Engine sounds fine to me but i'm not there and your water flow seems to be just fine , all in all so far your good to go ! New subscriber and looking forward for more !
Thanks a lot for subscribing 😊👍 That’s nice to hear I had some doubts when I first got it started but yes I think you are right and we are good to go engine wise. Hopefully it just needs a good service and some adjustments 🤞
That was a lot of smoke; next time run the engine with a temporary fuel supply with some known good diesel. Diesel does go bad over time(marine vessels are particularly susceptible to "diesel bug" ruining the entire fuel supply) and even with a stabilizer I wouldn't want to use anything that is older than a couple of years. While an engine might run on bad fuel, it can cause all sorts of problems with the least of them being clogged injectors. I would also recommend you check the fuel tanks for water(at 1:31 I can't tell due to the video quality if the fuel in the fuel / water separator was cloudy or had water at the bottom of the housing) and get a bore scope to inspect the inside of the tanks for corrosion damage which usually happens due to condensation collecting inside the fuel tanks over time. If you're insanely lucky, they stored the boat with full tanks which would go a long way to preserving them. The color and smell of the exhaust can tell you a lot about what's going with the engine. Bad diesel has its own unique and nasty smell and if it's burning oil you can smell that too.
Thank you very Much for that awesome reply 😊 I am definitely going to remove all the fuel in the tanks and do a thorough inspection and as you write I’ll make a temporary diesel supply when I have to start it up the next time. Thank you very much 😊
