I made a video in order to compare the sound of my '71 MG Midget with straight pipes and with a Harley muffler. What I saw bothered me more than what I heard.....
The car has good compression - I don't remember exactly what as, but it was pretty high in all cylinders and all about the same. I put a vacuum gauge on it this morning - at idle it was about 18 inches of mercury or whatever it's called - steady needle at all speeds. It had been idling a LOT before this was taken - I timed the car and adjusted the idle speed. I have not changed the fuel mixture screw though.
But I don't like the look of this smoke. I never noticed it while driving the car.
