Thread: Smoke on start up

I would try glowing the plugs twice on cold mornings to see if that makes any changes... I had something similar and just turn the ignition on/off a couple of times and this seemed to solve the issue

Yes good idea...and it had sat for a week or two. They all hate sitting.

Came right once underway for a few minutes.

Any additives should be looking at for a clean. I had read injector cleaners can damage them.

*Injector seals done or injectors replaced?
*If replaced and you noticed the smoke, the pump is likely to need calibrating, this will stop the smoke on start up.
*An oil such as a 5W30 full synthetic can also make it smoke on start up.
*or as other have suggested, glow longer.
