Running Rich 120-130

White smoke is not gasoline. It might be oil or coolant. But the symptom
you describe indicates a rich mixture or overfilling of the float chamber.
You should probably examine your spark plugs and see what color they are.
This will give you some clues as to what the problem really is.
Might also pull your float lids right after shutdown and see if they
both have the same amount of gas in them. Should be about half full or maybe
a little lower. Also check to make sure that your float valves are tightly
screwed into the float chamber lid.
