Re: Engine Running poorly on cold start w/fuel smell,wht smoke.
White smoke out of tail pipe on start is an indication of a leaking headgasket ...any mix of oil and coolant..or sulpher smell in the coolant overflow can be headgasket problem. Just a sugg that I hope helps. Even if you do have to change it...pretty simple and cheap job on the 3A.
