    Cool setup. Is it a SOHC or DOHC head? I understand (but am not sure) that ZC's exist both with SOHC and DOHC.

    Unfortunately 1... I have not and not many here know the carbs.
    Unfortunately 2... there is little to no activity on this board right now (hoping to turn that around in the coming years).

    But digging a bit more in, you see the problem depends on the corner, so rpm is not the real problem? Other sections on the track but with similar rpms it does run well? Can it be due to the sideways forces in that particular corner that something in the carb gets stuck or otherwise does not cooperate?

    The blue smoke could be coming from bad piston rings, getting oil in with high rpms and no throttle for a moment. I had this in the past with my B16B. Then when accelerating again it would blow blue smoke. After installing new rings and a fresh hone it was gone.
