I don't know what is going on, but I changed the oil for the first time on my 86 Savage, (6000 miles) and I think my father may have put too much oil in... It accepted three quarts, but we let a little leak out to encourage cleanliness. Well, I started up the bike, and it was shaking quite considerably... and then I attempted to ride it around the block, got half way, and the thing just stalled and the biggest cloud of smoke came from SOME WHERE, stunk like crap.... and oil was leaking out of every which way coming out of the cylinder. All I know now is it will turn over but will not start.... Pretty new bike, find it hard to believe that it's even possible to blow the engine... Any ideas... I'm bike dumb... give me some help... thanks
