Hi to all out there and hope someone can give me some advice,
I have just purchased a Birchwood TS37 and it has Volvo Penta TAMD 41A Engines, they are the original fitted in 1988 and have done around 1550 hrs each, I was warned that they are 'smokers' and this is due to the configuration of the Manifold and excess fuel being pumped back in when warming up - this I believe was rectified when the 41B replaced it - is there anything I can do to improve this? - a bit embarrassing when in a busy Marina!
It also smokes a bit (one does anyway) when cruising at 2900 rpm - would changing the Injectors help? - has anyone else been able to resolve this issue?
Look forward to replies
Thanks
Chris
