Fresh build video, my first rotary. Is this smoke normal?
I'm 99% sure this is normal for a fresh engine build, but this being my first rotary I wanted to run it by you guys for verification. Car has idled for 1.5 hours at 1100 rpm's, I will be changing oil/filter and continuing the break in this week.

Every new rebuild I've had the car will smoke until the oil rings seat. I've idled it in the driveway for 1.5 hours total and it still smoked. Your smoking is about normal assuming you're premixing 1oz 2stroke/gallon like I'd bet you are.
You need to drive it and put a load on the engine then the smoke will go away. It'll take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours of driving. Also clean your plugs and using a HOT plug heat range will help keep the plugs clean so it'll burn the oil in the combustion chamber instead of spitting it into the header where it'll sit and smolder. I use NGK 7 heat range for this.
