White smoke generally means burning coolant, usually a blow head gasket. I would do a compression test before anything else.

Did you pull the vacuum hose of the regulator and check for raw fuel?
What happened with the check engine light? Did you solve that problem?

Believe this or not if you get enough fuel in the cylinder(s) that it doesn't burn at all cause the spark plug is gas fouled, it will produce white gas vapor out the exhaust.

The rubber vacuum hose that come from the intake manifold to the top of the regulator. Take the vacuum hose off the top of the regulator and turn the ignition on. If you see gas in the hose or gas squirting out the regulator, time for a regulator.

Shane: Check the oil now and just crank for now for tests. Oil could easily be too full now and if you drive it with gas in the oil it won't lubricate diddle or cylinder wash hurt anything lubricated by that much gas. Would hate to hear of perhaps a small problem be the disaster that takes the engine out,

Diddle = Not much
Wash in this usage = washes off lubricating oil. No lubrication of cylinder walls will cause rapid wear.
Check that regulator. As said just crank this for test if oil is found too full or smells of gas if this engine is to be saved. If you think there's a chance now change it now even for testing and change again if you find the source problem and fix it before driving it,
