Piston ring replacement

[FastWoman]

Assuming your plugs look black (with carbon) and not oily, then it's a fuel issue, not an oil issue. If you were leaking/burning that much oil, your plugs would probably be oily.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The Etc. was referring to a high capacity oil pump, new fuel pump, new hoses etc.

I have done a lift test on the carb piston; it falls smooth and at what seems to be a reasonable pace.

I will smell the oil shortly thanks for the suggestion.

I put some Marvel Mystery oil in last night and took out for a hard drive. I discovered something that may help determine the issue. On hard acceleration, pedal to the floor very aggressive acceralation the car began to sputter, backfire from the exhaust, and generally run like crap.

Ease off the pedal, give it a second or two and it stops and you can accelerate at a non-aggressive level and the car is fine. This happens over and over with the pedal to the floor acceralation.

I hope this issue is the cause of the smoke as well.

Anybody know what this is.... I guess this problem is either fuel or electrical but not mechanical such as worn rings are.

Anyone???

Thanks

Can be wrong oil in the dome

Rich mixture, reset your carbs. That involves checking for sticking nozzles, setting float level and doing the idle and syncing procedures.
