Marathon 350 rebuild ?
About a month ago I rebuilt a robin350 engine with new pistons,rings, all seals and gaskets. Well it smokes white smoke when it's in a bind . My grabpa keeps telling me the rings need to seet. What's ya'lls opinion? I have change oil with exactly 1.5 quarts also. Also the kart is slightly lifted. I'm not for sure on what size...

You could have oil in the muffler.

Re: Marathon 350 rebuild ?
I'd say "grabpa" is right. we went down this road around a month ago. they have yet to come up with a way to fix not honing the cylinders when rebuilding. well other than taking it apart and doing it how we like to call "the right way".

Re: Marathon 350 rebuild ?
probably not if you keep oil in it, might gum up the muffler some
