look guys i need some help. when i start up the b2200 it smokes real bad and then it finally goes away. im sure its running rich and the choke is messed up but how do i fix the choke and adjust the fuel needles. im used to 4 barrels.

sounds like seals man. it will obviously need fixed but you can pacify it with some quality thick oil or some lucas. keep in mind it just "hides" the issue - its still there and needs fixed!

its not the seals cuz it smells like raw fuel and and as soon as the truck warms up it does smoke any more.

I have a 91 mazda that I drive daily. It does the exact same thing and it is not the seals it is the rings. I replaced the head and it still did the same thing as before. I should have done a ring job on it or rebuilt it while I had it down that far. I am going to be putting rings on it if that is the least I can get away with since it is only a work truck and I am not concerned if it makes it another 100k just about another year is fine for me. Everyone told me it was the valve seals as well and since I was doing a head job on it the valve seals were replaced. BTW mine is having blow by on the #4 piston. You can pull your plugs clean them and in a week pull them again and you will know which cylender it is or you can do a compression check to find it as well.

Mine use to do that. It was white smoke with a sweet smell so I think I had a head gasket that was just a real minor warp and once it warmed up it sealed up.

its prolly the seals and the rings, mine smoked after i replaced the seals, but stoped when i did the rings, the rings expand when they get hotter thats why it stops when it gets to temp.
