first off the problem is when ticking over it smokes alot and still but not as much when im driving/rev it up also its using alot of water having to fill it up everyday.
what ive changed:
spark plugs
ht leads
done oil change
cleaned carb
put redex in fuel and carb to extra clean it

anyone got any ideas what to check next? thanks ian:thumb:

misfiring yes, power is debatable. when setting off it sounds as if its not running on all cylinders so sounds like a subaru then mid revs all the power kicks back in and sound normal again. it doesnt make the subaru noise all the time just sometimes but its starting to worry me making the noises and smoking alot and with using alot of water aswell
