OK, so here is my problem. The car is hard to start. It requires pumping the throttle and will start rough after a try or two as long as I hold the throttle, then evens out. The idle is like 200 RPM, so I adjusted the stop for the TB butterfly so that the car idles at 550. It idles here but does hunt some, occasionally stalling. When in gear first starting off idle the car hesitates badly, then jumps out of the gate. This is if it has idled for 30 seconds or more. It also does this in traffic. At highway speeds (above 45) when letting off lightly letting off the throttle it seems to miss. I first suspected fuel pump issues as someone here suggested, but the car is also running bad rich. I see white smoke and smell gas when starting up, and it is getting terrible fuel economy. Any tips you can provide would be helpful, as I can't seem to find much info relating to the Regina system.
Thanks
keith
