the engine should not smoke as much when it is cold. I know on my
old Wanderlodge that it really makes a difference in the amount of
exhaust smoke when I light oft the heater about two hours before I
run the engine. Also with my old 3208 it will keep on smoking till
it get up to running temperatures and then it just seems to go away.
I really like these old 3208's as they seem to be almost bullet proft
and can run forever if the PM's are kept ed up. Jon
