Help my Bukh engine stalls when manoeuvring.
My 20 hp Bukh runs like a sewing machine until it is warm and I put
the throttle in neutral. It simply stops most of the time.
I have installed an electric pump near the tank so the system is
permanently filled with diesel.
I have checked the valve clearance, I have renewed the atomisers,
I have checked the filters for dirt or water.
After the engine stops it will start again quite easily.
I have checked the stopvalve.
Who knows the reason?
Probably the carberator, or the spark plug wires. Maybe the nut behind
the wheel is loose.
All seriousness aside. Why ask us? Do you think anyone here is a
diesel mechanic?
This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe
Yes there are (although my only experience of Bukh is my own DV36).
Ask away.
Much good advice has been given. The first thing I would check is the
slow running stop - even screw it in a bit. Cables should not be a
problem as long as the stop on the pump is set correctly.
