I replaced that blue boost hose with proper stuff.

Dropped the oil it did look old, popped the cover off all looked as normal and all moved freely no springs were loose they all felt good, I pulled the back diaphram cover off to just to make sure I had it on right and it was all good. Replaced all the hoses with new clamps onto the throttle body...

Hey mate yeah I have I wound it right in makes it real slow to accelerate but I’ll definitely take that plate off and have a look that’s good to know, I might find something wrong with it in there.

Hey mate I have tried that and didn’t make a difference at all, the pump hasn’t been touched. The cars had a few people try and restore it before I have so I’m not sure what’s been touched and what hasn’t. It happens when ever you accelerate it more smoke at higher Rpms I’ve tried adjusting that...

Hey mate thanks for replying, I’ve replaced the diaphragm using your guide a month or two ago really great guide btw! and it didn’t make a difference, also replaced them hoses and resealed the throttle body it definitely helped but the issue is still there on acceleration. Didn’t drain the oil...

Quick edit got injectors reconditioned they had no break pressure so they were constantly drizzling, definitely made an improvement but isn’t the whole Problem I’m still getting the white smoke just Not as bad. Still yet to re time the pump that’s this weekends job the white smoke is more on...

The glow plugs arnt hooked up at the moment been giving it a hit with start ya bastard to get it going, the big puff is while accelerating it and the normal puff is at idle for probably 4-5minutes after starting. I dropped the injectors off today to be tested and rebuilt they didn’t look to bad...

It was blue at one stage untill I changed the valve stem seals and then that sorted the blue problem, the motor runs really well I’ll get some photos today of the colour and upload them. Injectors are a little noisy on number 2 and 6 so fingers crossed that could be it

Hey guys, currently restoring a 1981 hj47 and I’ve been chasing a little engine drama for awhile and can’t quite seem to fix it. The Ute I bought has had a couple restore attempts so not sure what’s been done engine wise, it’s blowing a decent amount of white smoke on acceleration and a small...
