My G2 reeks, stinks after it heats up.
Hello everyone. I pop in once a year or so. Always appreciate your expertise!
Halloween is coming up and my wife finally told me to do something about this darn gassy odor (it's not me) that my G2 puts out. It's so bad that people comment on it even. (once again, not me) It's that gas/exhaust kind of gross hot odor. Plug is good. Carb is new. spark plug, check! New oil, check. Plug in gas tank is in. Gas cap is just fine. No leaks in fuel lines. It does not seem to be running rich at all. I do however need to choke it for the first couple of minutes to get it warm enough. Could the fuel pump be an issue? That's kind of the last stop in my mind to take. I"ll be replacing the two fuel lines but I am wondering if the fuel pump may be the culprit? Hoping for some help so i don't continue to stink! thank you! |

Possibly something in the muffler? Baffle broken, insulation, or something foreign...

Re: My G2 reeks, stinks after it heats up.
thanks for the reply swm!
You know, i was just trying to read up on here about the muffler and potential clogs. Thinking it's time for the ol' muffler BBQ? I see some guys take off the muffler and stick it on a fire and let all the old oil and other build up burn off. Anyone try thing with success? If I do the BBQ, how long do i let it sit on the coals. Man my wife already thinks i am a nut bag but this may really do the trick. |

Re: My G2 reeks, stinks after it heats up.
Does it smoke at all? Generally the muffler bbq is to burn out all the unburnt oil inside the muffler. Common in 2stroke motors because oil is mixed in with the gas, but also if you rebuild a 4 cycle engine that has been smoking for a long time, there can be quite a bit in there. I throw them in a fire pit until they stop smoking, let em cool off for a while and reinstall.
Does it smell like raw fuel? Or just regular exhaust smell? What plug are you running? Is the carb OEM or aftermarket? Is the tailpipe off your muffler sooty? |

Re: My G2 reeks, stinks after it heats up.
Check the breather hose that goes from the engine top to the airbox, it is the pcv more or less and if unhooked it really stinks like blowby. Otherwise unless something is leaking it may just be the exhaust. When they get worn they start to stink like eye burning exhaust and need a ring job. Another issue that is hard to figure out is the ignitor can go bad and they run hot and can smell, also if the cylinder cooling fins under the shrouding get all full of dirt they can run hot and smell. In that case it will be fine until its fully warmed up.

Re: My G2 reeks, stinks after it heats up.
I was plagued with exhaust fume smell in my G29. I solved the problem by extending the exhaust pipe to exit outside of the body just in front of the rear tire. No more fumes.....
