    Hey Mike. thanks for all of your videos! Question: my honda elite 150 has white smoke coming out from under the seat area NOT the exhaust pipe (google advice only talks about exhaust pipe). The engine gets very hot after about 10 minutes of riding and a little smoke comes out. Any ideas what I should look at first? Has new spark plug, transmission fluid and oil. Just don't know what to focus on. thanks!

    • @MikeTheFixer

    A suggestion maybe do another pass with the hone until you get a nice 45 degree crosshatch and using slightly thicker oil/fluid. I'm thinking of honing my sbc 350 at home as well. Good luck with your rebuild.
