Title: New pump.... Lots of smoke
Post by: caykroyd on February 07, 2017, 06:33:59 pm
I read a bunch about smoke and am confused about a couple things. 

I have white/grey smoke at cold and idle which clears up once engine warms up.  I think I've read this is ok, correct?

Then of acceleration (even moderate) I get a bunch of black smoke.  So I know I can turn down the fuel screw, but I like the power ;-).  Are there other options to reduce the smoke?

Thirdly, this seems weird to me.... At high cruising speed, I don't have smoke, but when I let off the pedal to slow down I get a huge plume of smoke.  This seems counterintuitive to me.  Does this make sense?  Is this a symptom of something other that just running too rich?  Why would this happen?

BTW, it is a Giles 1.6NA pump.

Maybe try contacting giles... The guy who built you the pump..
 And if the smoke is thick and black you better have a egt gauge installed or you are likely to melt the pistons.

Performance Diesel Injection in Ontario, Canada is his business. That's the easiest way to contact him.
