Engine start up question
50% of the time when I turn the key the engine fires right up. The other 50% it turns over 2-3 seconds before it fires. When this happens I also get some smoke just for that second or two after the engine starts. As far as I can tell that's the only time it smokes. It sorta acts as if it's slightly flooded.
I'm wondering if it could have something to do with the air/fuel mixture on the carb.
Any suggestions?

mine does the same thing, there are 2 small soldered fuel fittings under the carb, assuming you are still running the Rochester. they will dribble fuel if not resealed after sitting, when you fire it up yes it is rich and smokes.
