sounds kinda silly but just started the spree and it is smoking excessively from the muffler. it is white smoke so does that mean it is too rich? i am not sure what to adjust. can someone help?!

Yep that means your running too rich, just open up your air screw a little, half a turn open. Your air screw is the seconds screw down on your carb, accessable through the little hole on the bottom half of the left side of the bike.

Let it warm up completely before adjusting carb. It's supposed to run rich when cold.
