I have a 400 scrambler the temp light is coming on and white smoke is coming out of exhaust. I have replaced head gasket. It doesn't start puffing smoke until the temp light comes on? Please help !!! P.s. I can't find the manual anywhere (that helps alot )[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Maybe your running lean or you have a leak somewhere. Check the intake boot and maybe clean out your main jet.

 

did you change your oil after the head gasket swap? there might be some coolant in the oil.

That sounds about right. I'd check your coolant level, if it's low, I'd say you might be loosing coolant into the engine.

 

Silly guy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] the 400... she be's a two stroke, there's no oil in the engine.

anyway, i think it sounds like a to lean/rich problem. monkey around with the carb till that smoke settles down. Good luck!

oh yeah if you need a new head anytime, i'd recommend the Prodesign Coolhead, cause they use o-rings instead of a head gasket and you don't need to replace them every time you take the head off.
