Joe wrote: For about 45 dollars you can send your oil sample to a company Wow, $45? That's rather expensive, I get the same service from a local company for about $20 per sample. We consider it mandatory to get a full oil analysis once per year and keep the report in the log... BTW that goes for all kinds of power machinery like compressors, not just engines. After taking care of various commercial machinery, it struck me as very slapdash the way most boat owners take care of their engines. Yelp its down right laughable of some. And compaired to the US Navy PMS many companies are put to shame. I did a test on my gen set when I rebuilt it 5 years ago. Have many hours now on it and Im starting to see soot. Think its just needs the injectors rebuildt but... Im glad I have my old report to compare with a new report. Could be the injectors need adjusting, or it could be crud in the fuel. You using 2mic filters? I think they need new tips. Did not redo them when I rebuilt the moter. Why do you say crud in the fuel? When a heavy load item like the AC or water heater kicks on you get a little black soot on the water, almost like turbo lag.... but its not turbo charged. I was thinking a poor injection pattern due to washed out or fouled tips. Joe Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
