You need to have your injection timing checked and adjusted. There is a procedure at my BLOG scanned from the factory manual. Improper ignition timing will cause LOTS of unburnt fuel and lots of black smoke. From reading your other posts, it seems like you have bigger problems though... Pump shaft seal coul dbe bad and you could be sucking in air. See my BLOG- lost of helpful information to wade through...
