Re: smokey joe?

Sounds like your oil injection pump is not calibrated correctly. Pumping more than the 50:1 ratio as recomended.<br /><br />Which is certianly better than not pumping enough. It should inject one pint of oil for every six gallons of fuel it uses.<br /><br />Your OEM service manual will explain how to calibrate the pump.<br /><br />Engine could also be running to cold. With properly operating thremostats it should run about 150 degeres. But they may be stuck open, which is not unusual.<br /><br />Mite wana pullem and take a gander.<br /><br />Good luck!
