g'day gents,
i joined the cruiser club around 10 months ago with a 1986 2h non turbo troopy which i have been traveling around with for the last few months.
the troops has 460xxx on the clock which i have put around 20k on, the previous owners have a full service history and a heap of receipts for work done, i got it quite cheap and am super happy with the purchase however the old girl has lost power (like i have any to lose!) and is blowing more smoke than usual. the smoke is mostly black but is sometimes grey.
so my first thoughts are injectors, glow plugs or diesel pump.
it starts real easy so i tend to lean away from it being the glow plugs? and am thinking it won't be the pump as i would imagine they would run lean and blow less smoke if the pump lost pressure??
i'm going to do an injector overhaul and replace the plugs at the same time but am wondering if my assumptions are correct or if there could be another issues involved.
any advice would be appreciated!
