Hey guys I've noticed that when I get on the Lightning sometimes (kick down from 4th to 2nd or 3rd) I look back and I see a cloud of smoke. Is this becasue I don't get on it enough? I remember awhile back I hit it hard and I happened to look back and there was a big cloud of dark smoke. A car behind me had to pull over. I did the same thing again right after that and there was nothing (no smoke) so I guess I cleaned it out? I really don't drive her as hard like I use to. I mainly putt around town 90% of the time. I know they run rich from the factory, so is this normal?

dark black? dark blue?
Black is fuel or carbon is is usually a sign of unburnt fuel

Yep it's black. I just don't remember it doing this when it was new. Maybe she's burning real rich now? :shrug:
I might be concerned that ssomething isn't quite right if it's giving off a cloud of smoke so heavy that cars behind you have to stop.
Yep, it did that once and right after that I repeated the same thing and there was nothing (no smoke) so I think it was just a lot of carbon build up from just putting around town. I asked a mechanic friend of mine about it and that's what he told me. I guess I need to air this thing out every now and then. :-D
