2nd try
OK, don't hit enter for carriage return. So, I recently acquired a 1977 with a 1982 3.0 engine. It had been setting for 3 years. PO stated that is suddenly started blowing cloud of smoke and he just parked it. On checking in out for a recommissioning, I drained the sump and tank. I found 12 quarts in the sump and one quart in the tank. Applying standard M/C knowledge, I would just assume that it wet sumped from sitting. Otherwise I must assume that the scavenger pump failed to return oil to the tank 3 years ago, thus causing the smoking engine. Where do I start in diagnosing this problem? Thanks
