Injection Limiter adjustment

Noone has addressed my post about an AIRLEAK on the suction side of the primary fuel pump.....bubbles will drive it crazy. The tank is gravity feed. The fuel pump was fine when last disassembled and inspected and the problem pre-dates that, but in any case it isn't required. I could run the fuel line directly from the tank to the engine's fuel filter... Would that mean anything? I got a new and worrying symptom today. Yesterday when I was feeling around in the inspection port one of the cranks fell away with a "plink". Of course, I'm very aware that the only way to get in there properly is to remove the gear case and so I was not thrilled by that development. However, moving the throttle crank back and forth did bring the missing crank back up to the injection limiter and I figured ok, maybe the weights just fell back or something. So, with some trepidation, I turned the beast on and it worked perfectly. Cool. Now, I just ran it again after letting it sit for the night and it worked wonderfully for about 15 minutes. I was able to load up the alternator with a bunch of stuff hooked to the inverter and some fans etc and had perfect throttle control and was getting ~100 amps out of the thing in either fast idle or in gear and pushing against the dock lines... Smoke free and purring smoothly. Then, it started its hunting again and when I removed all the loads and let it sit a while it didn't get any better. Hmmmm... What is going on? It has never, ever done the hunting thing after it has started running correctly before. -- Tom. |
