Regarding the engine. You are running a 2-cycle engine, where the oil is mixed in the
fuel. No matter what the fuel mixture setting is, you will get oil spray out of the
exhaust.
Yeah, I know the oil gets burned along with the fuel, I have a Yamaha Wave Blaster with a slightly bigger 2 stroke :-)

I guess my main question is that the engine is running TOO rich and TOO cold, because not much smoke comes out at all. It just drips loads of liquid oil and splatters it all over the place. Whereas every other 2 stroke engine I've ever seen has lots of smoke from *burning* the oil, mine doesn't seem burn it, I'm presuming because my combustion temperatures are not hot enough to burn the oil. Therefore it is still green liquid when it comes out, as opposed to smoke.
