Mike, have your injectors been rebuilt recently?  Do you get knocking
("nailing") at idle?  I noticed a big reduction in smoke when I had mine
rebuilt.

It's not hard to tweak the max fuel screw a bit if you want to decrease
your smoke generation.  I don't remember which way is "more smoke",
though. Mine's still got the factory seal on it, I haven't had any
reason to mess with it yet.
