Its the one thing on this boat that always behaved impeccably. It even sounds nicer than a modern diesel, despite the grey sludge that passes for engine oil! http://bf494.co.uk/blog1.php/2010/08/12/getting-things-moving-again-or-how-to-st#c228 patmobile [Visitor] in response to: getting things moving again (or how to stop biting your finger nails) Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:13:42 +0000 patmobile [Visitor] c227@http://bf494.co.uk/ Good to see you're back. Aren't old marine diesels great? On the rare occasions they won't start,even after months of neglect, check compression, air and fuel. 9 times out of 10 you'll find the problem is something incredibly simple like a dirty filter. On modern engines it'll be the electronics and you'll have to spend a fortune on a new microdoofa. http://bf494.co.uk/blog1.php/2010/08/12/getting-things-moving-again-or-how-to-st#c227
