Well, been a bloody busy two days....
We are ready for the hoist, 0930 splash in the morning.
My old engines have been causing mucho confusion... To recap... Different boost pressures, different revs, one lazy no smoke, one smokes 60 bensons in 10 minutes, and is reasonably productive....
Mr lazy it seems, has had his base line fueling turned down.... According to the injection centre, looks like from new. To conteract this, the top end fueling had been wound up.... To the point it should have revvved up like a battery drill.....
Hmmm.... Fault found, happy bunny.
Upon re fitting both injection pumps, the smokey joe stbd side, is advanced to 17deg btdc....
So in essence, its still throwing fuel in, on the downward stroke of the piston....how happy am I... Ecstatic...
Basically found issues with both motors, one apparently from new... The second, im dubious.. As i know this has had the cylinder head off....
Happy days.
My many thanks go to Latestarter, and his fuel injection gurus, Darren in bristol.... Many many thanks for pump calibration and advice.
The port motor now smokes about 20 a day..(it should), and the stbd seems to have cut back on the bines too.... We will see when fully warmed up and on the plane tomorrow, so fingers crossed for me.....
Have also installed new start, and domestic batteries, moved them all over to the stbd side (attempt to cure a list)
Antifouled...
Cleaned....
Valves checked
New belts
New gearbox oil
Polished....
New engine bay lights
Props scanned by clements, look like new, and we know are perfectly matched, so no problems there..
My many thanks also go,to,Jim Youlton in Jersey..
Could not have done without you....
Top marine engineer
Fired up the motors on the blocks, could have woke the dead
When they settled down, smoother, sound gruntier if thats possible, certainly sharper...
Turbos are winding up earlier...
Evrything sound mint, so bed time know for me.... Im pooped.....
Happy days
