Why is my Black Diamond Equipment 213823 blowing black smoke?
- DDanielle MendezAug 4, 2025
If the Black Diamond Equipment Portable Generator is emitting black smoke, it could be due to several reasons. The generator might be overloaded, or there could be oil in the cylinder. Contaminated diesel fuel, a fuel injection malfunction, a clogged air filter, or an improper altitude setting could also be the cause. To address this, reduce the load on the generator. Check the oil level and drain any excess from the crankcase. Treat the engine with biocide to resolve fuel contamination. Replace the air filter. It is also recommended to have the generator serviced by a qualified mechanic to inspect or reset the engine fuel system.
