ChrisE Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hilda Maud hasn't been running well all season, so we took the plunge last week and had her hauled. The yard had tried most of the common reasons for a poorly engine, fuel blockages, etc. Last Thursday they took the injectors out and sent them to Yamaha to have them overhauled. Yam came back today to say that they couldn't understand how the engine was running at all given the state of the injectors, three badly corroded and a fourth broken. They reckon that the engine had been submerged at some point in its previous lives. Beyond repair, so four new ones, just the £800 to buy plus fitting, it is beginning to look like a bit of a bill. We may be on the water this weekend or may be not, depending if they can be easily sourced. On the plus side this might give the engine a new lease of life ....

great white Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sorry to hear that mate But a Diesel will not run without decent injectors,. I hope that they can source them for you , at least fitting is not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
