My Monster is very smoky and although it has plenty of compression and still runs well I know it's got a bore wear problem (recently replated bores failing) and so I'm planning to fix it over the winter.

But I inherited a lawnmower from my Dad which had been stood for some time and it was hugely smoky and ran very poorly with little compression. I suspected stuck rings and so filled the cylinder with various cocktails; diesel, 2-stroke oil, WD-40 etc. and after a couple of days it was fine and now runs like a champ.

N.B if you do anything like this, don't forget to change the oil when you're done.
