Hunter

ok Thanks for all the input I will do a compression test and go from there, it seems to have good compression when I pull on the pull start rope as it has a lot of resistance and is very hard to pull, but thank you for all the advice and I will do a compression test to make sure I will let you know what I find, Have a Great day.

I have a 1997 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it has a bad smoking problem the smoke on start up is a blue color and after it runs a while the smoke turns kind of blueish gray could this be the rings, the valves or something else, please help with any advice, P.S. there is also a little oil blowing out of the exhaust please help thanks.

lol didnt really steal this Kodiak but for $400 I paid for it seems like a steal
