- Hmmmm, a bit more work on my float bowl overflow problem tonight. Looked to see if the float levels needed adjustment. Both were within the 1/8"-3/16" clearance suggested by Haynes. Don't know how I'

- Hi Phillip, I'll throw in my two cents here: If it's backfiring out of the carbs (as opposed to out of the exhaust), it'll always look white, because it's fuel mist being spit out there. Backfiring t
