Black Smoke, What does it mean?

Greetings All,

I've got perhaps a dumb question, but I'm asking it anyways. What does black smoke coming out the tailpipe mean to the operator of a diesel engine at a no-load condition running flat?

If my survey answers don't fit the bill, please elaborate in a post.

Thanks,

Charles
