Oil & Fuel Ford 1900 emitting more black soot out exhaust stack

[thomsir]

Hi,

I am noticing an increase in large (0.1mm-1.0mm) black soot particles under normal use. Before I start worrying about expensive fuel injection, any advice on how to diagnose and fix? I'm between seasons right now and plan to give her a general service including cleaning the air filter.

Thanks

Actually, NOW may be the time to clean or replace the air filter. Without enough air combustion can become really dirty as it's incomplete.

Check the airfilter.

+1. air filter and pre filter

Also how do you operate your machine? Load it good frequently, get it up to temperature long enough to burn the moisture out of things? Do you use additives in your.....fresh, clean, diesel?

Thanks all, I gave the tractor a general service including a good cleaning of the air filter. It's running much better / cleaner. The tractor gets used about 50 hours total - a few hours at a time - in fall and winter, and generally sits over spring, summer, so I will keep the tank full and add an additive.

It sounds like you where starting to burn out the wet stacking. You need to run it harder for longer.
