Smoke at start up you say?

I've had this problem that has gotten progressively worse since the spring. My truck has been smoking at start up. At first it was more haze but it has been progressing. My attempts to fix have been: fuel additive (hanging injectors),
backing the timing off, afc screw set flush, cone at stock, turning out the fuel screw. Now in the warm weather it skips and I can make black smoke by pushing it and it's white when I back off. Once the engine warms just a little the misfiring stops. Then at normal temp it still produces a good amount blue haze. The truck just turned 200K I had the pump rebuilt by Boston Injection about 50K ago. I have installed a 3K gov spring this spring but even when I was having trouble bringing the idle back down from a deep fuel screw it didn't smoke like it is now. Does the KSB work even on the summer until the engine warms and I might have a weak solidniod(I'm not a speller)? I'm open to suggestions, TIA
