Yes turn the fuel back on, try the engine, you might be lucky and it starts, be cautious you do not flatten the battery....

[MtB]

Yes turn the fuel supply back on, but don't start the enjun unless you're sure the stop device is working again or you'll be back to square one!

 

I WANT PUDDING

[keith.]

 

Do I turn the fuel cut off switch back on now?

It will need turning back ON at some stage if you intend to start the engine. There is no reason not to do it now.

[MissMax]

Ok. I'm going back down. I'll reply in a bit

Eeeeek!

Why don't you just take a few photos to show what the things you are having problems with look like, as that will make answering your questions so much easier.

 

Good luck and happy cruising, and don't panic.

 

Peter.

[MissMax]

Won't turn off with the pully out thingy

[Dave Payne]

Follow the cable from the pull out thing to the engine, there should be some type of lever that you can pull manually to stop the engine?

[MissMax]

I tried to find it but I ain't as bendy as Mr Nightwatch. Turned it off at the fuel cut off switch again

Waiting on the RCR to call back. I'll have to clear the shelves so nothing falls on the engine again.

 

I thought today was going to be the day that I get to stay clean

 

I blame the goverment and Danish Bacon Grrrr!

Hi Max, one thing that should be high on your list is doing a class about boat diesel engines maintenance and trouble shooting.

 

You'll be feeling less helpless and you will also be able to give the right names of the thingies you're talking about, which will make it understandable to people that don't know YOUR language.

As has been previously mentioned on here eau de diesel is a much admired fragrance and the natural oil splattered look is very 'in' right now.

 

I should know

[Rickent]

Good fun this boating malarky.

You are absolutely right. Much easier than teaching everyone else what I mean

 

Got a call from mechanic advised to go back into town, but that would mean those swing bridges again

Said there is no rush come over when you can as he doesn't have the part, he will call back

Which part is this ?

 

Wouldn't it be possible to operate that thingy (whatever that may be) with a simple pair of pliers ?

 

Can't you take a few photos of the thingy, to get better suggestions of the steps to take ?

 

Peter.

[bigcol]

Any thing from RSR?

Surely a breakdown like this is what being a member covers.

Just take it easy, enjoy your new location.

Buy some donuts, and wait for the engineer.

 

Donuts, wine, what more could you want??

Mechanic said he will call back.

Morrisons is close, but I have to wait to find out if I will get help today.

Can't upload pics as I don't know how to do it on a phone.

 

(Can't beleave no one knows what a thingy is!)

The thingie, is the engine stop cable. I believe. Probable just come away from the engine end.

[Dave Payne]

Where are you now anyway?

[Nightwatch]

Who? Me or Miss Max?

The thingy is connected to the left phalange.

Skipton. Near Nightwatch. I am not at the boat at present. I will walk along to see what I can do when I get back from Leeds soon.

 

Looks like I've got the short straw.

You are a kind man, I wish you success in sorting this thingy problem out for her, and maybe you can teach her a few words about some of the important names of thingies on- and around her engine, just in case she has some other questions later, when you are not her next door neighbour anymore.

 

Travelling together with her until the winter (or longer) would be even better for her peace of mind

[MissMax]

Although I love watching Mr Nightwatch getting inside my engine bits (he looks good in Lycra ) I couldn't and won't get him to have a look. He should be with his wife and making sure her every needs are met ( tea won't make itself )

 

Every time Nighwatch comes to my boat he brakes the flakey bits of rust! Loosing tens of penny's off its value

Hi Max, after sending a mail from your phone with the photos to your computer, you can pick them up there and upload them and then add them to a message on the forum.
