Oef, an engine is not build to eat that. Time for total overhaul or still ok?
On the other hand, you are a daily driver

No, still ok. This has happened many times over the years. The lumps are relatively soft. Any soot interference in the valve seats will flatten out after few miles of driving and the engine will run nice and quiet again. Only this time I waited too long and there was more soot in the tb than usual.
For some reason I never experience intake events like this during winter. I think it has something to do with humidity.

I changed oil and filter yesterday on both wife’s Citroen diesel and the pickup. Nothing wrong with it. Oils looked the same. The Volvo and the Fergie are up next for an oil change.
While messing with the intake soot I took the oppertunity to do some additional maintence - flushing all the pipes and some fresh hay. The cyclone has apparently been running full resently. Found a lot of char in both rear tank and the bottom of the hay filter. Fun, fun.

Wow, that’s what I call a flush and charcoal cleanout.

It’s been a while since I made a video. I guess the exhibitionism has worn off a bit
But since we recently discussed how much we enjoy watching other people’s videos, I felt I had to contribute some myself.
Just for the record, I can report that the charbed constipation and valve noice I mentioned both cleared up after only 5 min of driving.
I only wish I wasn’t so slow finding words to my thoughts or the video length could have been cut in half

Hello JO, thanks for the video, you made a good contribution, but you only gave your Mazda half a bag of wood chips, apparently it really runs on fumes.

I love the non complex air mattress pump design. I think I will do this on my Jeep. It seemed to get the gasifier fired up pretty quickly. How about a ride in one of your gasifier car or truck in the beautiful county side.

That’s right. Some fumes are enough for a short trip
See if I can make a sightseeing trip one of these days
