306 diesel problems
Hiya,
First post - I've got a 306 XLD here, which has been kinda problematic since I got it. It's slow, smokey, and not too keen on starting when cold. I was changing the throttle cable earlier today, and I noticed that, when it was leaking diesel from the carb.
Now, this got me thinking - could this leak be the cause of its problems? I'd put most of its woes down to a worn engine (it's at 110K - not a massively high milage for a diesel - my dad's got a 205D, and it's done 150k and rising!), but I figure it could be down to a leak in the carb - it could be letting in too much air, degrading performance, producing white smoke, I guess...Anyone got any ideas on this one?
Cheers!
Kit
