Hi all,
I'll explain what has happened. The engine has been running fine for over a year since I got the boat. Yesterday I was moving the boat and to get it into the wind i pushed the throttle to the maximum, that is when the engine just went off and I havn't been able to start it again.
My questions are:
1. Could there be air in the fuel line ?
2. Could it be the fuel filter ?
3. I am guessing the problem is that there is no fuel coming into the engine as i undid the nipple at the top of the injection pipe
then cranked the engine using the starter motor and nothing was coming out, I expected some fuel ?
I have photos but cannot upload as this is my first post..
I thought I should try to bleed the engine however I cannot work out how to do this. I have the manual however I cannot locate the 'delivery valve holder' the drawing doesnt seem to match what Im looking at.
I then thought about checking the fuel filter however again Im not sure what to undo and i dont want to undue the wrong things.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
thanks
Chris
