Racor filter

[donm]

The racor will be fine with such a small engine. we had one fitted to a ziese generator set , with a single cyl farryman. There was no spin effect, but the flow was slow there was plenty of time for sediment to sink.

use the same for the main gen/ bow thrust 3 cyl mitsubishi 15kva set, about 20 hp and on the secondary 7,5 kva onan, which replaced the zeise set.

my other observation after an initial run after filter change remove the lid and top up, if the filter is above fuel level in the tank, as the air space on top of the filter can be significant alteration to the dynamics with a small lift pump. this might have caused your stop.

Thanks - the engine has been running fine all season and then faltered and stopped last week when starting up from cold. I only replaced the filter as part of seeking out the problem, but it was not defective. I will in any case follow your advice and check the fuel level in the filter body.

Thanks again
