I have an 84 international 1654 with a 6.9 that I haul logs with. The truck is always tough to get started mst of the time I have to use starting fluid sometimes if I just turn it off for a few mins and other times it’ll start right back up. It blue smokes awful on startup. But usually runs great and I can haul 1500mbf of logs with it through the hills of WV with no real trouble. But today it started missing, black smoke poured and it lost power. Got to the top of the hill pulled off it cleared up. Ran fine 10 more miles was pulling another hill it done it again, then it cleared up. As I went on the problem would come and go I got unloaded and coming back on level ground it still intermittently missed and black smoked. It seemed to be worse at crushing speeds with only a little throttle more than WOT or barley hitting the fuel. Does that sound like an injector sticking open or what
