Good evening,
I've had the subject engine for about a year now. After cleaning out the carb and fuel system last year she was running great when I put her to bed last fall. She started up fine this morning and ran great but when coming back down to an idle there was a good amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. The engine was pumping plenty of water through the hose but not out the exhaust. I don't recall if this engine also pumps water out of the exhaust. When I ran her this afternoon I had the same issue. Little to no smoke during idle, ran up the engine and it ran great, but then had white smoke again when bringing it back down to idle. The white smoke slowly subsided over time. I'm worried it may be overheating but friends seems to think it's an oil injection issue. Unfortunately the alarm is not working so I'm left to other diagnostics. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
