Oil Coming From Exhaust Can 06 Rev X

Could be oil build up from just starting to load and unload that never got burned out because it never got warmed up enough to burn the oil. Also if you had them in storage there could be some moisture condensation that may have mixed with the oil. As for the possible gas this could be due to stuck floats after long storage and no periodic starting. I'd say pull the carbs and bowls and clean them good inside and then start them and warm them up good and put them on a stand and run it long enough to burn the stuff out of the exhaust system. Should clear it up. Might want to put some Isopropyl in the gas tank also to take care of any condensation especially if the tanks were not stored full

Heavy smoke is a good sign that oil has bypassed through the oil pump and into the crankcase. this is normal sometimes after long storage. This will cause extreme smoke and oil coming out of the exhaust after first startup. It will burn out. Do what I said, warm it up and run it on a stand to burn it out, You should be fine. Your wifes probably didn't have oil bypass through the pump. I have a 670 Summit that does the same thing after long time with no start but my 2 800's don't

Well I put my sled on the stand today and ran it for a while. On the start up @ idle it smoked pretty heavy but seemed to clear up after a while. I did get a bunch more oil that came out the exhaust can when I reved the sled up. So after 15-20 minutes on the stand & at an idle I no longer have oil coming out my exhaust can and the smoke issue is way better. But when I rev the sled up to 5-6000 rpm I'm still getting plenty of smoke and a puddle of oil under the sled 4-6 inches in diameter. Seems to me that some how the sled is getting way more oil then it should be. Anybody know if this is an easy adjustment that I could do myself or do I need to make an appointment at my local dealer and bend over :face-icon-small-sho

I don't think your pump needs adjusting. You may have a stuck float or are leaving your choke on. If there is to much gas in the system it will wash out all the residue in the exhaust and it will look like oil. Pull your carbs(easy to do) and check your floats while the carbs are off check the seats on the choke cable at the carbs to make sure the seats are not tore. put it back together and start it on stand. Don't let it idle more than 5 minutes and then run it up to 4500 to 5000 with short throttle burst to 8000. Keep feeling the tunnel right behind the seat for heat, do not let it get to hot. warm to touch is good. The reason you do not want to idle a long time is it will add to the problem as you are not getting a good clean burn. All this should clean the system out good and you should be good to go, After you shut it off pull the plugs and check the tips they should be tan to a hot chocolate colored brown. If so you are good to go. If they are wet or wetish black you still have an issue and with out seeing the thing I don't know where to go next, But do not adjust the oil pump at this time, although while the carbs are off make sure your pump is cycling by hitting the throttle lever and watching the arm on the pump to see that it is moving back and forth.

Hope not but....

I was getting excessive oil in my exhaust and it ended up being a crank seal.

i bet the oil just seeped thru a seal from sitting for so long and had built up in the crank case.. it will take a bit to get it all blown out.. i would take a good ride for 1/2 hour and get it all good and warm.. then let it sit and see if it does it agin.. i would try this before i screwed with anythimg... but if it has been sitting for 2 years i would clean the carbs before i rode it.

Clean your carbs, pull the Y pipe and expansion pipe, spray some brake cleaner through the Y-pipe and expansion pipe to get the residual gook out, let it all dry, re-assemble and go ride it!. Don't just let it sit at idle as the pipe won't get hot enough to burn of 2 years of sitting residue while sitting on a stand, you need to clean the carbs and ride it:face-icon-small-win.
