yes when i fire up my thing the engine ideal but it is only when i rev it it wont ideal any more what do u think it can be i think it might be something with the valves it pops and black smoke come out of it when ou jump on it not a lot but jsut a tiny stream jsut noticable but am i right with the valves needing to be ajusted it is a stock 1973 thing except it has a compufire disxi ignition on it
thanks

| Sounds like its not running on all the cylinders. When is the last time it was ran? How does the carb setup look? How old is the gas in there? Have you done a tune up on it? Is the timing right? |

| Good idea. How many miles ago did you adjust the valves? What do you normally adjust them to? |
