Powertech Generator -- Fixed... Air Filter
I guess I wasn't clear ... white smoke that clears after a short time
at sea level. (Well, California coast level, any way.) I've seen the black smoke at elevation before -- but it's just a light soot, not quite the impressive clouds I was seeing yesterday. Doesn't seem to have burned any oil... it was well above the add mark (just below the full mark) last night when I changed the air filter. I have a receipt that some work was done on the generator by the previous owner -- but it doesn't (clearly) state what was done. I note a "new" looking injector (it's brassy color) while all the others are gray painted. Pete Masterson '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 aeonix1@...
