start by getting that 32:1 out of the fuel tank . it is getting oil from the fuel tank and the oil tank. way too much.

Yes.

Great job! 2 smokers forever:) Keep up the great work.

I see a lot of people saying that the crank seals are bad because of all the smoke but that's not the case. The oil pumps on these use check balls in the oil lines that are suppose to stop the oil tank from gravity feeding into the bottom end. The check balls and springs get gummed up and the 2 stroke oil fills the bottom end. That's why you have a puddle of oil coming out the weep holes in the exhausts. If it sits for a long time you need to pull the 3 plug bolts(12mm) out of the front of the engine (bottom end of the case below where each exhaust mounts) and let it drain. My gt380 is about to be 50 years old and it's never had the seals replaced, still runs like new. Some people have also mentioned you should plug the oil pump and run premix, DO NOT DO THIS, this can't be done on any of Suzuki GT's because the seals will not let the premix reach the main bearings and you will fry them. The oil pumps on the Suzuki's are very reliable and you wont have any issues using it. If you got any questions let me know.

Thanks for the great advice man!

Heh the smoke rings from the pipes are cool

love seeing this bike, it's so ... weird and that's why you gotta love it

Great bikes had a few of these , slowly finding parts to make another , later aluminium frame ,usd,discs modern rubber

G'day from Australia. Yes a drip every few seconds is spot on. That's what they do. Tip: clean the oild from your driveway and make sure none ZERO-NADA on yoll tyres amigo !!!!

Sounds great. I had the 550 with micron exhausts and it was such a great bike. But not on 4.30 am startrs for work...

pipes are full of spoo run it and they will clean out runs too well to be crank seals

I been watching your channel for years now, it's great to see how far your knowledge and skill has progressed. Keep up the great entertaining content mason.😊

Exhaust note is amazing❤❤

Ain't noting like that smell of 2 stroke!

In the morning.

Could be old gas and oil collected in the pipes burning and leaking out. Pipes may need a good douching. Could also do a leak down test to see if the crank seals are toast. Love the sound of it. I would have put Blendzall in it though lol...

That motorcycle sounds awesome. Bravo!

Cranks seals are notorious for failing on these old smoker triples. Replacing them is no small task, but good luck!

The first start in ages is always gona be a smoky affair.. they smoke a lot from.cold starts anyway... maybe the exhaust has loads of.oil in it still... it may be crank seals but it could be a few basic things too so don't necessarily dive into the engine with your spanners straight away...

Maybe the gearbox oil leaked into the crankcase(s). If any crank seals are shot, the idle speed, even for a two stroke, will be too high and very erratic. Ignition timing accuracy is critical on these or it's hole in piston time. The 32:1 was good insurance as the oil feed was an unknown. Good resurrection.

I'd put new crank seals in it minimum. Very important to have a good seal on two smokers. Or at least leak down test it

trying syncing the carbs and see if thats a possible fix. Since too lean of a gas mix can cause more oil burning by the compression pulling tit from anywhere. Thats also how gas bikes are. A too lean of a mixture will cause some smoke because its pulling oil from the crankcase to run.

Most likely smoking from oil collected in the crankcase. The oil injection check valves tend to let oil past after years of sitting and it fills the crank with oil

I once had a GT550A. Half a US gallon is good for around 8 or 9 miles of range.

Use either pre mix or the oil injection. Not both.

lose the cargo pants man. Good channel though, realistic and fun.

What is that huge weld on the case? Nice work men!!!

It was like that when I got the bike, I'm guessing the cover was cracked and they welded it up to repair it. It doesn't leak anything so it must be a good repair!

Why did you put 2 stroke petrol in the tank?

In case the oil injection wasn't working and to add extra lubricant on first start up which was a wise move as the pump wasn't working.

Good thinking, I’ll remember that when I get to starting mine for the first time. 👍

U only need straight fuel.

This bike can blow O's!!!

That baby is spittin engine oil. It's why it was dry, is my guess. It's also partially burning that engine oil, is where all the smoke comes from. Crank seals are toast 100%. Please don't ride it as it is. Could also be the seals are not completely gone, but oil just slowly seeped through into the crank. Now it's spitting it out. Either way engine needs a splitting!

Gearbox oil level, has a screw to remove some ware around kick starter shaft, when the oil runs out the screw hole the level is correct. I agree , check crank seals

I just mix in the fuel, ensures right amount and makes sure the engine doesn't seize because the oil pump stops working.

Crank seals are gone.

how dare you
