running too rich? smoke show


so it's never ran like this before and i'm sorta concerned. granted it is 45 degrees out and i haven't started it for a week, but none the less, i've never seen it smoke this much, and it stank pretty good too. i know that if you're burning coolent, it produces a white smoke, but has a more of a sweet smell to it, this smelled like fuel.

Doesn't look bad for a cold start and 45 degree weather? Hows it run when warmed up? If you have a cat you shoudn't smell gasoline...

Re: running too rich? smoke show

runs the same at operating temp. i just have never seen it run with so much smoke before. but whatev i guess. and there is no cat. so it's always smelled like a hot rod. i'm just paranoid because it's got other issues that showed up and it's pissing me off.
