Got my SRX out and running the other day after doing the cut and lift mod, and let it sit and idle for awhile and noticed it was spewing oil(perhaps even a mixture of gas and oil) out of the tailpipe, enough to leave a patch on the driveway. Now, I should mention that I did foul a plug or two when I had the sled out the day before, as I had the carb heaters on and this sled really likes to foul them with these heaters on. I should also mention that I did have the carbs off to clean them earlier this year and when I disconnected the choke cable I didn't mark where the setting was so I just guessed when I reinstalled it. Is it possible that I had the choke too tight so it was on the whole time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Might also be worth noting that the sled is smoking a lot more from the silencer than it had in the past. I wasn't sure if that was from what was left of the old gas with Stabil in it or what. I did notice that it was kinda doggy when I was riding it around, but there isn't enough snow here to really get out and put any real miles on it.

You should probably adjust the choke cable to spec, I believe you want ~1-2mm of cable free.

You need to give her a good long run to clean her out.
Adjusted the choke cable and will get her out on the almost snowless lake later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the help. I figured it was something pretty minor.
