1. I  have smoke puffing out the PCV tube into the air cleaner when  running.



If the 64 is like the 65-up, the first thing to check is the orifice  in the 
feed tube. There is a tee off that tube from the upper shroud to the air  
cleaner. Clamped onto it is the hose to the cross-over tube between the heads.  
Remove the hose at the Tee on the up-feed tube, then remove the tube. Be sure  
that the little hole in the tee orifice is open. It can get clogged up and  
closed. If it gets clogged, the suction that the carburetor base  connections 
impart will not be applied to the smoke that is coming past the  rings. Unless 
the engine is really worn, this orifice to the carb bases should  keep the smoke 
from being ingested into the carbs, once the engine wears more,  the excess 
smoke will go up into the air cleaner housing and be ingested by the  engine.
