I seem to be having 3 problems with my car.
1.) I'm only getting at best 11mpg with a 250 inline 6. It more around 9. That could be a number of problems.
2.) I have heard from a few guys that the mixture of gas is to rich. What does that mean, and how can i change that? The tail pipe likes to give out black smoke when i start it up, and the tailpipe is also caked with black stuff. What can i do about it?
3.) Recently at a car cruise I drove my car down main street for about 1 mile, turned around and about 3/4 a mile left, I was smoking like crazy. It was about 5mph the entire time, alot of stopping and starting. on my way home, i noticed a real bad tapping from the engine, which turned out to be lack of oil. When i check the oil, I had burned about 1 quart of oil. and was nearly empty. What Could have cause all of the oil to burn, and was that the cause of the smoking? Im at a complete loss, and am not sure what i can do.
Any input on these problems would be greatly appriciated, and are they in any way related to my carburator? If so Please get back to me with some advice, if not, thanks anyways.
