Have this ole 82 Rabbit I picked up awhile ago, has a 107A pump from a 1.5 (I think) on it. Thing runs pretty good, started right up after two glows after sitting for a year, and it was pretty cold today. Question is, white smoke, unburned fuel, slight bit at idle, LOT when you blip the throttle, not too much but some on steady unloaded RPM. Pump is unknown history, I put a front seal in it, was leaking profusely, timed it at .95 or so. I've never had one billow fuel smoke like this, thoughts? It runs fine otherwise and I'd tend to think it's essentially OK since it started up without much drama from sitting so long.

You will need to adjust the valves. I has a smiliar issue with my mark I Rabbit diesel. To adjust the valves, you will need shims after determining appropriate valve lash.

I've adjusted valves on some of the other 1.6's and such, but not this one. They wear tighter usually, I don't usually associate fuel smoke with that though?
