need your help. quik

My friend just bought a 90N/A with 130K miles in it. While he was warming up the motor for about 3 minutes the engine just suddenly died. We tried starting it but it just wouldnt start. I figured it was flooded so we unflooded it by pulling the EGI fuse then cranking the motor for 10 secs. It started!!..but with blue smoke.

Question:
What the heck is wrong??..

Umm could be a million things. Probably the most likely solution is that it has a low idle when warmed up and it just crapped out and stalled. Get it started and warmed up and be sure it doesn't stall... then rev it up a little bit and let off. See what it does... does it drop to about 1000 rpm then to like 800 and idle smoothly? Or does it drop down to about 500-600 rpm and run crappy? Before you panic, you just need to do a little testing. Do you have a vacuum gauge? If so, what is the vacuum and at what RPM are you testing that vacuum? Is it stable, or rough?
