    Tune-up

    I was trying to tune my PMO carburetors this morning and I started blowing a lot of blue smoke of the tailpipe. At idle no smoke at higher RPMs lots of smoke. Any ideas / suggestions ?

    Have you recently added oil? Sounds like there is too much and it is being drawn through the breather line into the intake.

    Oh wait, breather lines were disconnected while I was adjusting the carburetors.

    Max, you hit the nail right on the head. after I got the PMO carburetors dialed in and the car nice and warmed up, my oil gauge pegged out, I pulled the dipstick the oil level is an inch above the high mark. Thank you so much for helping me with that. I'm really happy that it's not something serious.
