Hello,
Our single 2005 6LY2AN-STP, which has 3100 hours, has been well taken care of but this winter started smoking when cranked.
I had rotator cuff surgery and my wife had her Hip replaced so our boat needless to say has been at the dock for 6 months, but I run her every 10 days.
I've read that if its blue-ish smoke its oil, but I've also read/been told that a bad injector could cause unburnt fuel issues which is also a blue-ish smoke.
I also noticed a sheen of oil or fuel, cant tell, on the water coming from the exhaust.
I was advised the oil is probably from an internal turbo seal going bad, (allowing oil past) but if its un-burnt fuel its probably from a bad injector.
How does one pick a starting point to diagnose?
PS- that's me, on the front, trying to land my new to me drone like an idiot...lol?
