Hi again folks... Sadly I'm reporting the same problem I experienced last year/winter.
On acceleration, from cold, the engine misfires and knocks very loudly and blows out black smoke. This happens for about 3/4 secs until speed has built up. I try and keep this to a minimum by using a very light throttle and until the engine gets to full temp,, were the misfire/pinking almost fully disappears.
I fitted 4 new injectors last summer, this cured the erratic running and misfires, but regrettably its back again now, and in this very cold weather, the pinking has returned!. Driving with a window open the engine sounds like it could seriously damage itself.
I read on another forum that a freebee owner cured his misfire by running on Bio diesel. He, as well as others, found that fuel treatments and potions dont really cure or clean blocked injectors.
When the engine has reached full temp I also experience surging when using very light throttle settings..
I love my FL but the engine has been a real pain in the A##E.....
Has anyone used Bio fuel? And suggestions re pinking/diesel knock.
