Is it an 01? Pull the choke cable and clean it up. Might be sticking.

 

the smoke clears up after it warms up, it is more noticible when it is idling. It will not idle for more than a minute or so. I pulled the choke out of the carb and found it was stuck open. I cleaned it up and the problem was still there.

 

It is a 2001

 

Check the intake boots for cracks outside and inside. Check the float levels. Make sure the flotas aren't sticking. Change the plug just because. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Sounds like you've been checking all the obvious stuff already. Good Luck.

 

I hate to suggest this, but it worked for a friend on his Warrior. Purchase some race fuel 110-114 octane and run it through the engine. There is a good possablity that it will clear up. It shouldn't harm your motor. Unless you are running very lean already

 

So your eliminating the filter? I'm sure you've cleaned the filter. Any obstruction in the tubes from the filter to the carbs?

 

Thanks, i will check that stuff.

 

yes, the filter is clean and the tubes are clear
