The rings are moly rings. I heard it don’t take long for them to seat. It’s not a lot of black smoke. It’s just whenever you rev it a decent amount comes out the back. More than I’d like. I can get around a carb good but fine tuning gets meGive it more run time to seat the rings?
is it a lot of black smoke? You may need to tune that carb up. You know carbs very well?
I haven’t had the issue before with this carb and I’ve had it for a bit. It might be rings needing to seat. The smoke might be more gray. Any idea of what my initial timing should be at? It’s a stick t5 I’m waiting to breakThere are a few carb tuning articles from car craft and hot rod, maybe holley has some too. Keep in mind that a carb is not the only part of 'tuning', also a vacuum secondary carb is a little more forgiving that a double pumper.
i should ask stick or automatic?
Any idea if it might be the rings not sealed yet also? Like a mix of running rich and rings?I would not be afraid to bump it to 12* or even 14*. I used a vacuum gauge to match timing to the highest vacuum reading, you will have to do some readjustment to the carb.
double pumper carbs work very well with stick cars but I found that a vacuum secondary carb works very well on the street and I prefer them.
You're such a millennial, the vacuum port of course!pull a plug and post a picture of it for me..
where do I plug my laptop into a carb???
Ain’t got a pic at the moment but it’s like dry black,pull a plug and post a picture of it for me..

I can’t remember the jet sizes. I think it was something stupid. Probably the problem but I don’t see how it did fine before with jus heads and a cam and now it’s got a full bottom end and it’s starting to act up lol. But I’m still hung up on them ringstoo much fuel, the porcelain will tell you what its doing at idle.. you want a light tan color with a slightly colored outer ring..
you likely need to back some out of the carb, what size jets you runnin?
It’ll be tomorrow but I post one as soon as possiblePull the plugs and get a picture when you can, all of them so we can see if its burning oil.
