the above is an old lady and very difficult to start. compression ok,
new injector and injector pump, replaced diesal fuel. will start by use
of easy start and there after tick over ok. lots of smoke and carbon or
oily discharge when run at full revs.

any ideas.

have already had the suggestion of the exhaust being partially blocked
but have not taken this futher.

Smoke at full revs is probably overloading if it's not smoking at
moderate loads.

The starting could simply be a weak battery or undersized cabling,
particularly as the temperature drops.
