As far as I'm aware it would only lean out if you were using a rising rate regulator. A fuel reg is there to equalise the pressure depending on manifold vaccum ie; when your backed off or at idle it lowers the fuel pressure to compensate for the vaccum otherwise the vaccum would pull more fuel in. So YOU might not of f**ked it. Your problem proberly wasn't caused by the reg. Maybe there was a problem with the build or bedding in? Just my opinion.

im very confused now..took car for a drive (was sitting for 4hrs) it blew white smoke for a good 5mins of driving mainly puffed out white smoke on backoff...then once car got hot..smoke went away..i took it for a good hard drive..pulled up..not a drop of blow by coming from filter or catch can hoses...so im confused..maybe the rings arent bedded in properly yet?
