Hello<br /><br />I've got an Suzuki DT5 (2-Stroke 5hp) from around 1985. The serial number is: 0501 334964. <br /><br />The problem is probably the timing. The enging runs, on both cylinders, but not good. There is coming a lot of, almost white, smoke from it when running. It can not be too much oil, because I've tried to lower the ratio all the way down to <br />1/75, but the smoke is still coming. <br /><br />The ignition is good, and its easy to start the engine. Its even easy to start it with only one cylinder (taking off one of the sparking plugs).<br /><br />My guess there is something wrong with the timing, that all the fuel does not have the time to burn and therefore leaves the engine as smoke. Probably the ignition is too late. <br />But how do i fix this? I did not get a manual with the engine when i bought and does not know how to fix it. <br /><br />Any help is greatly appreciated!
