Holly you kill me. You really think a diesel engine has a carburettor
and spark plugs?

Didn't I say I was serious? You spose there's dirt in the distributer
cap?



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?

You are an idiot.

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?

I have a friend with a Bukh installed in a Laser 28 and he's always having
problems.

An engine that runs fine at start-up and with a no-load idle .... and
then stalls when load (putting it in gear) is applied is a classic
symptom of a blown head gasket. When was the last time your torqued
down the cylinder head?

If you don't have any luck here, try news:dk.fritid.sejlads

There is likely to be a higher concentration of Bukh-owners, and they will
probably answer in English.

What a helpful post from resident asshole, Loco.
The Bristol/Alberg 27 I sail has a Bukh and it's bulletproof, with no rebuilds
since 1975. A great little engine.

Have you checked if there is a screen on the fuel line tube in your fuel
tank? We have removed ours (bukh engine) due to history of fuel restriction
resulting from deterioration and clogging. Also added an additional fuel
filter to compensate for the change but a lot easier to change being
external.

Two cylinder's have a history of not having sufficient cooling to the front
cylinder. This has a set of results all it's own, including possible cracked
head - been there done that!

Good luck.

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.

Hey Dipwad I was just indicating that the motor can be a hassle. If you don't
like it tough ****. I didn't try to belittle anyone like you constantly try to
because of your small penis complex. Get lost. My Wednesday race miles add up
to more than your totll.
