I'm currently breaking in my engine its running great apart from smoke coming from the clutch set smells like something burning is it to close to central diff or is they something to tight any help please

Did you spill any fuel or anything on the clutch bell? What kind of vehicle is this and how are you breaking it in? Any binding in the drivetrain? Discoloration of the clutch bell? Have you checked the bell/spur mesh for the tiny bit of play that is needed? Oh and welcome to the site!
