Joe, I would have to say the smoke is gray. Looks like cigarette smoke. I adjusted the CO with the 3mm hex wrench and it did improve it. I turned left to lean about 1/4 of a turn and the smoke lessened from coming out 4ft from the muffler to about a foot(this make sense?) perhaps I have to get back in there and turn a little more? Thanks for the reply! -Danny 4160 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@...> wrote: > > What color smoke? > > Pick one: > > 1. white > 2. black > 3. blue > 4. gray > 4: chartreuse (just kidding) > > From the smell you're describing I'm guessing you are going to say black. > > -Joe Kuchan > > > >From: "Daniel" <dmcburn75@...> > >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >Subject: [DML] Help!
