Hi again all,
I have managed to get my K Jet DX engine that's in my camper running after a long time sat still (
year and half since last start and before that 5 years sat still).
At present it has no coolant in her what so ever due to mid way replacing water pipes under the van, so it means I cannot really run her up to temp.
She takes a bit of fiddling with the CO adjuster on the metering head as the cold start valve does not seem to be working, which I will sort separately soon. But once started she starts easily from then on.
Vid of her running:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nI9QUIv5NQI was wondering if this amount of white smoke is usual for a engine not run in a while? And will it "burn" off? If anything it seemed to get worse the longer I left the engine to run (
stirring up the oil that's been sat with condensation etc for so long?)
When I hold my hand nearer the exhaust I can really hear a kind of puffing noise. It is also worth mentioning that at present it is using the 1.6 td exhaust manifold and box, not my choice but until its MOT'd and road worthy I cannot take her to have a custom down pipe fabricated.
The injectors did all seem to work last time I pulled them and tested, but I know on other occasions I tested a couple sometimes didn't always spray well.
Could this puffing sound be a piston not quite getting enough fuel delivery?Thanks
