Hopefully someone can help. After refurbing engine etc I used to get a little white smoke when I revved it but nothing bad at all really. I suspected the electric pump was too powerful and was over fuelling so I've just changed to a low pressure facet posi flow one. However, now it smokes loads when I rev it. Any ideas what's going on?
Cheers
White smoke - sorted :)

Re: White smoke
How long are you running it to see if the smoke stiops. I suspect it's steam and the exhaust isn't hot enough to have burnt the moisture off, creating steam.

Re: White smoke
Thanks Jim
I suspected that too, but wasn't sure. Got a 30 min drive to do in a bit for the MOT retest so will find out shortly
I'll let you know what happens

Re: White smoke
Looks like it was just steam 
However, I now have a small issue of what appears to be fuel starvation once I get above about 45, so the 30 min journey took ab out 40! Something else to look at now then
