Well I only noticed it driving at night in the headlights of the following car the exhaust seemd to be blowing a bit of grey stuff in the upper revs in 2nd and 3rd gear...had a mate tail me in daylight and he confirmed it.

I can rev it out of gear....nothing
but it seems that under load and high revs its blowing a steady stream of smoke.

Last time I checked there was a bit of crap on the 2nd and 3rd plugs...

Have been trying not to drive it too much as a result till i get some $ to get it looked at...but its breaking my heart to see it sitting there in the driveway.

Anyone got any preliminary diagnostics in the mildy hopefully positive? IE:not what im thinking it is...rings, impending doom and/or big $?

black smoke, its running rich
grey/white smoke, its running lean
blue smoke, its burning oil

pretty sure thats how it works

hmm that could be good news then?....I havent been losing any oil was the other thing i forgot to mention.
So its a carby problem?...AGAIN? man I think im over trying to get this 32/36 right...

Running lean doesn't cause smoke.

Grey/blueish white, that doesn't evaporate but blows away is oil burning. White/grey that evaporates/dissapates is water vapor.
