Cold Start Issues
Here's a video...
It always acts like this in the cold, but occasionally it pops and pours out white smoke in the higher rpms when i get on it...
when it's cold it sounds like a petrol engine rev-limited around 3000rpm... bounces 3000-3100rpms...

Thats a great way to blow a headgasket. Thats also about the worst move you could make with a cold truck.
First of all, Plug it up!
Adjust your timing and run a good additive. It's an old manual pump truck, If it runs fine warm I would worry about it, but a cold rev like that is HARD on one!

it occasionally does it when warm as well... in the over 2600-2800rpm range...
And i can't plug it up because the block heater is 110V and in Iceland we have 220V...
Ohhhhhhh....Iceland...Just caught that Lol.
Well then, I would say timing, and check the governor springs. Have you installed a GSK yet?
I'm sure they probably have some block heaters that will work for your use!

no i havent installed a GSK, i was looking at running 4k GSK with the 60lb springs... but i bet i will be going for 3k GSK.... i can rev it to 3400rpm when idling though ??? maybe someone installed a GSK in it before i got it :P
It will continue to rev, but not continue to fuel. When pulling it will stop fueling well before 3400 RPM. That pop and crack is pretty common in a cold truck. Timing can help with it quite a bit, and some say it's an injector issue. I would start by checking the timing and ALWAYS let it reach atleast 150 before reving like that and 190F before boosting it hard!
