Black smoke from diesel engines on starting and/or running tends to mean there is fuel leaking into the engine, or the fuel mix is incorrect and not atomised correctly. The main causes are normally a nakered air filter that isn't letting enough clean air into the engine to mix with the diesel, a blocked fuel filter, which is either not letting enough fuel in, or in some cases, a faulty fuel filter which is letting too much diesel into the engine, and causing black smoke due to excess burning. The last cause could be the engine's fuel injector which should normally create a fine mist spray of diesel to be burnt. if its faulty it could either not be spraying enough fuel into the chamber, or too much.
