Fred:
Give Norm Gustafson a call (360) 823-6357. He used to be in charge of big
diesels (Catapiller) locally, and he taught a diesel class when he was a
member of RCYC. He can give you advice over the phone, and if you want him
to work on your engine, he'll do a good job.

On Tue,
My Yanmar in my C emits a small cloud of white smoke when I first turn
it over after sitting idle for weeks or months, but never blue or black
smoke. My engine had a partial rebuild in 2007 which may have eliminated
some of the issues of an aging diesel...
I hope that's helps in some way?

Have you checked your air cleaner/muffler for oil saturation? My engine
has had slightly elevated blowby which caused more oil to be pushed past
the separator screen in the valve cover. The oil is drawn back into the
engine by intake suction during normal ops. When the engine was shut down

Hi Fred
Our 3 cyl yanmar had all three injectors rebuilt 20 months ago. The engine
would puff out a cloud of black smoke when starting and then run fine with no
smoke after that. This was the case before rebuilding the injectors and is
still the case after the rebuild. When I asked our

I have had a Yanmar YSB12 for 15 years now, and one thing I have had
to re-learn a few times is don't be too quick to dismiss the possibility of a
cooling water supply issue. Just because you can see water coming out the
exhaust does not mean that there is enough. The culprit
Thanks Jerry,
An electric motor would be great for racing but a retrofit like that is far
from within my budget these days. I'll get by with the existing setup as long
as I can.

If water is getting into cylinder that could explain the hard start. When
engine heats up water is turned to steam and engine will run but with steam in
exhaust. If water is getting into crank case you will see it in dip stick as
honey like clumps. You can often hear a blown gasket as well.
Thanks for the terminology correction, yes, it's raw water cooled. It's just a
wee single cylinder unit.

Depends on where the leak in the head gasket is. If it's between a coolant
passage and a cylinder, then you would see the evidence in the exhaust. If
the gasket leak is between a coolant passage and an oil return, then you
would see it in the oil. The best advice is to watch the coolant level

not a head gasket. Would there not be water in the oil sump if the gasket were
blown?

Not to be an alarmist, but white smoke usually means a coolant leak, such
as a blown head gasket. Take a sniff of the exhaust. If it has a sweet
smell, you've got an internal coolant leak. Is your coolant level going
down, with no apparent leak?

You can remove the injector from the block. Turn it upside down, reconnect
to the fuel pipe, turn the engine over until the injector starts to spray.
Pop, pop, pop. Watch the spray pattern. It should be a clean, wide cone
pattern, equally aerated, fine mist. This is a test you should do before
Send the injectors to a diesel repair shop. They know what they are doing.
