Do you replace the O-ring in the dash pot during the rebuild. It sounds
like oil is leaking from the dash pot into the carb and being burned off.
To replace the O-ring you will have to fish the star washer that is holding
it down out with a thin stiff piece of wire with a "J" at the end.
It is not hard just takes a while to fish the washer out.
