[Engine] white smoke

[polar]

engines dont get addicted to easy start.

they develope faults, usually fuel system , glow plugs or starter related which makes a cold start difficult .  easystart goes bang easier than diesel does so the faulty engine will start. but the easystart wont cure the underlying fault. used sensibly and sparingly easystart will allow you to continue to use the vehicle but youll need to sort the underlying problem if you want to stop using it.


ive got one tractor that ive been using easystart on for 30 odd years , really ought to find time to fit new piston rings to sort the low compression, but easystasrt is cheaper in the short term than an engine stripdown.

Maybe the low compression and worn piston rings are a result of using easy start  


Yep thats what continued use causes - it damages glow plugs, piston rings, valves and it can damage starter motors. That is why people think the engine has become addicted to the stuff, what it has really done is damage the engine because it is highly explosive. 

I have seen it blow the ends off the glow plugs from one use! 

Its okay to use in an emergency but otherwise leave well alone.

we had just made a  short journey & turning around in the yard it kept cutting out then chugging & blowing out thick clouds of white smoke, as we only bought it 4 days ago we thought the worst, however husband got out the magic spray [damp start] & a miracle happened, instant start, not a cloud to be seen & running fine, don't know how long it will last tho.

Your white smoke is air getting in to the fuel.  It may have cured itself in the short term but it will happen again.  You need to get a new fuel filter fitted as the old one has probably broken down and the fibres are clogging the one way valve in the lid of the fuel filter housing, thus letting in air. Blingos are prone to this.  The filter housing needs cleaning out and a new filter fitting.  First port of call.
