I didn't watch the video but white smoke can be an indicator of water or other contaminates in the fuel (coolant etc.)...white smokes means the fuel is not burning hot enough...

Is the engine surging on its own like that or are you revving it up and down?

Head gasket leak in one of the three cylinders - but what were the symptoms that drove the pump and injector replacement?

The tractor was abandoned on some property I bought. Been sitting somewhere around 6-8 years. Fuel pump was locked down and injectors gummed up.
Engine was surging on its on. I wasn’t doing anything.
It has clean fuel but I did put a diesel additive in it. Maybe too much for the small tank. May drain that out and refill with diesel only.

Unless you've completely drained the tank and changed the filters, it likely has water in the tank. Adding clean fuel will not remove the water problem.

HOLY SMOKES !!
Copied from my post at Hoye tractors forum...
Well. After our online Easter service. I decided to pull the exhaust manifold. Smoke was coming from the #2 cylinder pretty good. #1 was clean and #3 slight smoke. So... for kicks I swapped the injectors around... now smoke from #1 and #2 but #3 is clear. Seems one injector is working better than the others but it doesn’t clear up the #2 cylinder. #2 has unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust port.
The pump is new from Hoye. I used factory shims. Wondering if it is shimmed correctly for this pump?
I like tinkering but I am ready to move on to other parts of the tractor.
