Springer Skipper

I have an lr.1 lying around,900 rpm /2hp so ill have a gander at the injector and see if it resembles any thing that has been so far mentioned.Intruging innit,tough for Claudia though. Ive a few petters aroun,but the effort of a transplant is hardly worthwhile

This is one thing in favour of the Springer vee hull I have,but I still have my wheelbarrow tyres just in case!

looks like my kubota kx31 mini digger engine.

well Virgin has just bought Northern Rock and are doing custumer lounges . Be okay on the Thames foir all of us boaty boys

I dont buy glow plugs from mikuni,take the Bosch or Duraplug number and get the next spare from a commercial diesel shop.To my mind they are a bit fragile,I consider them as a consummable item,and we always have a couple in stock,I hate cold showers and as I have an aircooled engine I rely on my mikuni. Incidently I use used veg oil as a a fuel,even in the road vehicle(merc indirect injection)HMRC allow 2500 litres a yr without duty ,so the boat runs on it too.

Peeps with a bob or two will buy it at the right price!Bear in mind its a buyers market but you do have a NEW ready to go article for sale Post some details as mentioned before,I am on the vague market for a change of boat Robin

Please dont let the trolls win,I for one enjoy reading the "banter" ,I am a bit reticent and not very good at spelling either so I have not joined the cut and thrust....yet. Robin

Same as an emett.....Thats the cornish version Tourist holiday maker.

use a tool transformer in reverse,110 in ,240 out Simples but do it safely R.

Oh and put a witness mark on the pump to block point the dont turnthe engine.You could turn the engine first so to line up the timing mark and pointer on the crank pulley. Not a frightening job ,just be methodical and CLEAN around the injector unions before you take them off. Robin

It has a splined driveshaft that has a wide bit on it so it can only fit one way. Robin

I have always used the manufacturers recommended grades,if you put a heavier grade in cold weather you can compromise the manual start capability that is a useful feature of these old engines. In my case I use a CC spec 30 monograde, HDX 30, supplied by by Agritec-online.com.This for older normally aspirated engines,used in agriculture and construction purposes.Too high a spec may lead to bore glazing if a sustained time on tickover or low power is the mode of use.

My PH2 is a close relative of your PJ2 mine ticks over all day if neccisary at about 30 psi has done for years with no ill effect.Jim will give you good advice,he has written a great book of his experiences as a Petter Service engineer,he has a web site... www.petterengines.co.uk If it aint broke dont fix it. Robin

looking at my handbook ,it says min pressure of 40 psi. An ex genuine Petter Engineer whom I know is --Jim Perkins--01159216414.Nottingham but he travels, He found me all the spares I needed for my PH 2 Hope that helps, Robin
