If I run it for too long (15 mins or so) with the throttle near all the way up it very slowly works its way up to over heating. If I throttle down near the bottom it will cool back down towards the middle of the guage after a little while. Its also been running a little rough with the throttle too low. Had some very thick grass after getting a couple weeks straight of rain every day so had to run it pretty hard to get anywhere. (This is my first diesel, suggestions on what to look into to get it running ideal again would be appreciated)
If I run it til it gets near the top of the green and then shut it off(about a quarter inch or so away from the end of) still well within safe operating temp, water will start boiling out of the overflow.
Its not low on water. Its right where it should be. Is this a bad thermometer? Or what else should I look into?
As far as under performing, as mentioned its not doing well at low to mid range throttle. Seems any bit of thick grass will slow it down and make it blow a bit of smoke(black). Also simply going up a the bank of a steep ditch is giving it trouble as well where it didnt before. Im not real familiar with diesels and dont really know where to start to fix this problem. I wouldnt know if this is something as simple as adjusting a screw or adding some fuel additive or if its more along the lines of a tune up or maybe a bad injector or something..
Thanks
