Default RE: Smoke in the Turbine duct P-80

Hi there

Might be a silly question, but is it facing into wind when you shut it down?

Every turbine I've known, will smoke out the front during shut-down, if it is facing the wrong way.

The next problem you'll get, if you continue, will be the starter slipping due to oil residue on the O-ring.

Seen it, done it.
