Hi
My Defender 200tdi chucks out buckets of thick black smoke under acceleration or full load. Back off and it stops.
I've fiddled with the fuel screw on the pump before and have ended up with no power, or misfiring, or white smoke... I'm a bit loath to touch the pump again! Especially as everything is dusty here.
I wondered if it would burn more diesel and smoke less if I increase the boost? Apparently easy to do by screwing the wastegate rod in, and it might go a little faster ;-)
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
