[F500] 2 stroke oil

[Richard W Schmidt]

I agree, your oil pump must be out of adjustment or the cable is not letting
the oil pump control lever go shut.

The Kawasaki owners manual has very good detail on what the precise amount
should be for each of the lines. (I believe the crank fitting gets the
most).

Once your engine warms up, there should be no smoke out of it.

If you are interested, I can find the info in my manual. Contact me
directly.
