    So after my last fiasco, or riding adventure on the little husky, I now have a major issue and need some help.

    The bike starts ok, and will run for a few minutes on idle, if I get on the throttle it will run until I reduce throttle and then the bike will stall. After this the bike will not start.

    Work done recently.

    Rebuilt water pump
    Drain oil - dark, not milky.
    Replace oil, filter, oil cover o-ring
    Pull clutch plates and springs. Springs under spec and replaced.
    New clutch cover gasket
    Drained coolant and replaced.
    Charged battery
    New spark plug
    Cleaned air filter

    Today - borrowed a timing light to test spark. Good light while idle and while throttle is open. The bike stalled as expected and this time released a bunch of thick white smoke from the intake. This bit is new and has me concerned.

    I have not tried to start the bike since the smoke, in fear of more damage to internal motor.

    Help is appreciated.

    4stroke 310r husqvarna redhead pile of fun.

    My Cannondale is a problem child also,my white smoke from the intake is due to a rich condition,which,for me means a throttle recal.I assume your husky is FI with a ECU?Maybe a throttle position sensor?Sorry know nothing about 4st huskys but like most modern 4 strokes it could be something stupidly simple that a dealer can find with a laptop. I even had a spun flywheel once,would not rev to save its life,chased that for hours!

    Could the white smoke be coolant? maybe a blown head gasket?
