bought a 84 honda 200m for super cheap but it has a problem that i cant figure out.
it starts right away, but theres alot of whitish smoke in the exhaust and the idleing is eratic! very fast idle even with the idle screw backed all the way out, if left running for a minute it will slow down a bit but then when you rev it up it stays reving high again.... you can hear some sputters and it does stall aswell.
the plug does look a bit wet and there is black carbon built up on the tip.
im thinking it is getting air somewhere.. would a bad crank seal cause this problem? and if so, can they be changed without splitting the engine?
thanks for any advice.
