PICKED UP A 2009 m8 SNOPRO from a friend who does NOT beat up his sleds. Even before I bought it, whenever we met up during a ride, I noticed his sled idled rough and seem to smoke more than the other sleds. I assumed it was just a little bug needing a quick fix. Well we all know what "assume" stands for don't we.
Since I bought the sled, I've used only AC oil, replaced the reeds and set the oil pump to spec. It still has a rough idle, plugs are really carboned up and belly pan shows major black transfer at the exhaust. The engine just doesn't have that 2 stroke ring to it (if you know what I mean).I'm now thinking of pinching off the oil line and trying a premix in the tank but I'm not sure if that will damage the engine.
Your thoughts pls..
