my blaxland twin starts first go runs without missing a beat yet smokes like a steamer and the plugs end up sooty at the end of the day. it appears to be running way to rich but any adjustment to the needle setting cause all sorts of problems. any ideas? |

Ross, Yes... Looks like too much Oil... Modern Oils do not fully burn as did the old Mono Grade oils of yester-year. Most of us run Blaxlands at 40:1 and we even have a couple in our group who run at 50:1 with no problems. I run my 3 HP Hall at 40:1 with a nice straw coloured Spark Plug.
It could also be as simple as the Float level too high in the Carby as well.
There is quite a discussion on this Board in the files section regarding various Oils and problems. Do a search.
Where are you located as I may be able to point you to someone who may have a look and guide you though the problem.
Lets know how you go,
Cheers, Dave

sounds like it could be the oil, it would explain all the smoke. I am down at Jervis Bay |
