my flathead is an 8BA, maybe 2000 miles on rebuild. Right from the beginning it turns the oil black.

The neighbor says this has to be to much fuel . Has a stock 94 on it.
bought this carb many many years ago . Rebuild from western auto, still in the box. Got a kit and rebuilt it. Car starts good and runs real well. Have pressure regulator set at 3 lbs.

Ready to get it out and start driving it. But hate to change the oil again 700 miles on it.

Thanks
