Thanks guys. My son and I took the 1450 out for a loop this evening in the dark. In all honesty, that's the most seat time I've had on this old girl since I've acquired her a couple weeks ago. Noticed constant smoke with the headlights on. Something I didn't see in the daylight. I'll get some more seat time (hopefully pushing snow/ under load) and double check the oil level and spark plug. I'd also like to be sure the carb is properly adjusted and not overly rich.
I'll be asking my brother more questions about the engine rebuild real soon...
