Onan 4000 generator starts,blows white smoke and then stops

Question

I replaced the carburetor on my 2004 Jayco class C due to pulsing.
It is an onan 4000 generator. Now when I start the generator it blows alot of white smoke runs a few seconds and then stops. Can anyone help me with this?

I can't help but there are some guys here that can.

They will need the model number and serial number.

They will also need a detailed explanation of previous problem and detailed explanation of what work was done.

Are you sure you got the throttle and choke linkages correct?

Thanks All.  I think the linkge is correct but I smell alot of gas like the choke may be sticking. The model is a 4KYFA26100K micro-quiet Spec K.I replaced the carb because It was pulsing from bad fuel.  After running it with the pulsing I also stopper getting AC into the coach.
