I just purchased a used Westerbeke W30 and it is "missing" and puffing white smoke see video.
Compression is equal across all 4 cylinders around 400 psi. Pulled and pop tested injectors and spray pattern looks good. Also tested the injectors on the lines on the engine and pattern looks good. They are pintaux style injectors so I could not test them for presure setting. No blow by noted by removing oil filler cap which coincides with decent compression readings. When the engine is run above 1500 RPMs everything clears up.n The engine is on a skid right now so I cannot easily put a load on it.
New clean oil and I have it set up with an electric fuel pump out of a can. Everything should be pressurized so there should be no air leaks.
I am thinking pump or pump timing but thought someone might point me in the right direction.
