White 2-105 fine tuning.

So the old girl runs good and now just buttoning up leaks and it's very smokey engine. It's fun to roll coal but it's not helpful for efficiency although it's still fantastic on fuel but it needs some tuning and I'm unsure whare to start... Timing? Fuel settings inside the pump? Injectors?

Fuel pump has definitely been opened and settings changed.

I attached a picture its very smokey but does run really well and sounds good. Would like to improve it though if possible.

If it was me and its running good and pulling good I would leave it alone. I have ran a lot of those Perkins 354 and 372 engines in Oliver, White tractors and Massey combines. They get some hours on them and they like to smoke at idle. Never had a issue finding a Massey combine out in the field behind the hills just look for the smoke in the sky. You could rebuilt the pump and injectors and it will probably still smoke. Those old Perkins weren't bad on fuel they just liked to smoke. If its starting good and not using a ton of oil the motor is good and the pump and injectors are good. Most of the Perkins I had took a quart to a gallon of oil in hundred hours. We ran Massey combines with Perkin engines in them for twenty years and only ever had one injection pump go bad and it just needed resealed up.

It leaks bad and it hunts up and down is the main thing the injection pump that is.
