eng shutters and makes white smoke when cold!

This was my complaint last year, when the temp got below about 45*

this year it has hit it , and gone below that, with out a bit of shutter,shake or white smoke when cold!

the fix? well Dave,....and eather told us all that advacing the time would help!
I bump the timing only 1/16" but it was in the summer and has proven, to erase the white smoke probem!...........Now if i would only put some new valve seal in it. I could get rid of the blue smoke at start up!

this one will be much much harder...........there's no performace advantage to adding or replacing valve seals

I think you need a KSB, should be a part number at the top.

No it works, .....it just don't turn on soon enuff (temp) when its cold it works allmost to good with the timeing bumped!
saposidlyl the updated black box has a little diff KSB/ temp actavation in it but ya know the old saying........if its not broke....make it faster!!!!!!! no no, that not it a.....if it not broke don't fix it! ya ya thats it!!

I probably should get my test light out and dubble check the power or lack of it when cold and pressent when hot.........but i now it work, i can fill and hear it when the timing is held up or advaced by the KSB.

note: this is a non intercooled eng and KSB
