Does your 1050 series Bolinder Smoke?
John Pattle
informs us that the injectors are fitted in the cylinder head in
copper sleeves. They should
not
be fitted with
copper sealing washers, they are
not required!
The effect of
the washer is to lift the nozzle into the cylinder head,
this causes the spray of fuel to not enter the combustion space
cleanly therefore not mixing/burning properly. This will
tend to cause diesel knock (similar to pinking in a petrol
engine). Over time this will
damage
your motor
waste fuel
and
cause
smoke.
