Thats sounds right, I would also clean the carb up too and check the reeds for cracks since you will have the jug off anyway. Is this something that just started or was it brought on by changing components or anything? But I bet a fresh hone, new rings and piston will solve it.

Back when I raced motocross I had to do a top end after every race or I lost considerable amounts of power!

good call...But then he would be fouling plugs. Are you fouling plugs too? The ratio for this bike is 32:1.

Just depends on what type of 2 stroke oil you use. Some say mix at 50.1 Others you can mix at any ratio.

Don't know if it's water cooler or not but if it is what about a blown head gasket? I know on Honda's when a crank seal goes it will let tranny oil in the crankcase and it will smoke more than normal.
