hi guys a recently changed the crankshaft on my BR500 as the bearings where noisy and machine didn't sound great so I took it apart it works out for about an hour then it started to lose power then heard a band and smoke came out of the blower tube anyone got any ideas on the problem at all...

Is the engine now locked up?
Compression?
Your going to have to do some digging, back track what you did..

Carb wouldn't do what your engine did.
What's the compression, does it have spark?
Everything look ok under the valve cover?
