my runner makes a funny smell at high revs

If i ever take my runner up past about 3400 RPM's which is extremly rare it makes a funny smell


i sware it smells like oil but this thing doesnt burn a drop?

Nothing leaks on this thing and it doesnt consume any fluids..

what the heck is it?

Maybe, at the higher RPM's, you're running richer and your O2 sensor is having to work a little harder and that's what you're smelling.

I'll second the "DEFINTLY" part on the O2 and PCV... Damn 89, you've got some serious mileage on those.
