    What a great build. Maybe you can mix some 2 stroke oil to the fuel while you reduce the oillevel in the motor. Moder 2 stroke oils doesn t smoke much.

    Hi have you thought about some sealing around the dizzy shaft? I made the experience that after some time oil made its way into the cap and the engine stoped running.
