If the smoke smells like raw fuel that is an indication of late timing or for some other reason the fuel is being atomized but not burning.

Put a piece of cardboards or board near the exhaust and remove it so you can smell it.

Note that it has happened before that people have acquired Engines that were not in good shape for transplants.
