    New high pressure pump and smaller nozzle installed. Smokes for about 10-15 minutes at startup. What could cause this?

    After warmed up, clears up

    Thanks

    Morning, I want to follow up on this post. Had a nice chat with John and found a common problem which is easily fixed.

    He had not run the burner regularly. I find this often and it results in the diesel on the nozzle congealing resulting in the smoking, unburned fuel.

    The solution is two fold. First, service the burner which includes a new nozzle. Second, RUN the burner ONCE per month, year round, no excuses. This keeps fresh diesel on the nozzle allowing it to fire with no smoke or smell for 2 or maybe 3 years before burner service is necessary again.

    Very happy to meet John and assist him. All the best to you all.

    Appreciate Rudy’s time and expertise.

    Without the folks on the forum, I could not maintain my coach nor afford to visit dealer to keep it up.

    Mr Rudy is as good as they come, I’ve followed his advice and not had a Webasto issue for years.

    Agree! Have had the privilege to meet Rudy in person on two occasions. He is a GENUINE expert in his field and a wonderful person!
