[QUOTE="noddy, post: 157123, member: 3620"] Carb set up shouldn't affect oil usage, unless you getting lots of unburnt fuel by passing the rings and thinning the oil enough to let it back past the rings. Ring do take time to bed in but I would have thought that it should be ok by 2K miles. Is it burning the oil or do you have a leak from some where, are the plugs heavily carbon fouled and wet looking, would show that is burning the oil, is the exhaust smokey. How much oil is it using V millage driven. I would get your carb stripped cleaned and the throttle re bushed (there are posts here on how to do it), then get it properly set up. Then check on your oil usage after a couple of hundred mile, if your still getting heavy oil usage I would contact your engine supplier. [/QUOTE]
