sure it was smoke?
aerostart + crud could be the culprit. start the bugger again... might find it don't 'smoke' anymore :thumb

I'd pull the carbs and give them a good clean out, old fuel leaves a build up of varnish and a jelly like stuff, it could be making the needle
and seat stick a little, flooding the bowl.

Hope your not using 3-4 year old petrol? As apparently petrol these days only has a shelf life of a couple of weeks before it starts going all wrong.
Not like the good old days of leaded petrol. The newer cancer causing (there safer though) petrols just aren't the same.
I am going to have to come around to your house one day soon and check out these cars.

the carbs were off my other engine....they also had not been used in a few years and they were wrapped up..they got a bit of a clean befor we used
them.
the petrol in it was about 2-3 weeks old.
i'll give her another kick this weekend and see how she goes..could just be a bit of crap with aerostart..if not i hope it doesn't catch
fire.
jason..good idea. i've been meaning to check out thoise spotties too...i'll get there this week
