8mm Pump Grey smoke
8mm Pump Grey smoke
Have a strange problem. I think the timing is not correct cuz i get white, blue and grey smoke instead of black on different settings. If u turn the pump up to fuel it with 180cc in neutral i get also brown/gray smoke.
This video is from the first startup with the pump from Finland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ds2-c7E5HQ
Its hard to start cold and have a bad idle. Warm start is no problem.
I have change the injectors, checked cam timing, removed the electric pre-pump, pump timing also checked compression of the cylinders. Tried from 18 BTDC to 30 BTDC. Pump builder say it should be 20 BTDC.
This engine ran fine with the Dieselmeken 7,5mm last year. Only change this winter was pump, pre-pump, pre-chamber (drilled every second hole from 2,2mm to 2,4mm) and harder valve springs.
i´ve seen that every now and then,
usually is the pump sincrinization and timing, a 8mil element is bit dificult to set is easy to charge too much on one cylinder , then thats all smoke ...comes to life.. despite that .... couldn´t see nothing from that vídeo
BTW that is not a DI the smoke with the engine unloaded tend to be a lot more grey than black
try a timing light , set to 18.5 and if it pulls well is just the question of pump tunning, fine tuning
good luck then

Sorry to say , but sometimes when i mess with pumps not all of them work great at fist fire... sometimes they have to return to me ... cause its not easy to fix them in place by someone who does not understand the governor balance... daddad
i belive u have a small problema with the pump , nothing that u can´t correct ... try to ask the pump builder directions.
yes IDI ´s tend to make grey smoke when unloaded , diff from DI´s wich puf black even with right boost...
and yes withe low combustion press, black rich mixture, blue smoke and grey maybe both hehhehe

Well im going to do some test drive first to see how the performance is.
The guy in Finland that build this pump is no noob but i know that sometimes shit could happen.
I have a spare pump i could use and send this back for some testing if needed. Or test this in another engine.
Now when i think about it. The pump is from a tractor puller and they blow grey smoke before load.

Pump builder accidently put the timing mark on #4 cylinder.
Im supprised it even started up. But it was hard to start when cold. Now it fires right up from cold and idles fine.
Well the car went very well for 5min and after that the pump shaft broke.
Inside of pump? Well that does not have much in common with setting pump out of timing.
