A heavy oily oder, too rich. Kinda' like steam up your nose, spot on. I haven't tuned up my GZer yet, but the same should hold true… Oh, and if you do try this method, don't go riding straight away
And one day you will cross a threshold where you just drop unconcious next to a running engine. The results could be fatal, please stop doing that.
