  One bad injector is probably the problem.  White smoke, 
even blueish white can be unburned fuel (partially burned 
fuel is black, unburned is white).  A stream injector can eat 
glow plugs, pistons and such so if it's known bad it REALLY 
needs fixed and will probably fix the problem.  It'll over fuel as 
well as leave residual fuel in the combustion chamber to rattle 
and overrun.
  Rings could be stuck from sitting and adding extra oil also but 
with pulling the breather hose not making a difference, runaway 
doesn't sound like the absolute problem.  Pump could be a little 
sticky also.  Multiple small problems?
