I didn't see any black smoke....but he was out on the track. The plug was nasty black. The motor is basically stock and I always had a problem with the intake valve lash going to zero....I guess they were wearing into the head. Try the valve lash at 6 and 8 and see if it starts...if not pull the head off and remove the intake valves and check them. I'll post a pic of the bad valves tomorrow. If the valves come in tomorrow I hope to have it done this weekend. Take comp. and see what you got. I only had 30psi.
