Brutus,
Welcome to our list! Tatra! Cool! I love watching the "BIG TRUCKS"
during the Paris-Dakar! I want one too. They are not too common
in the U.S.
Our F-350 must pass an "Opacity test" during emmissions. I think
that reads the particulates in the exhaust. Maybe that is what
"50% smoke" means.
Good Luck,
Lisa

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.
