Stus-List Diesel Injectors

If you're looking at blue smoke it's not as likely to be the injectors. Injectors usually get linked to black smoke / an overly rich mixture. Blue smoke is more likely compression related or somehow the lube oil blows by the rings and burns (It seals-up as the metal expands upon warming up) But

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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? Dan

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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 the

My 4 cyl Yanmar (non turbo) has begun to smoke a lot more when first starting. It is a blue smoke that mostly goes away when it warms up. It starts very easily and runs smoothly with good power. I would love to hear your opinions of possible problems and cures. Fred Hazzard S/V Fury C 44 Portland

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Brent, 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

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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. Brent. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 1, 2017, at 8:01 PM, Jerome Tauber via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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. Brent 27-5 Wild Rover Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 1, 2017, at 7:24 PM, Jerome Tauber via CnC-List > wrote: > > There is no coolant. It's raw water cooled. Jerry

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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

The 1GM10 is fresh water cooled with no heat exchanger. I'm really hoping it's not a head gasket. Would there not be water in the oil sump if the gasket were blown? Brent 27-5 Wild Rover. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 1, 2017, at 5:06 PM, Gary Russell via CnC-List >

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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? Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI,

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

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

Re: Stus-List Diesel injectors

Send the injectors to a diesel repair shop.  They know what they are doing. Frank On Friday, March 31, 2017 9:06 PM, Brent Driedger via CnC-List wrote: Greetings all. The 1GM10 Yanmar on my 27 began to give me issues last summer. The usual complaints, hard

Stus-List Diesel injectors

Greetings all. The 1GM10 Yanmar on my 27 began to give me issues last summer. The usual complaints, hard starting, ran well once it was going. I replaced the filter in the fall and my next move is to replace the old fuel and clean the tank. But judging from the white smoke in the exhaust I'm
