RE: Engine wear

[Geordie Smith]

Dpends on the colour of the smoke.   If it's white then It's a fuel issue, if it's blue then it's a mechanical oil-related issue.   I'd say that you have just a rush of rich mixture and when you take your foot off it you are getting too much fuel... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Richardson Sent: Friday, 15 September 2000 11:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Engine wear Hi list   Could somebody please offer a diagnosis on my L18?  It blows a decent puff of smoke during gearchanges if driven hard-ish (changing at 5000rpm).  Otherwise not smokey at all.  What is likely to be wrong and what would it cost to fix?   Thanks!   - Tom --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
