Sweet, good work getting it figured out! Yep, gotta jet it based off what it tells ya....#'s mean nothing.I'm amazed at how much a difference that 1 inch on the pipe made in the jetting.

spooge is normal, if it wasn't there your bike would die. never aim for less spooge, aim for a good looking spark plug

spooge is normal, yes. However a LOT more than before isn't.moto_psycho wrote:spooge is normal, if it wasn't there your bike would die.
It wasn't there before, and my bike didn't die...(it was jetted properly maybe a tad rich but close enough)
Aim for a good looking spark plug, absolutely right.

Any change in fuel? I notice as stations are dumping in more ethanol, spooge and nastiness increases.
grumble.

if you want less spooge, run the most expensive fully synthetic 2-stroke at 100:1 and enjoy, or read information from the top 2-stroke tuners who found greater power at 20:1 mineral oil than 50:1 synthetic due to better lubricity (most synthetics are filled with detergents to kill spooge)

Two strokes spooge. There is no debate on that. It is just a matter of how much you will tolerate. Since I value longevity over cleanliness, I favor a rich oil mixture. When my wife brushes by my bike's exhaust, as she is trying to find something in the garage, I pay the price. 
The grayish stuff in your pictures would cause me some concern, though, as that probably indicates that some water got in there somehow....

spooge is ok to an extent I agree, that's part of riding a 2 strokes, but when it starts dripping on your brakes...not good.
In my case this increased spooge made me re-evaluate my carb setting;. I'm convinced the unusual amount I got was because I was way too rich. I'll see how it goes in the next few rides and when I try a 38 pilot when it gets warm as the 40 was borderline rich on my last ride (it was 75 that day)
The 40 will work well I'm sure for the winter and early spring between 30 and 50.

I've run up to 20:1 in high-rpm riding with a bone-dry silencer core. It's in the JETTING.if you want less spooge, run the most expensive fully synthetic 2-stroke at 100:1 and enjoy, or read information from the top 2-stroke tuners who found greater power at 20:1 mineral oil than 50:1 synthetic due to better lubricity (most synthetics are filled with detergents to kill spooge)

Runs great.
I run 40:1 for woods work, and am less anal about jetting than I used to be. Putting a 36mm on soon so I'll have to get that thing worked out.
Juliend is right though...The e10+ gas seems to spoo some no matter how tight you get the mixture. The 20:1/dry comment above was with C12.
