Eton Viper 50 help
Hello folks,
I have a customers Eton Viper 50 at my place. Hadn't run in a while and wanted to have me go over and and get it back in action. Did a full carb rebuild, new plug and new battery. Fired right up, but smokes bad and hesitates from time to time while on the throttle. I noticed lots of oil dripping out of the tail pipe so I decided to investigate further. I ended up finding a broken oil pump cable. I'll be replacing the cable, but would this account for the smoke and oil from tail pipe? Thanks guys! |
That cable controls how much oil is being pumped to the carb, so the bike is going to be getting the wrong fuel/oil mix if the cable is broken. It will take a while to burn off all the oil already in the exhaust, so don't expect an instant reduction in smoke.

I had a Eton in and it had the exhaust screen plugged. Might want to clean that too.
