Hello everyone, after 12 months of diddling around and an ultra sonic injector clean, my 86 RT has fired into life, running smooth and sounding
great. Except for the white smoke. I had to completely fill the oil as was almost totally dry, and intend to drain and clean the sump next, but was a bit worried by the smoke and what happened to the new oil I put in. Seems to be turning white on the dipstick, which I guess is water coming from somewhere devious.
I'm thinking of draining and cleaning everything then refilling to see what happens, but should I be checking anything else as well ( please don't say water pump seal). I am not able to ride it yet, brakes and high beam to fix up. Also the red triangle light on the dash is constantly on, what does that mean? German for you bought a lemon I suspect.
Cheers.
