I have resealed the fuel enrichment solenoid(leaking externally), repaced the air intake gaskets(distorted) replaced plugs, checked comp.( 90 psi. all 4)and ran with fresh fuel both through vro sys. (ck'ed oil reservoir tank for contamination) and mixed fuel blocking oil supply line. Ran about 4 gals. mixed fuel through the motor to make sure all residual oil inj. oil was purged. Still smokes heavily (grey) and doesn't want to run at low rpm (1/4 throttle and below). What else should I do. Is 90 psi. comp. enough to burn efficiently?
 
I'll ck for sure but it seems to be running smooth at 1/4 throttle and above.(too smooth to be loosing even 1 cyl.) I haven't checked the spark gap jump but none are fouled after running a while and checking. What do you think about the 90 psi. comp.? I have ck'ed that with 2 different gauges warm and cold engine and it is very consistently 90 on all 4 cylinders.
 
I would say there is something wrong if it won't idle properly.----Time for you to do the trouble shooting.----Saying it runs " too smooth " is not trouble shooting.----They run very well on 3 of 4 cylinders.----Good luck with it.
