TOH

(quoted from post at 06:57:53 05/07/21) Sorry if I misunderstood you but I went back and reread my oil
consumption post and after that I still think your suggestion on valve
guides is correct.I have no blowby which is a big factor if the rings
are bad.I did not know the carburetor and the intake manifold had oil
till I posted it that day as my carburetor was dripping gas out the sinister and
was on its way up the air pipe. My needle and seat was the problem and
when I took the carburetor off the gasket was soggy with oil and I ran
a finger up into the intake there was some oil there to. So would I
get oil in the carburetor and intake with bad rings -----and that is
why I wrote I am going with TOH. Also the oil from the air filter was the 1st place I went, It was full and very clear. I put a new needle and seat in too. Could the oil in the carburetor and intake manifold be coming bad guides.

NOT necessarily!

There are "compression rings" and an "oil control ring".

It's POSSIBLE to have very little "blowby" and good compression, but yet have an "oil burner" if there's something wrong with the "oil control rings". (Worn, broken, stuck, improperly installed, carboned up drain holes in pistons, etc.)
