SMOOOOKE!

[Ugg013]

Hello:

One other thing since I had an oil/filter and fuel filter change. I now have TONS of smoke (blue/gray) coming out the exhaust. It subsides just a little after start-up, but there's still more than before. There is also a very heavy diesel smell. If it were summer time, I'd be able to earn extra $$$$ working for mosquito abatement. I don't have a turbo. Could I just need a carb adjustment? If so, how?

TIA

No carb to adjust on a multifuel. You have an incurable case of "Non Turbo Smoke". If you want to eliminate the smoke, you will need to install the turbo kit. Contact CraneTruck (Bjorn). He converted his and can give you the low down.

Thanks. It seems that it got worse after the oil change.

It probably wasnt the oil change that did it, so much as the fuel filter change. Your old filters were probably plugged enough that you werent getting all of your fuel. Now that your filters are new, you are getting more fuel to the pump, therefore more smoke out the pipe.

Yo Mike:

That's probably it. By any chance do you have a picture of a turbo installed, or a link to one?

Did you change the air filter also? Could it be restricted and allowing the engine to run rich?

Ken:

Air filter? Air filter? I don't need no stinkin air filter! I knew I forgot something, the Frog needs one. By any chance would you happen to have a NAPA # for one?

NAPA FIL 2837 should do the trick. A word of caution, The air filter canister has no drain. Rain bounces off the fender and into the air intake. After awhile it fills up the canister enough that the filter "wicks" up the water and restricts airflow. After awhile the filter deteriorates enough the paper comes apart and can be sucked into the turbo. I had a close call myself with this one!

i saw a pic of a mod to fix that rain water problem someware, it involved putting a 90 elbow pointed up, a shout peice of tubing then the cap. i think it was cranetruck that posted a p.s. pic of this mod

This is the PS mag version.
My elbow came from a muffler shop, standard size was in stock at the time.

My favorite is when water gets in the exhaust and when I start the deuce up it blows the stuff everywhere even someones car who I dont like .

 

[red devils dude]

NAPA FIL 2837 should do the trick. A word of caution,

the problem is it(napa filter) only flows about 300cfm the spec for the deuce
is 410cfm so the engine chokes a bit at high throttle.

I've got the deep water fording kit. The air intake is above the windshield frame. If i get water in there, i'm some place i should'nt be!!!!!

Jed:

What do you suggest?

Ken:

I like that.

Guys:

Surprise, surprise, it looks like the Frog is a turbo. Of course I can't find any of it's paperwork as the wife rearranged things (again).
