Thank you Dan for your most logical and relevant explanation . In the good old days all WDM2 used to smoke a lot. Now it seems that changes have been made to the governor and even if the LP notches up like crazy the governor cuts out the sudden spurt in oil injection. In this particular oil burner that we see in the picture the governor for some reason has not cut out the sudden spurt in oil injection. Or it could be any of the reasons that have already been mentioned.
