Pierburg 2e Carb Help.

I have not owned the car for too long. When I got the car the idle speed was very low and I adjusted it using the nut on the back of the 3/4 pot, the rod was extended out from the 3/4 pot then and never seemed to move in. When I was doing this I noticed some petrol leaking through one of the gaskets. it smelt like it was running rich but thought nothing of this and there was no smoke from the exhaust.
I brought a gasket kit for the carb from VW Heritage to and opted to change them all. Whilst it was off I took the opportunity to replace the vacuum hoses. The car was running a little lumpy before I started but not smoking.
When I refitted everything and started it up the 3/4 pot rod is just sucking in hard and staring there. The adjuster screw on the back appears to do nothing and the car has a constant amount of white smoke now.
Any ideas or input would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

White smoke cleared on a run phew! When she's been running for about 5 mins she just cuts out.

The carb is leaking fuel onto the exhaust manifold and the village mechanic says that it needs a "gasket kit". I believe that the carb is a Pierburg 2E2.
Heritage are out of stock but there is this kit on eBay:

I am assuming that this will be suitable for the caddy but I thought that I would check with forum experts! What do you think?

If you can post up a picture and we should be able to tell or look carful at the carb and usually says what it is on it.
Another cheaper option is buy some gasket paper and make your own, assorted thickness paper is £2.80 but you will only be able to make the gaskets and the kit includes a lot more stuff to service the carb.
Pierburg carbs are tricky to work on and get running right unless you know what you are doing, that is why most people change the carb for a Webber as it's simple to set up and work on but the Pierburg is a much better carb.

I am away from home at the moment so cannot post a picture. My Haynes manual suggests it is a 2E2 and that is what I am ssuming. The Clipper was manufactured in 1989/1990 and the engine is an EX………
Dismantling a carb is beyond me which is why I am relying on the village mechanic; if it was an external gasket then your suggestion is a great idea!
Thanks,
Marc
