How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep area ventilated and avoid breathing exhaust.

  • Step 1 – Replace air filter: Install a new Kipor‑approved air filter element and ensure the airbox is sealed properly.
  • Step 2 – Reduce load: Temporarily reduce load to see if smoke decreases. Persistent black smoke at low load indicates fueling issues.
  • Step 3 – Fuel system check: Have injectors tested and cleaned or replaced if they are leaking or dribbling. Verify injection timing per Kipor specifications.
