Hello gents !

My paguro 4000 genset with the faryman 18w smokes white . It gets worse when fully warmed up but keeps to be "light" white smoke , so no thick clouds of it . It looks like steam .

Genny starts and runs fine , no water in oil

Any ideas how to diagnose if its the injector nozzle or headgasket ?

Thank you for any hints . !

A compression test would show if it's a head gasket,....

With a diesel my guess it's unburt fuel, because if it was water there would expect to see bent con rods
