Strange smoke

[brad barton]

Don't know if anyone has had this problem, but my generator apparently "lugged down" for a while.

Yes, I should've used glow plugs, but it had been facing the sun at College Station for hours. It started quickly, then I walked back to the thermostat and toggled through all three zones to change the settings from heat to cool. It took a minute or two to get things started. I went inside the building to take care of business, when someone burst into the restroom and told me my bus was smoking. Diesel smoke black as coal was coming out of the generator roof exhaust.

I immediately shut off the first AC at the cockpit and the generator smoothed out, sped up and the smoke cleared. I had no other trouble and suppose (hope) I didn't do any damage. That has never happened before.

If anyone has any thoughts.....
