Kingfisher 126 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Oh dear Tony thats not sounding too good, take it you still have a problem after all the waiting and no doubt expense!! Good luck with getting it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Tony your engine fault seems to be taking forever to fix. I don't know anything about Purbeck Marine but from afar it appears like maybe someone else should have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Blimey Tony, more patience than a saint! Is it a different fault every time you get it back, or do they break something else each time they touch it? Agree with Steve, time to find someone who knows what they are doing!

ChrisE Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I sympathise Tony. Our engine has been playing up since it went back in. Still not fixed and on our third or fourth iteration ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherman1055 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Tony what is the problem with the engine mark Replaced turbo but still only 2200 revs and 12 knots Used to do 1750 @19 knots pulls well up to 2200 but no more power Fuel system filters replaced when problem first started Must be fuel if air problem it would suck more fuel through and black smoke would show. Possible fuel pump problem, need to check without replacing ( more cost ******^%$££%&*) \it is a good job it is only £300 a month to berth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ark Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hi Tony I had a similar problem last year, as soon as I give more revs it used to cut done After many things changed it turned out to be the pick up pipe in the fuel tank After that was cleaned bingo ok since Kingfisher 126 and Maverick Martin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Some years ago I had a no power problem with a mercruiser 120hp diesel. One outfit told me to replace the turbo as it was not cutting in.... Problem was fixed by increasing the feed pressure from the exhaust to the turbo so it cut in earlier. So fixed with no parts changed just engineering time and a couple of sea trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sounds like a Heath Robinson fuel tank \ pickup & return to a clean fuel can in needed to ensure it isn't the fuel delivery to the pump. Or as per Steve's note above - wategate actuator messing about with. Have you have a boost pressure guage attached to her to see what you are getting? (only useful if you know what it should be) Have you consulted Chapman Boat Breakdown Consultancy Services? Charlie is my usual port of call when boaty things aren't working \ broken for an experienced point of view!

great white Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think that you (or an engineer) need to start eliminating the simple things. Fuel starvation Tests like Rob described would certainly eliminate pipe or tank issues, adding an outboard tank bulb can see if it an LP fuel issue. Great whites lift pump had a tiny gauze filter, even partially blocked this would cause a loss of power Loss of turbo air pressure etc Navy diesel RIBs had a flexible pipe to the turbo air supply, just tightening the jubilee clips could return some power. Before going further down the route of expensive fuel pump and turbo repairs Maverick Martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
