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 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 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:17:44 +0000 mark [Member] c206@http://bf494.co.uk/ what ratio is you borgy box? I've got a spare one.. the one that's in is 1.5:1 and only has about 450hrs on it. I've got a 2.1:1 I'm replacing it with because we need a bigger ratio to get the prop gearing right http://bf494.co.uk/blog1.php/2009/02/21/ford-lehman-marine-diesel-engine-stuff#c206 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:00:54 +0000 Chris [Visitor] c205@http://bf494.co.uk/ hi, i need my borgwarner velvet drive 71c repairing anybody no where i could get this done in the uk? thanks for your help http://bf494.co.uk/blog1.php/2009/02/21/ford-lehman-marine-diesel-engine-stuff#c205
