Deryk, It does sound like you are getting fuel through. And, you say it sounds like it "almost" turns over sometimes. If it is cold, and you are doing this,...
Deryk, where are you and the boat located? I have come into this conversation a bit late, so what engine do you have? I have the service manual for the...

Deryk, You mentioned that you did not bleed the lines. You need to have fuel coming out the bleed screw at the top of the injector pump when you bleed or it ...
I had a similar problem last year -- on a 4-108 Perkins (W36). I replaced fuel lines, filters, fuel pump, bleed about 3 times, tried WD-40 in air intake,...
Does the engine turn over smartly when you operate the starter with the 'stop' lever fully in the 'start' positiob ? If you do not know about de-compression...

Let us know when you are racing again, and Paul and I will come crew with you, and maybe Terry can come down too. Also, if we can get MLB there, I can...
Hello: I have a problem with my furler / gennie. I have a 1989 30 Watkins with what I think is the original furler. It is more of a wheel than a drum. It does...
Welcome to the racing world of a W27! We have a couple of races here in the southern Chespaeake where we get credit for just showing up. And it always...
If you're trying to start it at 40 degrees, you either need starting fluid or a heat gun. You can get by with putting a heater on the step in front of the...
For cold weather starting (pull the compression release, hit the starter, close the compression release while the engine is turning over at higher speed). This...
Maria, You have to cleat the furler control line after you unfurl as much sail as you need. On a wheel system, you have to secure the line tight enough to ...

One more thing. It doesn't have a drum for the rope role up into. As you pull the rope, it doesn't get any longer. Is there something broken on the wheel? ...
I bought a similar vacuum type extractor from West. Does a pretty good job pulling the oil out of the dip stick hole. Unfortunately, there's no way to remove...
Marie, When you tie off the control line, you must secure both lines so the wheel cannot move in either direction. Pull the lines tight so that the friction ...
For perfectionists the answer is to flush the engine with a flushing oil; then pump that out before re-filling. Bryan [with the-best-W30-in-the-South for...

Yes, it makes you wonder what engineer designed an oil filter that screwed on sideways. Before changing the oil, start the engine and get the oil warmed up so...
