"The engine was running OK when the boat was lifted in August 2009. At this time a full service was carried out including fuel filters. However, in November 2009 I tried to start the engine without success. The fuel system was bled and diesel is reaching the injectors. After several minutes of trying I noticed puffs of white smoke coming from the air filter intake. I suspected a stuck valve so removed the rocker cover and checked. But the valve gear all appears to be running smoothly. I have given up trying pending assistance for fear of burning out the starter motor. Any idea what might be wrong?"
