Smoke threw Exhaust ??? need help

I just bought an RX-7 1989 13b now when I turn on the car I kinda have to press on the Gas pedal but I think it's because it's flooded and I don' t know why ?????


Also White smoke coming out of the Exhaust and it's a lot of it and it smells sweet/ and on the Exhaust it leaves like a green water looks like coolent.....

I was wondering if my coolent seal went out is that bad and is it fixable ???

PLease help I don't much about Rotary Engines and I would like to get this fixed

Thanxs

if it's the seals thats means you gotta rebuilt the motor....

most RX7's flood, it's because the injectors drip as the cars off....

does it smoke more then when you start it?...

by the sounds of it you will have to get your engine rebuilt, but there could be other things that cause excess coolant to be in your exhaust.... i think....

one of the more knowledgable individuals on this site will see this thread and give their expertise....

is it rebuild time

The owner told me that it didn't have a thermostat could that be it also I am new to this Rebuilding thing what parts need to be used and replaced .........


but the more I think about it I think it's the coolent seals but I don't know is there anything to just cover the seals for a short period of time so I can save up for a rebuild

Do a search for the block weld trick. Some people have had success with it but personally it has not worked for me in the past.
