About a week and a half ago I posted that my '86 looked like a crop duster and our neighborhood looked like downtown Bagdad with this white smoke. It happened for two days in a row. Well, I parked the car for about a week and a half and drove my other car. I went out last night to start it, and have a laugh to drive my neighbors nuts. Guess what? NO SMOKE AT ALL!!

Today I drove it to work - NO SMOKE. I took it to Maria Motorsport here in Santa Barbara this afternoon. (Man, what cool race machines they have in there - plus they are great people) They adjusted my timing, removed and plugged the "cold wheather start" bottle. And decided "not to fix it if it isn't broken." I feel that I'll get to know them better in the near future, but the car runs like new. IT'S A MERICLE!!!!

Would appreciate any thoughts or input.

Thanks in advance.

 

could have been carbon buildup clearing out? make sure to premix!! and dont beat on it for a while .. get a compression test eventually and it will show you the engines age.. good luck.

 

IDx-

Thanks for the response. What is a premix?

 

Where are the experts out there?

Please give me some advice....

 

Premixing means adding oil to the fuel in the gas tank.
