it's decently critical.. about as important as a proper sync on the carbs..
smoke on a two stroke tho.. usually oil.. fuel doesn't really smoke.. check the reeds and compression, or oil injection if equipped.

4mm too high will make the A/F ratio noticeably too rich. That may make the bike a little sluggish, will encourage extra smoke, and hammer the fuel consumption. Setting it too low will make it too lean, possibly enough to lead to seizure or a holed piston.
