Generator Help - Blue Smoke
The generator in my motorhome is 20 years old. It has been used infrequently and only has about 384 hours on the meter. It is a Kohler 5kw Confidant.
The good news first. The generator starts easily and runs smoothly. I'm able to put a large load on the generator and it does well producing electricity.
Now the bad news. The generator has a very small oil leak that I cannot detect the source because the generator is encased in a tight area with virtually no access. The more serious issue is the smoke coming out the exhaust pipe. What could be the cause of the exhaust smoke and how fixable would it be?
Thanks in advance for reading this post and I look forward to all ideas, suggestions & comments.
