loosing power when I open throttle. Changed air and fuel filter, no change. Also putting out black smoke when it starts running rough and losing power. Thinking about checking fuel pick up in tank. Any help appreciated.
I did take filters out. Still loosing power. Have notice blown oil from a rubber line that looks like it is connected to small radiator on top rear of engine.Pick ups ARE a problem or have been known to be..
Take the AIR filters OUT & run it.. see what happens..
Check the turbo for oil leaks in the air inlet & exhaust pipes..
The black smoke can go 2 ways. Too much fuel or not enough air. Is it puffing black smoke out under load only? Or just from simply raising the RPM to high idle no load?
I'm not familiar with that particular engine but I do know that a failed injector can cause smoke, loss of power and engine vibration. How's the engine oil level on the dipstick? Has it been increasing? Can you smell fuel in the engine oil? Have you taken the temperature at each port on the exhaust manifold? One hole that's colder than the rest will mean there's an injector/injector control issue.
