what do you mean the carb is smoking? did you pull the carb off the manifold? if you did did you use a new base O ring? coolant does flow through the carb, from the manifold up through the carb base, and out a hose on the back. if the O ring gasket was reused coolant could possibly make it into the intake manifold or steam could be coming out the carb base
