My friends 1960 Massey 65 diesel misses at idle.
It spits, sputters, and throws white smoke, but as soon as it is under load it runs fine. Pulls great, good power alll over rpm range. What could it be? Thanks Aaron

I hate to tell you this, but the 4A-203 engines were notorious for cracking heads. The later AD4-203s were much improved. Hope that isn't your problem.

Hi

I had same problem..the engine had also tendency to stall at idle... I asked an old diesel mechanic
he said that may be some water or moisture caused
little rust in the injection pump mechanism.

He said drain all the filters to be sure there is no
water in the lines (you will have to prime the system after doing that). After restarted the engine
put 8 oz of 2 stroke engine oil per fuel tank for
few fills. I my case after aprox one hour running as per his instructions trouble dissapeared and it
still run perfectly.

That was my story yours may be different...
But the test was not expensive.....

Just my 2¢ story

Yep
