The device in the intake is a thermostart. What it does when activated by voltage is that it allows fuel to enter the device and heats it up into a vapor which asists in cranking. Lots of times the valve in this unit goes bad and leaks a steady stream of fuel into the intake and causes excess smoking. The line should always have fuel in it. The unit is a little expensive and people tend to block them off when they fail. Hope this helps. Diesel Dan (the pump man) O---[o{]
