I worked on my flooded carb this weekend but couldn't find anything wrong with it; choke is working fine and I'm pretty confident the rest of is is adjusted right so I will check the fuel pump next.
However, I am now concerned about my engine's ability to produce blue smoke. I found that if I let it idle for about 5 minutes after its warmed up and then suddenly increase the RPMs it makes a lot of blue smoke. For the smog test they do an idle test and then sudden increase to 2500 RPM and I get the smoke every time. I know I'm burning oil, but what does it sound like the problem is? Worn rings, worn valve guides, or other? It doesn't smoke driving down the road normally, only after a period of idle.
