I parked my voyager for a month and didn't start it and when I went up and started it, once it warmed up there was light smoke coming off the bottom of the engine. And when I stuff it off the brand new battery won't hold a charge, any ideas?

I am going to guess there was a liquid of some sort on the exhaust pipes that boiled off :hmm: that caused the smoke.
With out doing charge tests or checking for a draw on the battery,it would be hard to diagnose it from here :corn:
Do you have a copy,available on this site,of the service manual?It has a good schematic if the electrical system.
