Smokey Burner

I have a RK-21 and the burner smokes BAD after I let go of the Trigger. I burns clean while I'm washing but smokes like crazy after. The smoke is gray if that helps.

Do you have a fuel solnoid on the burner? If not you should install one. Here's why. The units without a fuel solnoid use the thermostat or a combination of other devices to shut off the burner motor. As the motor slows down so does the fuel pressure. When that happens the fuel nolonger atomizes and it squirts a small stream of fuel into the burner chamber. That fuel soaks into the insullation. When that happens the fuel catches fire inside the burner. When you shut off the burner the fuel still burnes causing white smoke. The smoke is the fire still burning. Without proper air flow the fire is smothering in there causing more smoke. When you turn the burner back on the air flow increases and the smoke goes away.
