The car is driving smoothly and it is having power but it is smoking. the smoke is white and is not too much.it is giving out smoke during the first and a second gear. I changed the valves.

A second problem occurred when i sprayed the carburetor with a carburetor cleaner,i sprayed it whilst revving it hoping that it will stop smoking but instead it lost power. now i have to do a lot of downshifting.

Hello,

White smoke from your vehicle's exhaust is usually a sign that it is burning coolant in the combustion chambers. We don't have any data on your vehicle, probably because it is not sold in the USA market, but here is a link that explains what is going on:

It is a generic guide but you can easily use the guide to what is going on with your vehicle. Please go through it and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
