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.

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.

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.

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.
