Hello listers!

As the flag bearer in the "Got All the Passion but Can't Fix Diddly"
parade, I have noticed three things telling me that my 59 TR3A is
running rather rich:  (1) Black smoke, (2) Odor, and (3) Comments from
my wife (see #2).

I think, in my ignorance, that I have the carbs leaned pretty far down.
No fix there.  I have been following the dashpot oil thread of late, and
I wonder if a switch to a thinner oil would be a logical experiment? 
Thanks in advance for your help.
