A diesel engine that smokes needs to be serviced. Something is wrong
when that happens unless it's a temporary condition while
accelerating.


Mine smoke when cold, especially in cold weather. (Volvos). Frankly, I
don't think I've ever seen a diesel that doesn't smoke a little when cold.
Once they warm up the smoke goes away. It's done that since new. Of
course, we don't have the luxury of having the boat sit in 80 degree water
up here.

The GB smokes more when cold and takes longer to clear. With over 6000 hrs
on the little Ford- Lehman, I can cut it some slack.

Wha happen, did someone turn off the heat?

6,000 hour Lehmans are allowed to smoke a little at start up, usually
blue smoke.

We looked at a Hatt 53 over in Jupiter 4 years ago that was still
killing mosquitos a mile away 30 minutes after start up. I'm sure the
neighbors were glad to see that one sell.
