had a problem with the Avanti last weekend. started belching white smoke and wouldn't run without the choke. assumed it was the drive side seal so I've replaced the seal and put a new bearing in with the extra seal fitted. cleaned the carb and drained the tank and put fresh fuel in. bloody thing is still smoking like it has an eighty a day habit and still wont run without the choke. steel drive side bearing plate and quality seals from MRB. skf bearing, European made. no marks on the crank seal face so at the moment I'm stuck. any one got any advice?

pipe and/or crankcase may still be contaminated with gear oil
None of the above, been sorted! no doubt Paul will tell you. Choke was a bum steer though!
