    hi, just got my zip back on the road after many months. i built the enigne back up using a new carb with a 62 jet in standard air box. It also has a tt exhaust. the problem is that when starting the bike it does take a few kicks and also there is alot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust and as you go to rev it bogs alot and sometimes cuts out. some help please.

    i was running it with oil then drained it because i thought that was the reason it was smoking but that seems not to be the case
