Ive followed your detailed pump overhaul blog.

Regarding the relationship between the fuel limiter screw and idle speed at idle under load my issue is that i get a gray black haze at idle with ac on, ac off and the smoke lessens. The engine is in a conversion and idles around 900rpm in drive ac off. l When i snap the throttle in neutral there is no delay or engine rpm hangup coming back to idle. The crimp collar is still there so its setting is within 1/2 turn of the locknut.

Is this a fueling issue injector wise or does the fuel limiter screw needs backing out with the corresponding idle restored with the idle screw?
