Default Brown smoke?
I know, blue smoke is oil, black smoke is too rich and white smoke is coolant. What does brown smoke mean? Detonation?

Well, I never thought of that. I guess it could've just been rust and crap from inside the mufflers. This was the first time I ran it hard since last year.

Yep, I like that one.

Its what we always called " carburetor dust", that instant burst of partially burnt fuel that comes when the accelerator is nailed.
