Kipor Overfueling / Restricted Air Intake

Black smoke from exhaust and loss of power under load

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged air filter, Stuck fuel injector, Incorrect fuel pump timing, Turbocharger issue (if equipped)

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.
