I know it doesn't have a carb, just trying to have some fun.
It's running ever so slightly rough at idle, and smokes when started cold. Only 100 hrs on it. Sound like it needs injector service already or is this all normal?

At 100 hours you are probably due for a fuel filter change, and if it's as dry wherever you are as it is here, you probably should check your air filters also.

Kinda just sounds like a normal cold weather start for a diesel to me.

Also remove and look at the spark arrestor. It may be starting to plug. If you really don't have any drangers of starting a grass or leaf fire take it off and store it.

While you are looking at your clogged spark arrestor, break out the cut off wheel and remove it. Place in trash.

The smoke on cold start up is normal.

Thanks,

Spark arrestor got "lost" about a month ago. Surprised it was running at all by the looks of it.
