Well there's the other issue, which sounds like you hit on it...

Anytime there's enough gasoline to see it in the oil the carb is washing the cylinders dry and it's not sealing properly.

No offense, but I find it hard to believe it's 0% leakdown. A really good motor is going to leak 6-8% when hot. If you can get a cold leak of 10-12%, the rings should be fine.

If the carb is washing the cylinders down though, it's gonna smoke.

Doubt the carb is too big for it to idle. Lean out the idle mixture screws and see if it stops smoking.
