I recently bought a bigger excavator at auction and I'm seeing lots of black smoke out the exhaust when I'm under load. I'm thinking it's probably the turbo but, curious if you guys have other ideas? It still has decent power, I'm able to dig with it and yank trees out of the ground, it doesn't really bog down, just smokes. At idle, it sounds a little like it's got a hot cam in it also, kind of lopes. Any thoughts?
