Aksa Abnormal Exhaust Smoke

Strong exhaust smoke: black, blue, or white, during generator operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overfueling or overload (black smoke), Oil burning from worn engine (blue smoke), Unburnt fuel or coolant ingress (white smoke)

Safety first: Operate in a well‑ventilated area. Exhaust gases are toxic.

Check load: Reduce load if black smoke appears under heavy demand. Ensure load is within Aksa rating.
Air filter: Inspect and replace a clogged air filter element.
Oil level and condition: Overfilled or very thin oil can cause blue smoke; correct level and change oil if needed.
Coolant level: Falling coolant with white smoke may indicate head gasket issues; stop the engine and call a technician.
