Now starting when cold, it belches black smoke and runs very roug

I replaced my carburetor with a new one but without the stepper motor. immediately after installation and for the first 3 weeks after installation the engine ran perfect. Now starting when cold, it belches black smoke and runs very rough. for about 15-20 minutes then the engine smooths out. When driving there is a noticeable hesitation when accelerating and a puff of black smoke, out of the exhaust, then the engine accelerates. I have checked the choke and yes it is fully open after warmup. Any ideas?

Sounds like either the float level is too high, there is a problem with the float needle valve or the power valve is stuck. I'd take the carb off and either replace it or take it apart and check everything inside. If you do nothing, chances are it will either get worse or if it's a small piece of junk inside, it may clear up by itself...I'd take it apart. Since it's pretty new, if you are careful, likely you won't need a gasket kit.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. Since it is under warranty, I'll send it back for a replacement."

85 Nissan 720 with Z24 motor when first started it will run great for a short time then fall on its face spits and sputters and u can't keep it running

Naturally aspirated carburetor with automatic choke.

If youre in winter (northern hemisphere) then the choke will set when you depress accelerator for cold start.

After the engine starts it unloads (opens) the choke slightly. As the engine warms it continues to open the choke until fully open.

Likely the choke is not opening as the engine reaches normal operating temperature and fuel mixture us too rich causing poor combustion and black smoke.

White smoke belching out but will not start

white smoke is usually water, grey=oil dark grey=other fluids. with the belching and other symptoms i would be inclined to believe you have a blown head gasket.

2004 f150 5.4 on initial takeoff truck does not want to accel idles roug, blows black smoke last nightwould start but then died right away. started this morning but not running good burns ALOT of fuel

Did you take a look at your oil dipstick? Was there any water drops on it? From the limited information you give, it sounds like you could have a blown head gasket.

Check your dipstick and see if you find any signs of coolant on it, If you do, most autoparts stores sell a hydrocarb tester to verify it.

My Toyota Corolla XL 1996 model is belching heavy white smoke. I have just changed the oil and also the spark plug. What do you think is the problem?

white smoke usually indicates the engine is burning oil or its burning coolant. when the engine is cold remove the radiator cap and start the vehicle, if it immediately begins to blow air and or coolant from the radiator you most likely have a blown head gasket, if not then remove the oil cap and feel for air coming out. if it blows kinda like a hair dryer then you most likely have a piston ring issue and you are burning oil. either way you may be looking at major surgery to repair.

98 saturn it won't start when the engine is cold i have to put the gas peddle to the floor while I turn the key till it starts. when it does start I get large cloud of blue smoke. once the engine is warm...

Replace The Throttle Positioning Sensor...When you put Accelerator to the floor ... It rolls the Position Sensor Cam to tell computer etc to put Injectors Etc..into cold start mode...as soon as the motor fires..injectors take over and do their job..The Black smoke is the Extra Gas Put it cylinders to Purge it in a cold Start Mode...Throttle Positioning Sensor..and Yes You Can do It.!!! AutoZone-O'Reillys Etc..Easy Fix !! And Remember Castrol GTX-5-30/ 10-30 !!!
