[Manchester canals]

This is rubbish I am based on the Ashton canal I was involved in it’s restoration and I am now the volunteer lock keeper on the canal. I speak to boaters all the time and a

have not come across one who has suffered any form of vandalism. I have come across a number of people who have moored up overnight on the flight without problem. 
I have heard people calling the canal and the majority of these have never been on it themselves. 
come use the Manchester canals they and the people are great

Another of those questions that no one will agree on, I would always have a trad back end as I love my back cabin and can get out of the weather with the stove at my feet. My border collie used to love lying at my feet watching the water go by. Surprised no one has mentioned semi trad yet?

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

Thanks all I have obviously lots more surprises to come wth this engine

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

no not sure about fuel filter, there are two in line between day tank and the engine 

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

Again thank you the depression next to the LH pump which did not appear to be leaking was full of engine oil whereas the one next to the RH pump which appears to have the leak, was full of mainly diesel, I will work my way round all the unions tightening up and replace washers as necessary 

Thanks everyone replacement washers and one replacement bleed screw seems to have improved matters a lot, starting to understand the engine a bit more now

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

That makes sense will make sure nothing moves thank you all again that’s been a fantastic response

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

Thanks will take it out very carefully and have a look

 

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

Thanks for all the replies it’s that plug/ screw that appears to be leaking, so should it have a copper washer under it?

[Lister FR2 fuel injection pumps]

I am just finding my way round the FR2 The boat I have recently bought. The engine runs perfectly well, the fuel is gravity fed from a day tank. When I uncovered the CAV injection pumps I noticed that there appeared to be fuel leaking from one of them. It is not coming from the bleed screw which is tight but could be coming from the large slotted screw directly underneath it? I have turned the fuel supply off which has stopped the flow. Anybody got any ideas please

[max draft for Peak Forest & Macc]

Hi I have not had any major problems on the Peak or the Macc with Daphne which draws just over 30”, I note that CRT intend to dredge the Peak this year. Obviously you will have to check the depth at particular moorings, good luck, Bob

[Morco gas water heater]

Thank you for the response, the heater is working well although occasionally the pilot light goes out. It is fitted to a boat that I have just bought so I do not know when it was last serviced. Therefore I am looking for someone to do a service?

[Morco gas water heater]

Does anyone know someone in the Manchester area that services these water heaters

[Wanted - Brunton Gearbox Manual]

Hi as far as I know there is no way to reduce the travel, mine is exactly the same, I have played about with the threaded collar on the gear change tower but have not noticed any particular difference. One day I must take it apart and see how it all works. I have a copy of the information sheet for it if it is any interest to you?
