At first i had white smoke, but now it is burning lots of blue smoke, is this from changing the idle mixture screw? i have changed it back to stock and the blue smoke still comes.
how do i fix this?
is it normal?
why has it developed?

well when i was running outboard oil by accident i had some prety blue smoke. that was cuz the injector didnt lubrecate it beces the oil was too thick.

Its strange because there was no blue smoke until i mucked around with the idle mixture, now if i have it at one extreme or the other it doesnt matter its still the same amount of smoke. so i've put it back to stock, my oil is blue and it looks fine, i guess i could replace it but whats the point if its not the oil.

Blue smoke is usually caused by bad oil.
