fd running rich

my 94 fd is running really rich especially on startup...an it billows some white smoke for about 30 seconds to a min...once it warms up it dosent run rich anymore but i pulled spark plugs an they had carbon buildup ...any ideas as to why it would smoke for a bit an be rich? i hope its not the seals..please not be the seals..thanks

What is your location?

White smoke at startup doesn't mean its running rich.

If you are new to the car, I suggest you find a competent local-ish rotary shop to give it the once over before you start speculating about potential problems. Plugs should be inspected and changed if necessary about every 7k miles. At least that is the schedule I tend to follow depending on how the plugs look.
