ok, now that I have my car running again, its billowing white smoke and gotta love that Gasoline smell https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif looked at the carb (knowing nothing about them) and only 2 of the 4 jets spray gas, is this normal? should I replace the carb? cold this possibly fix my problem with the smoke? ugh, really wish I could have it running good.

How long was it sitting?



The other 2 venturi's only open @ 3/4 to full throttle.



Did you let it warm up before revving?

well, it was sitting for 2 weeks before I finally got it started again. now that I got it started I go out every day or 2 and let it run for a few(don't want it to die again) before I bought it (almost 2 months ago) it was sitting for little over 9 months from what the guy told me. it runs strong, after it starts warming up it has no problem and only a little smoke, but it still smokes.

Thanks alot, it really helped. Just wanted to make sure its not killing my car yet. (bad luck with 7's) had my 88 GXL blow up on me, don't want another one to do that.

Just as long as the coolant seals are good and its not using any you should be fine.
