    Its a takeuchi ini digger i think its a tb135. There is lots of white smoke when the engine is running. I got the diesel injectors checked and they're ok,i drained the diesel and put fresh diesel. The smoke doesn't smell like oil burning so im not sure what the problem is?

    White smoke is generally indicative of timing issues. Could be something in the injector pump.

    Is there any other symptoms. I take it you have changed fuel filter/ checked pick-up in tank for crap (and tank)/ checked banjo bolts for blocked gauzes etc?

    Most likley to be the injector pump, re-con or replace. Was the servicing of the fuel filter kept up to date? Taks are usually fairly tough but they dont like dirty fuel and the bits tend to be dear.
    If it isn't the pump, have you noticed the coolant level dropping when its working? The hg might be gone and it may be steam you are seeing coming out the exhaust but this would be very uncommon on tb135's. moneys on the injector pump tho.

    Sorry. In that case, it will obviously be fuse No. 17 blown, causing excess injection of white smoke:confused: Doesn't really matter if its a tb18456 or a jcb, if it's a diesel, there's a few things that produce smoke. rule em out and fix the culprit.:)

    really meant it was uncommon on Takeuchis!:D Very good diggers and give little if any bother, kinda the hiace of the digger world:) Not sure if it was said before, but have you serviced the engine fully, ie all filters, checked all connections, fresh fluids? Just can't see a tak going majorly wrong:confused:
