Subject: running rich is making me poo

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,
Paul Rogers,
85 Westy, that wants to go camping
