Every couple months is the norm on carb oil.
But if you over fill them, they will seek there own level.
The level should be just below the hole in the piston. If you over fill
it the oil will squirt out thru the vent hole in the cap.
As long as there is a "schlurping" sound when you pull out the dashpot
stick, it's OK. Too much oil just messes uo the bonnet when it squirts
out which happens when the pistons rise in the carbs.

Probably a red 62 with lots of "period" accessories and the 15 year old
girl's name was Ann Marinos no doubt. (George's daughter)
It's a good thing I did not go to this meet today as my alternator
decided to eat it's front bearing about 5 miles from home.
I am glad it happened today and not Tuesday when I leave for the
midwest.
