Have been working on my 83 Maxim 550 lately trying to get it rode worthy so I can sell it. Took it for a drive today and the motor got VERY hot. touched the oil cap and burnt my fingers. Also, Breather tube is blowing a little smoke and dripping oil (because motor is so hot). Whats my problem here? Has oil.

Is yor tube routing back into the crancase via the airbox?

If not you need to put an appropriate filete on it as the crankcase will suck dirty air.

Natural for it to smoke if it just dangling.
 
oh and dude all AC engines will be hot as hell ont eh filler cap.
 
Did you run it in the driveway without air flowing over the engine? Did you rejet the carbs to go along with the pod air filters?
 
Pod Filters have been on it since I have had it, and it has always ran fine before.
When idling when I first started it it idles fine. After I drove a few blocks when in nuetral idle would creep up and stay around 4000 rpms, and a few more blocks it was constant at 4000 rpms in nuetral. I was thinking this was the floats sticking, but from the sounds of it I could be wrong.

Floats sticking do not cause problems like that.
 
First off, how is the crankcase breather going to be SUCKING air?
Secondly, What language are you typing in???

How is anyone supposed to understand what you are typing??? :confused:

He was saying that the breather tube should either route back to the air filter or have its own little filter. It shouldnt be open to unfiltered air.
 
If it's running hotter than normal (and you say oil level is ok), maybe the oil pump ain't delivering oil to upper engine -plugged filter/bypass?
 
If your idle is running up to 4000rpm at idle and this behavior is new and there is nothing you have changed it sounds like you have developed a vacuum leak on the intake. Cracked o-ring or intake boot not sure about a yammie.
