04 zuma smokin out the intake

Post by Ruckenstein »

I scooped up an 04 2t zuma the other day and have come to a hault. I've never had a billow of smoke roll out of the carb intake. Carb is clean and tank is clean with fresh premix. The Autolube is hooked up for now until I verify the Autolube is working. I have done this with hondas but could this be the reason why my zuma isn't starting? I got spark and compression does not appear to be the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Plug seems to continually get wet.

Greetings:

Can't be much else besides reeds, but is it vapor or really Smoke?

If vapor, Graphie is correct. Fuel mix goes in, gets pushed back out through a gap in the reeds.
