the only thing that would kind of make sense is if your still running on the gas that the first guy put in and he was running 2cycle that smells really bad

Sta Ima08 06-02-06 04:56 PM

did someone play a prank on you and shove fish in your mufflers?

vipers 06-02-06 05:01 PM

well, if its more of a rotten egg smell, then your catalytic converters are going out! they let off this foul odor when they need 2 be replaced

Sta Ima08 06-02-06 05:01 PM

ok now that you've owned up to being a noob, look over the FAQ in the 2nd gen, there is also a search feature next to the FAQ that you can use for specific problems. :icon_tup:

Perhaps you are new to words altogether? Lean and rich are common used termonology by anything that combusts. Lean = too little gas, as in you are leaning the engine out...and rich = too much gas, as in you are teh overflowing with gas!
