Well im having issues with the engine on my Gama Goat. Im a pretty crappy diesel mechanic and could use some advice.
-The engine is very hard to start in any weather but cranks fine after its been run for the rest of the day.
-When you first start it you get allot of white smoke that dissapates after it warms up. When your driving it the engine has allot of black smoke when it is strained. LOTS...
-Its had some bad diesel in it before when it sat for a few years and the injectors may be clogged or dirty but im not sure.
-Top speed is slower than it should be but it has pleanty of low end power.
I think Im having a fuel problem and have dirty injectors or something related but im not knowledgable enough about diesels to be sure. Im not sure what the symptoms the engine is telling me may mean and i dont want to rebuild the whole engine if i dont have to.
any help would be appreciated......
