Could the injectors be leaking all the time?
Maybe you should run through the injector test.

Blue means oil, not gas. Might have bad rings. Ouch

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
