Subject:Westy (2.1w/digifant) running rich? when warm
From:Karl Wolz

Hello all,

My Westy w/ 2.1L w/ Digifant is running fine when cold, and also when it
goes through a full warm-up cycle (5 miles+).

However, if I only drive a couple or three miles, then shut it down for
a while (grocery store run), it starts hard, blows white smoke, and will
only accelerate from idle if I floor it with no load.  Once it's going
again, it seems kinda OK, but a little doggy.

The idle valve is disconnected, I've found no vacuum leaks, and the temp
II sender seems OK, though I haven't used a voltmeter on it.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Karl Wolz
