How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Operate in a ventilated area and avoid prolonged exposure to exhaust.
- Check oil level: Ensure oil is not overfilled. Drain excess oil to the correct level.
- Inspect breather: Locate the crankcase breather and ensure it is not blocked. Clean or replace as needed.
- Monitor consumption: Track oil usage over several run hours. If consumption is high and blue smoke persists, internal wear is likely.
- Plan overhaul: Worn rings or valve seals require engine disassembly and replacement of components.
