head , replace all piston rings etc etc rebuild top end ? hopefully not the case if so ill have to sell this old beast !!! cuzz that just isnt in my cards dropping $1000 for a top end rebuild ..
or do i just drive the shlit out of her and ignore the looks from peoplke when that puff of smoke fills the air ... and the car next to me with there window open ..... hahahaha
