I covered the intakes with a rag. The engine runs strong, no hesitations or skipping. I just put new plugs in yesterday also. I'll pull all the plugs and check the condition.

are you sure it's not a too rich condition? make sure your carb float pistons aren't stuck
and the float bowl gaskets are not leaking.

Is there an easy way to check the floats. I did check the floats when I had the carbs apart and verified they were set to 0.300 in. The smoke is a solid blue smoke and it's definately oil dripping from the exhaust. I thought that maybe I routed a breather hose to a vacuum line by mistake. It's almost like it's sucking the oil directly. I'll definitely check everything tomorrow when I resume the investigation. I've had it for tonight.
