But more immediate I want to stop Olive smoking
Olive is a 34ft Colvic Watson with a Perkins 6/534 engine - 6 cylinders 120 HP.
She has always since I've owned been on the smoky side but seems to be gradually getting worse.
I had the injectors taken out and serviced by a diesel specialist. One injector was replaced.
It made little or no difference.
The engine doesn't burn an excessive amount of oil and doesn't appear to lose water although it does run a bit hot if running high power for a long period.
When I say smoiking I means a sizable cloud of light coloured smoke drifting across the marina when I fire up. Reduces a bit when warned up but even at tickover here is more than any other boat.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
