  1. Yes I think that's a wise move I just spoke to someone recently on the cut who leaves his on when he's away for a week and wondered how common that is . I don't think I'd sleep at night Hey I want my boat at the bottom of my garden !!
  2. But bearing in mind I don't live on my boat and only return to it every third day , Does anyone go home and leave stove on while away ??
  3. Yes I'm sure it will work fine on boat maybe just a different setting. It seems best to just set them and leave them then . Would you or anyone else go away and leave them on overnight ?
  4. UPDATE Firstly thanks to all for your inputs For any future people needing help here are my findings. MY ISSUES How do I light Why is flame yellow My findings via this thread CLEANING Clean and decoke every thing paying special attention to burner holes LIGHTING Set regulator to number two Bleed a small amount of fuel through add either a capful of meths or a small cube of fire lighter and ignite. Hold in plunger for a further minute I found that the higher you have it set the more yellow the flame and when adjusting don't got too far at once maybe just 1\4 stops and wait 15 mins for effect .(patience) Mine runs best on 1 1\4 Also worth noting I was bench testing mine outside in sunlight ( maybe having more draft caused a few issues) I think it would draw different inside the boat when fitted ? Certainly the bright light made the flames appear yellower Anyway I now have a lovely blue flame and what a cracking little stove the old Dutch is Thanks again all
  5. Thanks all for your help guys I think I'm armed with enough info for now . Tonight it sounds like I will be getting black
  6. Hi all anyone advise on not having a yellow flame on my old dutch stove please
  7. Thanks Tony and Harmony . I want to leave light set up as it is . I believe there is a blank on side of therm housing to allow a gauge sender ??
  8. Hi has anyone ever replaced a temperature light with a guage on a barrus shanks engine please
  9. Tony hi I haven't yet found a shire with the same housing. My problem is that after much research I'm realising mine isn't plumbed correctly What I really need to know is what taps / outlets run to where ? My two red taps currently feed and return from calorifier and im sure the return should go back to pump side Many thanks
  10. Hi all Does anybody out there have a barrus shanks engine with a calorifier installed via twin stats thanks in advance
  11. Like I said try and find the B2 options and turn off B2-06 setting (waveform check) which is on by default, as a start. Thanks everyone for your time Its best to ask before blowing anything i value your inputs ill get B2 06 terminated
  12. yes it charges batteries . It also controls my solar panels , and Ship to shore AC I know it used to accept waveform with a honda ex650 because that was used by previous owner So do i need a Sine wave genny ? or can i alter the settings like thumper said?
  13. yes thank you for that Thumper I have the manual and read exactly that however is it me or is the manual not very user friendly
