Re: smoke everywhere

it is either flooding or you put to much oil inthe gass. i would say it is flooding [ to much gass ] your float could be stuck open . pump primer bulb if it dont git tight then you have a open carb or could be a hole in fuelpump.

Re: smoke everywhere

While the engine is idling, place your hand on the VRO and see if it has a slow pulse or a quick one. If there is an air leak on the fuel side, it will pump quickly and burn bunches of oil. If the pump is thumping slowly, its doing OK.
