I am getting a fair amount of white smoke from the exhaust of my reconditioned Bukh DV24 engine. Please can someone give me a set of practical steps to identify the issue!
I installed the engine 2 years ago. It generally sounds very good, and starts first time, although sometimes slightly sluggish to get going.
It didn't smoke initially but has got worse, and really increases with more throttle.
I haven't used the boat very much in the last couple of years. The diesel in the fuel tank is probably a year old.
I am on a swinging mooring and bring her out in December. Is it best to address this now or once back on dry land (when it’s colder and likely to exacerbate the white smoke)? A series of starter steps to help narrow things down would be very helpful.
Many thanks for any help. Toby
