Oil & Fuel Running Sluggish

[viper318]

I have changed the fuel filters and fuel. When i start it up and give it more gas, it starts to run sluggish and is putting out white smoke. Is there something i'm missing? Is the pump going bad? Can anyone help.

Check your fuel line for an air leak or maybe an obstruction due to being pinched.

Thanks for the info. I have already taken all the fuel lines off and blow them out. All lines are good.

How clean is your air filter?

I blew the filter off and nothing didn't come off. Filter looked pretty clean. I have taken the main air line off to the air filter can and started it that way. Still nothing.

viper318, what type of gas engine?

Check and see what kind of fuel flow you have from the tank. Been alot of problems with debris in the tank screen.

 

[viper318]

Diesel.

Thanks for the suggestion civesnedfield. I will check the tank out to see if there is any trash.

Easiest way to tell on mine is to remve the filter then open the shut off valve. If you have a weak fuel stream then the strainer is clogged.
