If it's a Cat it's probably a 3208. If its a 903 it is a Cummins V8 which is common in Newells of that vintage. Any diesel of that era willsmoke on start-up. There's blue smoke,white smoke,black smoke and any combination of those three. It is impossible to diagnose a problem just based on whether it smokes or not.
