that's why you're not really seeing it! my P port was pretty bad, my first time with a weber+short drives/lots of idling = dark gas smelling oil really quick.

with the carb much much better tuned, and some heat* in the thing, it went a few laps on the track and the oil still looks and smells perfect, still tastes bad though

*the radiator stopped working between 2002 and 2011, go figure
