Thanks for these insights , We went for the refurbishment route of our old Perkins 4154 engine, partly due to cost and advice from local mechanics plus many of the fishing boats and junks still have

Dom, Olivier ia absolutely correct. If you cannot hear the electric fuel pump when you are priming (pressing the switch down), or when starting, the pump needs to be replaced. I carried a spare

Masha Danki, Eric! Kent

Hi Bill; Your advise was right on the money. While I was trying to re-prime the pump by pouring water in the intake while holding it above the pump, I noticed some water leaking from the side of the

Great, Hanspeter, I look forward to your suggestions. Kent

Thanks Hanspeter, Another issue with the voltage dropping below 24 is that the fridges don't run their compressors in an effort to conserve battery power. I've been told or read somewhere that
