I always used string

If your friend still needs it, I have a SR fuel lift pump and I live in Coventry.............. pm me for phone number

............. might you have water in your fuel?

As I understand it There was plenty of it It's a hard wood, good and dense If you keep it wet it doesn't tend to rot, it's only vulnerable if it dries out and gets wet and dries out etc. As previous owner of Marcellus I can tell you when I had her there were planks of elm in her bottoms that had been there a lot longer than a steel bottom will survive.

I suggest you do vent the hot air outside at the earliest otherwise the engine will breath its own heated air and that will cause problems sooner rather than later.

Sorry Richard, plenty of photos taken but after 3 divorces I wouldn't have a clue where they ended up............

Clicky

bump ...... lest we forget

You can view the OP's photo of the crankcase door if you right click the icon and open it in a new tab

"Have you always lived in that little cabin?" "Oh yes, in fact I was born in that stove" Cocking his ear to listen to the beat of my Lister HA2........ "Gardener?" "No ... Personnel Manager." "Now there's no coal, how do you make a living?" "Nuclear waste, they don't like it being moved by road or train you see" From a fisherman "Haven't you got anything better to do with your spare time?" "Let's see ... you've lugged that heavy case & rods a mile up the muddy towpath, you can't go to the toilet and the temperature is just above freezing. I've got a stove at my feet, I can smell my dinner cooking and I've a bottle of single malt on the roof here. What do you think?" Lockside "Your dog nearly had me then!" "Tell me where you live and I'll let him come round and stick his head through your window" "Is it true you start the engine by running around the flywheel? "No I get my hamster to do that" "Are there many of you gypsies left?" "Buy some lucky heather and I'll tell you"

We get a few, but generally speaking around here we get the waistcoats and red neckerchief brigade ......... equally irritating

I would like each angler to have a brightly coloured helium balloon tied to them as I often don't see them hiding behind bushes please

Hood?

All these wonderful lists of boats with changed names, what about a certain Josher running around with the name President on it?

...........................white smoke from exhaust indicates water in the fuel.

Might be camera angle but the stem looks a bit squashed up and the back end is nothing like.

Well I just Googled it and it says: - The canal restorers, BW and the Somerset County Council ........... so I guess they're the people to ask.

Valley Cruisers or Rose narrowboats both give you access to Atherstone to Hillmorton via (if you want ) the Coventry canal-the Ashby canal- the North Oxford canal and only one lock at Hawkesbury.

From my memory it was a damn fine attempt at copying a small woolwich.

This Dutch site has pdf files for workshop manuals and parts lists, all free download. They cover just about every serious marine diesel including what you're looking for. http://www.motoren.ath.cx/

Well there are aspects of the fuel system and filling it in the regulations ......... but are you sure somebody hasn't just "half inched" some and left a mess?

I echo everything above, I live in Coventry and often boat down to the basin for the night. A word of advise on the navigation from Hawkesbury. I was on a Coventry Canal Society canal clearance run the other weekend and we hauled yards of stripped electrical cabling out that you most definitely wouldn't want round your blades. As you come South and pass the Ricoh Arena and Tesco's you pass under a road bridge, the next straight takes you past a large semi abandoned factory on the right, near the bottom of this just before the cut curves to the right you'll see on the towpath a bench made of pipes. That's where we were pulling the cable out and of course there is no guarantee we found it all. I suggest you stay in the center channel and slip past on tick over and/or neutral. Enjoy your trip.

When you checked them were they full to the brim? Air is a bugger when it finds its way in (or fuel finds its way out!) I once spent 4 months trying to chase one, it turned out to be a pin prick beneath a layer of paint in the solder on a banjo union. Still if you are ready to start unmantling things and I take it you haven't a manual to show you which bit to modify with a gentle smack from a lump hammer then go here: - Free SR/SL Lister manual Best of luck zenataomm

It's also a symptom of air getting into the fuel system. Check the bleed off points at the filter, and the injectors before you do anything else more technical. zenataomm
