Hello, Looking for some good advice! I have 2 2004-2005 eton viper 90's. They smoke a lot when started and continue for 5-10 minutes (one more than the other). I do mean a lot of smoke for this little machine. Once they get going they become normal smokers. I have thought this was due to the fact that the oil drips into the carb from the oil injection when they sit for a while. When I start it up it smokes until all that excess oil is gone and then they are normal. During a rebuild of my carb last week I dropped the bowl and the whole thing was full of oil with a splash of gas. Since they lean out when they are running I assume the carb is adjusted correctly. My next inclination is remove the auto oil injection and go premix. The things run nice I would just like to lighten up the smoke a bit. What is the best way to remove oil injection and will I have to re-jet? Does re-jet mean just order another jet to screw into the bottom of the carb when the bowl is off and that is it? What size jet would I need. Thanks

I have one also and it runs fine, but did smoke excessively at one point to where it would start hard and smoke to the point of running rough. I thought I had injector probems, took it to my mechanic who immediately took the spark arrestor out of the tailpipe. one screw and a pair of needlenose pliers--problem solved.. it runs like fantastic ever since and probably has over 600 miles on it. My issue right noe is that I keep blowing the main fuse, I think at certain times when my son shifts it. I need to check cnnections etc.

Hi Jayman99, Sorry for the late reply I had a road trip to Bristol. I have the spark arrestor out of one of the eton's. The other eton with the issue does not have a screw or a way to remove the spark arrestor. I bought them both new at the same time but I think one is an 05 and the other without the screw is an 04. In the meantime I have ordered a single pull throttle cable and an oil block off plate so that I can get rid of the oil injection. I always thought it ran too rich and now with the excessive smoke I think the unit might be malfunctioning and instead of fixing it I would prefer to remove it from the equation. I have been getting pretty brave with some of my recent undertakings as an atv mechanic but it does offer a great deal of satisfaction when I manage to do something right!

Hey WAMPLER, What ratio do you use on the AMSOIL? I successfully removed the oil injection on the ETON and went with a cheap 32:1 Spectra Blue oil mix. I have heard AMSOIL is superior. They have a Saber Professional at 100:1 and the Dominator 50:1. I would think 100:1 would be best to reduce smoke but I want to make sure the engine is protected. Thanks
