The First Casualty of War Is Truth

>>> Martinez <mart1nez@PACBELL.NET> 6/23/03 >>>
I just did an engine swap, 1.9L to 1.9L, and the new to me engine is running
real rich. Blue smelly smoke and after a slight warm up it floods itself and
dies. I disconnected the oxygen sensor and it doesn't appear to make any
difference with the way it runs. My questions are what should I check
for/replace. I just need some advice on where to start. I would really like
to drive my Westy again but the way things are going it seems as though it's
not going to happen in my life time.......................Help.
TIA,

85 Westy, that wants to go camping
