Why does my 86 b2000 smoke for about 5 minutes when you first start it?It looks like its on fire. But it still runs good.
Its a stock 86 cab plus 2.0 that i bought for $400 with a cracked head. It had been sitting for 6 years when i got it so there is a some scarring on the cylinder walls where the pistons sit for so long in one spot.
Put another head on it and replaced the valve seals.
A new water pump.
Rebuilt the carb and put a new mixture control solenoid in it.
Had to replace the fuel sending unit.
Had to replace the key switch.
Complete tune up with all new filters and everything.
I still need the window chanel rubber that keep0s the window on track because they only roll down halfway and then get in a bind. The rubber down in the door is all dry rotted and swelled up. I really need a new gas tank because this one is so rusty on the inside but im gonna try to get by with it for a while.
Ive ended up with just over $1500 in this thing and now it smokes so bad for about 5 minutes or so when you first start it that i couldnt give it away.
I hate to give up on it because the body is perfect and i got it from the original owner with 120,000 miles on it. But Im getting fed up with it and getting to much in it.
If i could stop the smoke I would be happy
