Ya I had a crapload of gas just hanging out in it. But that I figured out now. It starts and revs fine. (Only starts if I have the gas pedal all the way down.) It is producing ALLOT of white smoke while it runs. It gets down to about 1500 rpm the sputters like it might idle the sputters out and shuts off. It is spitting oil out of the exhaust and I now fear the worst. Thoughts and opinions? It is a fresh rebuild and at first I thought it was just burning crap off it is also premixed but I don't think that either of those can actually explain how bad the smoke is.

Go to the return line on the left side of the engine. Unclamp the return line and let the residual fuel bleed off.
Now while your there...........go jumper the yellow two socket fuel pump check connector. Turn the key ON for a couple of seconds.
IF fuel did not pour out of the metal return line on the engine...............either your pump isn't working right or the fuel system is plumbed wrong.
When you HOLD the key to START.................the pump runs. See key word HOLD.
When the engine actually starts................the pump keeps running IF the circuit opening relay sees a gnd from the afm (series four car).
If the circuit opening relay does not see the gnd from the afm........the pump stops running an most likely the engine also stops running.

ok, so i felt along the bottom of my turbo and dp and thats where the oil is. just kinda sitting i also realized the little vent on the oil fill neck was blocked and i have not had a chance to try to start it since i pulled the plug off. it seems like it may be the oil return line and/or the turbo any input, i will be trying to start it again tomorrow and if it does the same thing im gonna borrow a turbo and see if that may be the issue. lmk what you guy's think, thanks in advance,
-Mike.
