Default 1989 accord LXI fuel problem

when I start the car its like it is flooded and smoke will come out the tail pipe but when it clears up it runs smooth as can be it don't do it every time so where should I look.i just put a new head gasket on it and had the fuel rail off and I replaced the O rings on it.i picked up a new fuel filter yesterday but have not put it on. Thanks

  • Blue Smoke: typically indicates the presence of oil in the combustion chamber
  • White Smoke: typically indicates coolant or water in the combustion chamber
  • Black Smoke: typically indicates an over rich fuel mixture.
