ill beat that!!! $600 for my clubby. bolt on new box, good as new

If your clubbies engine has 4k worth of recepts then true. you beat me.... If it doesnt then 2km down the road the engine could start blowing smoke.....

A complete engine and box rebuild should last another 80,000M

I had my Clubby bow more than excess smoke I burnt out an entire cylinder. smoke everywhere and I drove it home for hours before i cud get it fixed and to bore the engine and everything a ffew things as well to it but cost just under $4K to do that wa for a 1275 though. bes t of luck

There really are a lot of things that could cause this , what colour is the smoke ? What fluid's if any are dropping (check oil and coolant) . As a very quick test leave the car idling and with a pair of insulated pliars pull a plug lead off at a time , if it runs a bit rougher each time then one cylinder shouldn't have a major problem alone , if pulling the lead off makes the motor sound rougher on all but one and the other one doesn't change the motor's sound then that one may have a problem . Beg/borrow/buy a compression tester and see what that tells you . How long since the motors been rebuilt ? Does it smoke all the time , only under acceleration , only on deceleration or coasting down hill ?
