Not So Pro 3

[Sagebrush33]

Morning / Evening All.

75F with 89% humidity at5am this morning. Going for a walk felt like I was drowning…

We need water falling from the sky desperately. Cattle producers are out of places to graze herds and dugouts are dry.

What's new slackers? Been working on a Lawnboy here. Paid $40 for it not running. Got it running after cleaning the carb in the ultrasonic and putting it back together. Idle is still erratic but I think it really needs carb kit, crank seals and a some tuning.

I'm sure @Slumberjack can quote the a/f ratio but to me, in a diesel, bulk excess smoke is excess heat my engines can do without. Mild and long lasting for the kiwi fulla.

Yep spot on. A diesel runs at a very wide range of air fuel ratios. Maybe 17 to one to 100 to one. When cruising/idling. Some maybe 14 to one under serious load. But if you see smoke sustained that means heat and lost power for sure like you say.
