The temperature was mid 40's.How cold was the ambient temp?
I have noticed a bit of smoke on startup in 2 conditions:
1) when we didn’t run the gen at least once a month
2) when it is “colder”
The more regularly we run the gen, the easier/faster/cleaner it starts.
Once, when bored, was reading the owners manual - discovered that Onan states the gen should be run at least once a month for a couple hours. Hmmm, wasn’t doing that before, but we now have a reminder on the calendar to run it if needed.
Any recommendations?Run some injector cleaner in your fuel. Both engines will like it. Methinks you have a slightly leaky injector. Once it starts and pressures up and starts making horsepower the smoke goes away.
My friend is sold on sea foam. While we are making suggestions, may be valve guide seals.Any recommendations?
