Not trying to be bearer of bad news but blue smoke from accelerating off idle sounds like a valve seal leaking.
Well if you're right, that's a lot better than rings which is my fear. I used umbrella seals. I had a difficult time figuring out how they are supposed to go on. I put them with the big opening facing down and they seem to fit into the lower Groove on the valve stem right above the guide. That sound like I put them on right at least? The Rings were properly gapped and I'm quite confident I didn't put them in upside down, the instructions were clear.
None of the local repair shops carry jets so I ordered a size 58 today.
As for lowering float levels, does it have any side effect other than leaning out the mixture?
