84 PT40 - Genset Problems

[pattypape]

Just a few suggestions.
Overheating is a real concern, Check the cooling fans, then pull and
service the radiator and cooling system including the thermostat.
This probably will not stop the smoke , some smoke is normal.
change the fuel filters and oil, adjust the valves, this may help.
