I put new rings in my 50 8n. had trouble starting it and when it did it smoked as bad as it did before I put rings in it. I called a friend of mine who is a very good mechanic and he told me to put some oil in each cylinder and run it for 2 hours. He told me that rings has to have enough time to conform or seat into each cylinder wall if you haven't put new sleeves in it. Well I did and about after 30 minutes I noticed the smoke started backing off. After an hour is really backed off. Now the only time is smokes it when you give it the throttle then stops. I haven't run it with a brush hog yet so I don't know how it will do then but for now it seems to be okay. The oil cap is interesting.

Don't know if that will help you or not. Just my 3 cents worth.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
