black soot on cold starts is this a problem???
« on: June 07, 2013, 01:19:30 pm »
Hi All
My old 65 will drop black soot out of the exhaust on a cold start. Is this bad or typical of a old cold v8. Only seems to do it after it has been sitting still for a week or two.

thanks :cheers:

NORMALL !..........get used to having two black spots on the driveway if you have the original downturned exhaust tips. When you start it up cold the choke is on and they just run a little rich.......no problems
