more problems

Went out and got about 1 1/2 cords of firewood and on the way back seemed to loose lots of power and smoke lots of black exhaust. Any ideas.

Was this green firewood? That's a pretty good load, you definitely gonna know it's back there.

No it is not green. it is all dead standing pine. I have sides that are 18" above the top of the cab and it is heaped above that. I actually just got back from delivering this load. On the way out there i was floored in forth gear at 10psi and could just barely hold 55 on flat ground. Something is wrong. I am wondering about injectors.

Simple things first when was the last time you checked the air and fuel filters.

what type of fuel filter does everybody recommend and not recommend, not sure if that is the problem but i have no idea how old it is and it could probably use a new one.

A member just reported a new filter he pickuped at autozone came apart on the inside, it was there house brand. I would stay away from them for sure. IIRC he said it was built by champion.
