Just check the small manual lever on the bottom of the fuel lift pump. I always prime the fuel up using this for a real cold start [ like 1 month laying idle] Once i left this lever engaged and she stopped after 10mins cause the motor was starved of fuel.
Had this very problem with my old boat and Gardner engine...turned out to be water in the fuel!..traced back to a hole in the top of the portside 70 year old mild steel fuel tank that had a small deck leak above!...just running on a small day tank untill i get round to putting in the new fuel tanks...i have 3 wooden boats 🤦♂️
I did wonder that, I don't think I have water in fuel issue I'm pretty sure it is likely a lever causing the issues...you're a busy man with three wooden boats, you'd be rather busy
Yes and the mechanic reckons that is the c asue of it not starting, he's going to install a cable and lever system rather than relying on the cord pull it one way to shut off and pull it back the other for starting, Nice to hear my content is being enjoyed around the world, thanks have a wonderful day,
very sudden though has not been any issue at all....unless it has dumped the fuel out of the system somewhere, no leaks I can find, bit of a conundrum😁😁
Appears I have an issue with You tube removing my comments after they are posted, likely a glitch, the comment and my response are being removed automatically some time afterwards so please do not be offended, I am trying to sort through this issue and get it sorted,
I have never changed them and have only owned the old boat for around 16 months so she's a work in progress, they have been changed now as a part of the work and maintenance currently taking place, from this point on regular maintenance will be scheduled and recorded,. The old boat has had very little use over the past few years the old fuel filters had 2015 written on them and I believe she was still in commercial use in 2012
