    Thanks for the reply.  I think the excess fuel check valve purge may be where I look next.   I’ve attached links of the motor running in a barrel.  The points have checked spot-on at 0.020″.  Really three symptoms here.

    1.  Motor does not idle well

    2.  Motor smokes excessively.  Oil mixture is the recommended 16:1.  The smoking is new.

    3.  Seems to be some faint knock.

    Thanks for all the advice.
