White or blue smoke from exhaust during Kipor 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

Overfilled engine oil, Worn piston rings, Valve stem seal wear, Clogged air filter causing rich mixture

Safety first: Operate in a well‑ventilated area. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.

Step 1 – Check oil level: Ensure oil is not above the FULL mark. Drain excess oil if overfilled.
Step 2 – Inspect air filter: Remove and inspect the air filter element. Replace if dirty or oil‑soaked.
Step 3 – Observe smoke behavior: Blue smoke that persists indicates oil burning; white smoke at cold start may be normal but should diminish. Persistent heavy smoke suggests internal engine wear requiring professional service.
