Black smoke usually means the car is running rich. Is the car using a lot of petrol?
Blue smoke means your rings are buggered. |

Haha my car ran rich is hell with the camira computer in there (obviously) but only on idle. Under load it flew pretty well.
Yeh, prolly just needs a service and a carby tune. The plugs will prolly be pretty fouled up too so make sure u get a new set and it should run sweet. |

yeah everyone's said it, give it a full service and tune (plugs, points, oil change, etc & tune that carby!) that will fix it.
if you know the basics or have a Gregory's Workshop Manual u chould do it yourself for about $60 or u could get it done proffessionally for $100+
cheers,
kev
