die when throttle

[ntw1986]

Basically just suddenly started happening. It idles ok but soon as u put foot on throttle the revs go down and it stalls. I managed to feather the throttle and drive it home with it stalling berween gear changes . Any ideas?

Ok so cleaned oil out of airbox and checked it seems to run ok now but loads white smoke from exhaust but it's not overheating any idea?

Why was there oil in your airbox lol?

White smoke indicates burning oil.

[ntw1986]

Not so much in the air box as in the bit where the breather joins and that little metal holey thing was Ely dirty so i cleaned that

[ntw1986]

Also thought blue smoke was oil burning

White/Gray Smoke: White exhaust smoke is an indication that coolant is burning in the combustion chamber. These are possible causes:

Cylinder Head: A crack in the cylinder head (around the coolant jacket) will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber.

Engine Block: A crack in the deck of an engine block near the coolant jacket will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber.

Head Gasket: A damaged or blown head gasket will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber resulting in white/gray smoke coming from the tailpipe.

Just that my mate had oil leaking into the manifold.. and that was very white smoke..

It doesnt smoke straight away it starts afyer couple mins and then gets worse
