Hi Eric,
a thumper usually takes a long time to warm up. And you should be patient
to warm up the engine anyway to allow the oil to heat up and do its job right.
However, you should be able to take out the choke rather early, say after a few
minutes or miles. If you can't and the engine does not run smoothly there's
Probably something wrong with your carburator settings. If your header pipe turns
blue your mixture probably is too lean.
About the blueing: There's not much you can do about it. Just live with it.
KTRSD,
Alfred
