Hello all - My well cared for 1966 cb77 Superhawk has begun to blow at lot of smoke and raw oil out of the left muffler, so much that fresh oil drains out of the muffler when parked! Compression is even in both cylinders, and the left spark plug is not oily, nice and tan, "normal". I also seem to be...
