Hello all,

My name is Brutus, I own a couple of military vehicles:

    '62 Unimog-S 404.114, ex Swiss Army 2 1/4 ton 4x4 troop transport
    and cargo truck, see http://L1-A.net/unimog for details.

    '75 Tatra 813 Prime Mover, ex East German 8.7 ton cargo, 100 ton
    towing (to tow tank on trailer), with 20 ton central winch, see
    http://L1-A.net/tatra for details.

Currently working on doing a full maintenance of the Tatra and one of the
last adjustments calls for adjustment of the fuel injector pump but the
manual doesn't say how, all it says is "adjust to 50% smoke".

So, not knowing much about diesel engines any thoughts on what would be
meant by "50% smoke" ?

For reference it's a 75 degree V12 air cooled diesel, 1077cu (17.64L)
250 hp @ 2000 RPM, 709 ft/lbs @ 1200 RPM.

Thanks in advance.
