Re: smoking pipes

That's called dieseling and it's caused by the engine being way too lean. The chamber is so hot that the excess explosive bits get heated enough to blow up again.

It's an issue that you really need to look into. If you have a carb that isn't fully sealed to the manifold, then that is most likely your problem. Too much air would be getting in causing the whole thing to run way too hot.
