I have an '06 S.E. 660 last week shi found quick sand. Now it smokes terribly and the oil is cut w/t gas. I flushed crank case w/t new oil several times still no improvement. guess its time for an upgrade. Know of any good links? I have three S.E. rhinos two of them have always smoked a little. there jetted w/t exhaust and cdi mods.

i know this may sound odd but what i did to stop mine from smoking after a creek found it (by the way, rhinos dont float lol) is an old motorcycle trick called a 4 or5 qt oil flush. i drained the old oil and pur in 5qts. warmed up the engine and with it running spun off the old filter untill no oil came out, killed the engine and bumped it back over about 5 times but killed it after 2 or 3 seconds to empty the oil pump. drained the case the rest of the way. plugged it back up and spun on a new filter, filled it up to what the book calls for and she hasnt smoked since. except what had to burn off the engine, from what didnt wash off afterwards. it is very messy but stopped mine from smoking immediately and that was 6 months ago.
