I got a 87 c10 that had a carbureted 305 motor swapped into it. I Rebuilt the RodChester Quadra jet carburetor due to flooding of motor so bad it was getting in the oil. Changed the oil Now after the rebuild of the carb the truck runs and idles is smooth. BUT now smokes Like it’s running rich. How can I fix this?

What color is the smoke? Have you tried smelling it when it puffs out?

What did you find during the carb rebuild?

For the most part they Carb look good there was a couple of small air ports that was clogged up that I unclog. The main cause of it flooding look to be be the person did not hang the needle The correct way. They hung it off the hole on the float arm.
As far a smell all I could smell it gas from changing the oil. All I know is that it was burning my eyes and made my nose run. Smoke coming out both mufflers ture duels dumps.
