Hi all. This is my first post. I am the new owner of an '86 1915 petrol manual transporter camper. the van is in excellent condition. However on startup from cold i often get white smoke which smells strongly of fuel. This disappears after initial startup and is ok on warm restarts. Any remedies please.

Hi and welcome to the club.

Try giving the old girl a good service, plugs, cap, rotor arm, leads, oil and filter, air & inline fuel filters. It may not cure the problem but at least you'll have a baseline to start a servicing regime from.

All the best, Ian.
