The smoke is normal. The engines are 2 strokes. As to the water spraying, thats not too good. I'm not for certian here but the purple thing you may be referring to is the exhaust. If it's leaking like you say then you'll have a lot of the exhaust in that engine area. I've got a 96 speedster as well, but i haven't messed w/ the engine in a while. I store it at my parents and I live an hour away.

Sounds to me like you pretty much narrowed out everything but pull it.

they are different part numbers but they look identical. The guy is pretty close by so I might see if he minds if I look at it.

Any ideas if this one would work? Local place here said a new one is 100 or so.

Anybody know of a good place to get parts on the internet? I know they'll be cheaper that way. The local places say they need to look at it to tell what's wrong with it.
