2004 Suzuki DF140 - Tiny bit of smoke

[Deleted]

Hello all..

I have twin 2004 DF140's... The starboard engine appears to be giving the tiniest hint of smoke, occasionally.. is there a way to tell if its smoke or steam? I'm thinking Four strokes (never had them) should not be smoking at all, correct?

Thanks...

My Verado steams alot. It is easy to confuse with smoke also. The easiest way I can think of to tell the difference would be to hold your hand (or some flat item if you are squeamish) over it. If water condenses out, it would be steam. plus smoke will smell oily.
