Csx 4000 issues- can u help?

Small update. First time out since discussion. So I filled up the radiator fluid till half way up in the overflow , went for ride- temp was ok and the hoses were hot. After 5 min ride, fuel up. Try to start engine and a loud noise and no start. Try again and tons of white smoke come out of the one exhaust. Smells like antifreeze to add. Take it home immediately, till another noise pops and car shut off. Figured out that the choke in the carb was stuck. I hope that the white smoke had to do with that and not head gasket. Next move is to get in touch with the guy in New Brunswick in which another member had suggested, since he is only 25 min from ny. Frustrated here but appreitiate all the help on this forum. Also, got in touch with shelby Las Vegas for new emblem. Thanks again for that also!!!

Now you need to take it to the mechanic. And don't drive it there. Sounds like a blown head gasket. If it was the carb, white smoke would come out both pipes and wouldn't smell like anti freeze.

Don't start it again! Have it trailered to a mechanic.
