Hi,
And I'm amazed the EPA didn't make them control/capture all that unburned fuel.
All that blueish white smoke is oil fumes. The original 211-22B had their "Labyrinth" oil seals made using IP bleed air. I'm afraid to say some were very smoky on start up (they were not really two stroke) but once IP air was available they stopped burning engine oil.
