[Star Guitar]

My 50 blows a little smoke after i wash it if it gets crap in the exhaust pipe.. and like a while ago i was ridin it and it like bogged down and blew a heap of smoke and then was fine again when it cleared out.

Is it doing it like all the time or a one off thing?

[mx#103]

yer a constant thing. i think the rings mite b shagged.

[eggy]

yeah the rings will be on thre way out so its burning oil does it use any oil .
probably needs a rebuild

I'm sure if you swung past your local shop the guys would be able to tell you exactly what the problem is...
Guessing does no one any good...

Rings are cheap , i saw rings for my 72cc ct70 on a US site today for $18US for the set.. Sometimes people get new piston aswell, $80-$100 i think , but not 100% sure.. there are kits and you can do it yourself.

Biggest thing is to mark the cam chain to the cam, Check the twobrothers website they have how to's that may help you decide if your up to the task.
