occasionally white smoke from exhaust
occasionally white smoke from exhaust
we've been building an OM616 with a 603 pump with 7.5mm elements (built by pasi i think). standard turbo. alda is connected.
so far so good, engine runs great except for one thing:
after a few short sprints/accelerations on the road the engine suddenly starts to "misfire", power is gone, and big cloud of white smoke (from the smell of it it's pure unburnt diesel) comes from the exhaust together with a loud diesel ticking sound.
after maybe 5 seconds pushing the throttle the smoke is gone and the engine suddenly runs great again with full power.
does anyone know what the cause of this could be?

Wouldn't think it would be a fault with the pump as it sounds as though it is only effecting one cylinder.
