Volvo Penda AD31B engine trouble.

[Purple Velvet]

I had one of those days today! Fairline Targa 27.

I was investigating a raw water problem with the starboard engine, which required me to crawl all over both. A little later I ran up the port engine which was faultless, but a minute later it started to falter and then cut out; all the symptoms of fuel starvation. Tank is over half full of good diesel and the starboard engine started fine from the same tank.

It there perhaps an "emergency fuel cock" on the engine itself that I might have disturbed please?

I’d be looking at what you might have disturbed. Loose fuel pipe, filter anything to let in air in to the fuel system. Or a simple as knocking the isolator off Can’t be much

Indeed. It remains to be seen of it is useful, but it is worth a look.
