After the long saga of my fuel injectors, we ended up just having the original ones sent off for service and reinstalled. The yard did a valve adjustment at that time as well. Now, my engine does this upon starting... it’s always spat the white smoke you’d expect when an old diesel starts, but this seems different. Is that blue smoke, or just more white smoke? Are the new injectors and valve adjustment just pushing more fuel through than the engine can handle?
it clears up after starting when I drop the throttle back to idle. Underway, however, we seem to be making more smoke than we used to, and white smoke while motoring was the reason I embarked on this project in the first place. Seems after all this, it’s worse!
Engine sounds great while motoring and pushes the boat fine otherwise.
