Re: engine question
I may be way off here, but the people who did your carb may have dropped some thing down the intake like a washer or nut.

Re: engine question
Man this is weird! I just did the same thing this morning on my pick-up. I built a new carb and put it on and then after a couple minutes a crap load of white smoke and a bunch of clattering. I must have dropped something.
Best of luck to you, I would take it back!

That's a scary thought, but it's possible. That would be loud. It sure will be a ***** to pull the manifold/heads to find out. Whitish/gray smoke usually means you're running too rich. You might be able to narrow down the source of the noise with a sethoscope. +1 on taking it back. If it was fine before and it's clacking now, I'd get it back to them and have them check it out before too much time passes and they blame it on you.
