 I still don't think black smoke means it's running rich.
 If you are given a limited amount of air, it requires a certain amount of diesel to make it accelerate at a certain speed.

 If you had a turbo and could add more air you could achieve the same speed with less smoke,.. but with the amount of air provided, that's how much fuel it takes to accelerate at that speed,.. often enough to make black smoke.

 I don't see that as running rich, just using what's required for that rate of acceleration, given a set amount of air.

Doubt it.

If he does I will not let bickering happen between people if I am on...for him or anyone for that matter. Once it gets beyond intellectual it will be stopped.

FWIW I hope many new members come and offer what they have.

So if he is back, is it going to be acceptable for him to either declare other people's thread topics closed, or be able to make threads disjointed by erasing comments, unless directed by moderators?

I was never a moderator and never will be (although I was asked to be one more than once).  Mark, I would personally appreciate it if you would stop spouting nonsense about me, calling me names, misquoting me and outright lying about me.  I never closed or deleted anyone else's topics, ever.  As far as I know, EVERYONE can delete their own posts if they want to and always have been able to.  I am not and have not been angry.  I am not aware of any time any moderator on this forum ever deleted or modified any of my posts although I modified many even before I deleted ALL of them.  Mark, you (and a select few others) behaved poorly enough when I was here previously to make it UN-FUN enough for me to leave and then you gripe about me leaving and have been acting like a jilted ex ever since I left.  Grow up and let it go already.  Please leave me out of any further posts.  I have no intention of posting further in this thread again or really any other except for the For Sale/Wanted forum which was my only interest in opening another account.

Out of respect for Libbybapa, this thread is getting the lock. Let's move on with our lives.
