Powertech Generator -- Fixed... Air Filter

[Pete Masterson]

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.
