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?

Sounds like the governer is bad.

Have you checked the slow running revs. I had a similar problem with my
Volvo when going from drive to neutral. The slow running was set to too
slow.

Check out your linkage in the throttle cable.

Might try setting the idle a little faster.

Perhaps the idle is too slow?

Yes lack of sufficient fuel
either pump IS NOT being instructed to deliver enough fuel or it IS being
instructed and is failing to deliver. This could be aggravated by dirty or
poor injectors dribbling instead of atomising. Or pop pressure might need
adjusting etc

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?

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

I hope your new fuel pump is downstream of the filter so it is sucking
fuel throught the filter instead of pushing it through. The pump will
probably break up any water in the fuel and make it hard for the water
separator to separate it out if installed so the fuel hits the pump
before the water separator. (Diesels only)
