usually you cant get good smoke from 2 stroke engines.

it has to do with the fact that there isnt enough time in between the exhaust and intake strokes and another exhaust stroke for the smoke fluid to hit the muffler and heat up to its flash point where it smokes. smoke systems are usually reserved for four strokes or gasoline engines

I was wondering that myself when I read his/her post. I am running this same engine in my Yak 54 and it already runs extremely rich and does not produce much smoke from the oil in the fuel.

I only plan to run smoke in my 100cc and 150cc gassers...but that is just me.

Have fun!
