3208 excessive cold start start-up smoke - b19801973 - 04-11-2006 06:25
After sitting a couple of months I started up the 300hp 3208 and got
excessive white smoke and the engine was not as smooth as normal. This
lasted only two or three miles and now all is back to normal smoke on
the start ups. Any thoughts as to what might have caused this.

Air in the fuel column. It will clear out with use.

Jack that is a normal thing when the Coach has been down a bit. Also the
oi8l washed a little around the rings, not a problem.

Perhaps some sticky valves causing incomplete combustion?
