The usual idle RPM for a diesel engine typically ranges between 600 to 800 RPM, depending on the engine design and application. In some heavy-duty diesel engines, the idle speed may be set slightly higher, around 900 RPM, to ensure proper lubrication and cooling. It's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact idle RPM for a specific engine model.
Their injection pump is set too rich, and lets more diesel into the engine than the engine can burn. The partially/badly burned diesel is what comes out as black smoke.
One can set an injector for a 320 diesel marine engine by setting the timing and duration.
To set the engine idle for a 350 engine, first, ensure the engine is at normal operating temperature. Then, locate the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor or throttle body and turn it to increase or decrease the idle speed as needed. Typically, the idle speed should be between 600 and 800 RPM for a 350 engine, but consult the owner's manual for specific recommendations. Finally, recheck the idle speed after adjustments and make sure the engine runs smoothly without stalling.

A diesel engine ignites it's fuel through compression and has no spark plugs. A gasoline engine has 1 or 2 spark plugs in each cylinder that fires at a set time and ignites the fuel. A diesel engine typically has much more torque than a gasoline engine and is designed to pull a heavy load. A gasoline engine will accelerate faster than a diesel but the diesel will have much more torque and be able to pull much heavier loads. A diesel engine will last much longer than a gasoline engine as it is built much heavier. Modern diesels are fairly quiet and make almost no more noise than a gas engine especially off idle.
There are several things that could cause this. The first thing to investigate, though, is the idle speed your engine is set at. As with any engine, if the idle is set too low, the engine will not continue running.
To start timing on the 2C Turbo diesel engine, you will have to locate or distinguish camshaft timing marks.
The IAC valve is just that...The Idle Air Control Valve. It is responsible for keeping the idle at set parameters. And yes, it can make the engine idle at high RPM.
one of the main reasons an engine runs on or diesels can be related to the fact that it is idling too fast. Set the idling down and see if this imporoves
