my local RV group is totally worthless ("I find the carnauba wax doesn't show fingerprints as much as the....")(except Mike!)  the on-field mechanics are sick of me coming by. 
 
LOL!  OK, here's my guess- do you possibly have a crack in one of your exhaust pipes, probably near the cylinder, or perhaps a bad gasket?  I've hear this story plenty of times on 2-smoke engines, but I would expect it to be worse on those due to the tuned exhaust.  Often times the crack is almost invisible, and pretty well sealed until the pipes really heat up, then it opens up enough to cause problems.  
 
Good luck,
Rusty (no need to wax 20 year old primer)
