As far as the smoke at startup, what color is it and what does it smell like? If it's white and smells sweet, could be coolant and that is a no go. Otherwise, it's prolly a bit of fuel, which is common.
Dave, are you sure about the MMO? Chris at RP told me the stuff is a *cleaner,* not a lubricant, and did not recommend it.
