Well the smoke doesnt look bad. Even when i lean it out really good, It still has a good steady stream of white smoke. It doesnt fade until i come to a dead stop. As far as the 280 is concerned tho, My glow plug shot out of the top of the motor when it was that hot so i dont know. Another thing that i dont know if anyone pays any attention to is that my exhaust pipe is around 350ish when the motor is at 250+ I dont know if thats normal either but i do know that exhaust DO get really hot. When the motor gets up above 250 it acts like it doesnt have power and it usually dies pretty easily too. Im just gonna take it to my LHS and run it around their parking lot then show them what its doing. They might know a little more than me lol

EDIT: The low needle is still set at factory and i thought they always set those to a bit rich, Ill have to check that out tho.
