Default RE: Substitute for Ether

Diesels smoke when the fuel isn't completely burned. A freezing cold injected diesel will throw white smoke like crazy if glow plugs or air heater doesn't work. This is actually fuel vapor. I had similar smoke with my FS40 early on before I figured out it was so rich that only the excessive compression kept it running.

The Enya 41-4CD doesn't have compression adjustment as far as I know. Mine is here but I have not picked picked it up yet. He is elduing to the idea used on this engine.

The crank runs in an eccentric which the lever rotates to adjust crank centerline distance to the head for compression adjustment.
