Hi Tim,

Thanks for the info, it's not the bolt it self it's the brass circle that the banjo bolt go through that the fuel line attaches to.

[JS3M low oil indicator]

Can any one please help

When starting and moving. Up the river for about 3 hours or so My oil indicator is reading around 15/20. However whilst I went below to check the engine I notesed the gage was showing 5/7

I have recently changed the anti freeze to 50/50 and I feel there may be some air in the system

I have been using the little brass tap on top of the exhaust box which some of the air is coming out.

Any help or advice would be most appreciated

[JS3M cold start]

No it is a JS3M with a blackstone 1:1 gear box from a 1946 fishing boat 1500 revs gives me 45 hp

I to have electric start which is great ,however i have stated her when the engine is warm but it's very hard from cold.

That why I have ask if one day I had no power from batts Etc I would like to thing I could start her from cold.

 

I have a skin tank that holds the antifreeze and what's around the engine .

If I find out how to post photos on this site I will put photos on

Not necessarily! The JS was one of the last variants of the JP range...I think it has pressure fed top end lubrication and no compression changeover valves....it's also rated for a higher rpm...possibly 1500 rpm instead of 1200 rpm

As for starting do you have hand or electric start?.....I take it that it doesn't start that easily from cold?

Changing the antifreeze is just a matter of draining and or pumping the old stuff out and replacing with a fresh mix....use the blue stuff though not the 5 year pink stuff.

Cheers

The other question is I need to change the cooling with anti freeze etc. what is the best method for meto do this.

Thank you all for your help.
