    Black soot feom exhaust pipes

    Hello I have a question about my newish 350 vortex engine. I have a brand new holly 750cfm carb, it seems to run amazing but I'm getting black soot on the garage floor on start up? Is it too rich? Anything helps. I posted a picture. It's equal on both sides.

    Oil consumption problems on my stock 87 305tbi-350 carb

    Get a leak down tester. You put air into your cylinder while it's at TDC and let you know if it's leaking out. If it's leaking out it will also give you a good indication of where and why it's burning oil
