White smoke
White smoke is never good, are you using much water?
White smoke
ive not had it long, what should i do if the water goes down? is it exspensive to fix.
If its not the water what else can it be?
expensive?
If its a garage job .... yes. White smoke is water vapour. Either from residue in exhaust or from the cylinders. If its the cylinders, the problem is either a blown head gasket or cracked/holed cylinder head. Check inside the radiator reservoir for air bubbles/oil whilst engine is hot and running.[not the hot radiator - removal of cap is dangerous] If the water is low then you are loosing coolant - suspect a blown cylinder head gasket or cylinder head cracked but coolant loss could be just a water hose leak... Any air bubbles/oil floating on the coolant then its the head gasket or cylinder head.
PS ..if its a head gasket then evenually it will cause a catastrophic failure and engine could boil/blow cylinder head hole etc. You could get the cylinders compression tested to sort if there is a leak.
smokey fourtrak
when the fourtrak is started it smokes (white smoke)and stutters abit then stabilises and white smoke stops(all within 5-10 seconds). Does this give a better clue to the cause?

Could it be un burnt fuel?
Diesels starting from very co
Diesels starting from very cold blow light blue smoke, almost white. It darkens as the engine warms up. First time I saw this was exhaust from a semi. I wondered what the heck was wrong with it, I was told it is normal in cold conditions.
