Oil & Tons of smoke coming out exhaust '72 TS185
First off, let me say that I'm an idiot.
I got my junkyard '72 TS185 up and running then it sat for about 6 months (still need mirrors, rear light, etc..). Anyway, I had to move to a different state and went to show it off to a friend who was helping me move. The damn thing wouldn't start. It took a while to get it running the first time it turned over so I kept at it. I couldn't see any gas with the cap off but when I shook the tank, I heard some sloshing around but the thing never ran. Anyway, I started messing around with it a few days ago and it still wouldn't start. I had just rebuilt the carb but maybe something else went wrong. Well, my one stroke of intelligence came when I decided to see if enough fuel was getting to the carb. I pulled off the fuel hose and nothing came out. Went to the gas station, filled up the tank and it started on the first kick.
Cool. But now it's billowing smoke and oil is dripping out the where the muffler meets the head (still gotta replace that gasket). Could I have been pumping oil into the engine every time I tried to kick start it?
