            Grey smoke is unburned fuel from incomplete combustion.

            Most noticeable during cold starts Black smoke comes from

            two different scenarios: 1) too much fuel for a given amount

            of combustion air. 2) Not enough combustion air to support

            a given amount of fuel.

            I suggest you first check to make sure your air filter is clean

            and unrestricted (that is probably okay since we are only dealing

            with one cylinder). Do a compression or leak down test on all

            cylinders – remove all injectors when performing this test.

            You say all the injectors tested good, what does the test report

            reveal?
