Re: [Amc-list] Carb adjustments - Holley 1909 one barrel

I checked again after idling it and parking it. The number one spark
plug was wet again. It did not smell like gas, and the liquid had a
heavier feel than gas. I rubbed some on my fingertips, and it feels
like oil.

It is oil in the number one cylinder. BUT - after pulling the spark
plug cable to the first spark plug and starting the engine up again -
it was still smoking. I tried disconnecting the spark plug for number
three as well (that was wet previously - didn't seem as bad this
time). Car still smoked.

Tail pipe is wet and black - I got a lot of soot checking out the tail
pipe. Probably got a couple things going on.
