Hey guys,

I just bought a 1981 honda cb750 about two weeks ago. I had a gas issue and used dry gas to get some of the water out of the system, then I ran out of gas and probably gunked up my carbs a little. This seemed to work, however now I am getting large amounts of white smoke out of the left two exhaust pipes...Is this because the carb bowls need to be cleaned? is this normal? (sorry motorcycle novie)

Problem #2:  It appears that I may be leaking a small amount of oil right but the clutch/bottom of the engine nearest to the exhaust. is this serious/could this be related to my exhaust problem? When my bike gets warmed up it burns off this little bit of oil that drips onto the exhaust. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance
