i SMELL GAS.....
OK I HAVE a 83 2.8 3spd with 2bl electronic carb. i dont know what to do my car uses tons o gas it seems every now and then u get a good strong gas smell. also at start up there is white smoke and not to mention the deisiling off!!! i lowerd the idle on the car because it seemed high and it helped but the idle is so low it alsmost stalls so not a good fix on that the card is fresh so i dont know what is wrong PLEASE HELP THANKSYOU!!!!!
My guess is that it's time you learned something about the E2SE carburetor, and how to adjust one. There could be many problems, from float level, inlet need valve, idle air bleed adjutment, throttle position sensor adjustment, leaking bowl/well plugs, and others I'm probably forgetting.
