Need help with G16 smoking

BuddyGo · 09-21-2016, 05:08 PM

Got a G16 that will starts smoking 99 (blue smoke) after itS get up to operating temp and eventually fouls the spark plug.. Have checked compression (95# hot), checked carb float and settings, adjusted valves, oil return hose and check valve check ok.
Any ideas as to other probable causes would be appreciated.

95# is way low. I'm not aware of an oil return line or check valve on a G16. Earlier models, yes.

Thanks Guys, What should one expect to get for compression reading on this engine?

Check to make shure the compression reading is with the carb throttle shaft is at "wide open position". Useually with smoking/fouling, it's colapsed oil rings. Sounds like a valve might not be closing on the low compression. They can stick because of carbon.

Any way you look at it, that motor needs rebuilt or a new motor
