white smoke

Mr Hunters, Was this today? A engine will produce white smoke when the exhaust out the relief port is warmer then the ambient air. On a day such as today with east or northeast winds and high humidity this will happen [B]Normally

Smoke colors
White=water
Blue=oil
Black=fuel

I think it's like Wrench said though. If you have a blown head gasket, the motor would most likely be skipping and overheating..Water don't burn well..

Check the plugs

If its a head gasket check all the plugs, chances are one (the one with the leak) will look like it was steam cleaned compaired to the others.

I have a zuki 70 HP 4 stroke and it only smokes after I winterize her...best of luck.
