What causes white smoke and misfire on a Perkins tractor?
It is possible that anything which causes low compression can cause incomplete burning of the fuel, as the diesel engine works by compression ignition. For that reason, Jock should also look at the condition of the valves.
What are the signs of a Perkins engine failure?
You may already be aware, but if you are in tune with your Perkins engine, it will generally give you advance warning if something isn’t quite right. For instance, there might be more smoke than normal, blue smoke, increased fuel consumption or a slightly different engine noise.

What can I do about blue smoke coming from my diesel engine?
Running your engine to the recommended service and maintenance schedule; replacing gaskets, filters and other consumables when recommended, will significantly reduce the chances of blue smoke appearing. Perkins has a wealth of knowledge about diesel engines amassed through 85 years of research, development and testing of its own models.
Where do the cylinders come out of a Perkins tractor?
The two front cylinders come out of the one front hole, but you can sometimes differentiate between the two front cylinders if you look carefully enough. Personally I rarely think that cutting valves by hand is good enough.
