Unless my eyes deceive me, I'm seeing black smoke, not blue, but I can see my oil going down on the dip stick. My HS6 Carbs have new floats, needles and seats, and the carb pistons rise and fall smoothly. The Needles are the standard ones, .095 at the upper limit of the taper. Carb mixture seems correct, but on take off it misses, then goes fine.
I don't like thinking this way, but when I rebuilt the engine in the fall of last year did I fail to seat the rings? I ran it they way recommended, as I recall. ZDDP in the oil, 2500 rpms for 25 minutes, something like that. Then I dumped the oil and reloaded. But as I posted last week, my oil was shockingly low after three weeks of not checking it.
Could the missing be something else? I think the timing is fine. My distributor is a Flame Thrower Pertronix.
I'm beginning to think the smoke is oil, not rich carb mixture. Can the missing be related to either my coil or Pertronix Distributor?
Any other ideas or encouragement out there? Things I can check?
