Re: She doesnt like 5 yr old fuel

I'd say the smoke is because the engine has 'wet sumped' and the fuel pissing out the carb is the float needle is not seating Both easy fixes. Ron

I syphoned the fuel out of the tank replaced it with fresh fuel. Then I fixed the float needle- running now as if she had never been laid up!
