    good evening looking for suggestions or possible diagnosis

    My Kholer 6.5 genie puffed out a pile of white smoke Last Friday eve while at anchor. I immediately thought impeller and shut her down. On quick inspection impeller is fine. Fired it back up. Started and ran fine however was spewing a gas like residue from the exhaust. Shut her back down. Checked for compression. 150 on both sides so not head gasket. Oil is not milky so no water. Looking for ideas

    Sorry haven't been online for awhile. Found the root of my problem ended up being a faulty coil. Runs like a dream now. Unfortunately in our part of the world will be pulling in a few weeks. Season is way too short
