I have recently bought a 730D wide front with pony. After replacing the burned up wiring from a pinched wire the previous owner left me, the motor fired right up and ran great. Everyone always refers to the smoke of a running pony as " doesn't smoke any worse than any other one" Well this one certainly does smoke! Worse than that, it leaks motor oil out all the exhaust connection all over the other motor. Even worse, I let the motor run at full speed to warm up for a oil change and it blew all it's oil out from somewhere around the little engine, and all the exhaust connections. By the time I pulled the drain plug, not one drop came out!!! Here's the questions part:
1) how much smoke is alot. It turns the barn blue.
2) how can it run so well if rings are that bad?
3) are there seals that can be changed at exhaust connection to reduce leakage?
4) Is there a blocked crankcase breather somewhere causing backpressure to blow oil out?
5) what is the decent cranking compression
I would appreciate any help and advice from someone who has been around these for a little while.
