I finally installed new gaskets for the intake on the old Beetle this weekend. It runs a lot better, and doesn't leak gas everywhere now, so that's a good thing. I even took it out for a quick spin to see how it drives. It was a blast!
The only problem was I had a dead short once I had everything re-installed. It turned out to be the wire going to the electric choke was touching the dog-house (fan shroud) and causing the smoke. Didn't take long to find and fix, but it's never cool to see smoke coming from the wiring.
