Would it be the oil rings that bad only or anybody have any other ideas. The engine runs good but smokes.Just picked this thing up. [Reply]   [No Email]

COULD be oil rings COULD be valve guides.. etc. and yeah.. an oily cyl likely DOES have good compression due to oil sealing the rings. same as a wet comp test.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Is it possible your carb is too rich? Take a look at your plugs. If you are burning oil, there should be deposits on plugs instead of a clean gray look. Had a 70 dodge spirit with bad exhaust valve guides. It was a problem with the 3.0L engine design. It would produce a smoke screen. So as mentioned, it could be a valve guide problem. If it's exhaust guide, the plugs will not show it's burning oil, because the oil only gets into the hot exhaust gasses. I have a 20 hp kohler engine. Had to go with the next hotter plug to keep carbon off plug. Engine doesn't use a drop of oil in 75 hours. After that it starts using oil. Time to change oil. It too will give off a puff of smoke when I choke it. Keep looking, you will find the problem. George   [Reply]  [No Email]

One of the adjustments is backwards, meaning the more you screw it outwards, the leaner it gets. Again, I can't remember. Look at your manual. There are many here who don't suffer from CRS like me. They can give you better info about carb adjust on the Naa. I know for a fact, my IH C has only one adjustment, someone screwed it all the way in and the fuel mix was way too rich.

Check the oil in the air filter before doing anything else. Dean   [Reply]  [No Email]
