so your are saying you shimed your stock springs for better tension, right? i have heard of this but much better to get the right new springs. i would take it apart and put new springs in. if that does not correct the problem i would check timing or could be a bad injector. white smoke usually means raw fuel. hope this helps keep us posted!!!:

what happens is this, and i speak from experience.
if the washer is not seated correctly the nut and top spring seat will not go all the way back to where it needs to go. doing this will allow it to catch parts in the pump. in my case it bound the springs in the inspection hole, bent the governor assembly, broke it and spun the timing gear on the injection pump shaft.
so, my suggestion is remove the washers, pay someone to advance your timing, pay $95 or however much vendors are charging now days for the 3K GSK and know it is done right.
the "free GSK" trick i installed on that friends truck cost me ~$1700 when it was all said and done.....
