For what It's worth. I have just finished installing a big front mount IC on my TD42 GQ with 3" piping and before the tune it was slightly hard to start on cold mornings, little bit of smoke and needed to choke it for 10 seconds.

Just had it tuned and all good again...

What did you set pump timing at?

Have you checked your steel lines and the tank pickup?

Have you replaced the copper washers on the inlet of the pump?

I have not seen a diesel engine with a choke before , what is that all about?

Its not really a choke, more of a throttle control. I'll put up a pic tonight mate.
