Re: Daihatsu diesel generator troubleshooting

I've worked with a 36v-er, and damn those batteries were heavy! (And impossible to find replacements haha)

I'll be honest, as soon as i read the way you specifically included small and 24v and 12v engines, I had a good idea where it was going. Worked with small perkins, and 2 x 36v Cats...

Re: Daihatsu diesel generator troubleshooting

Exh temps?
Knocking or detonation?
Take off the valve cover and make sure everything's rocking like it should.


Keep the feedback coming. We're just narrowing down some things. There's an easy answer, just narrowing down some things.
You keep thinking about it too.

Re: wartsila 4WL20

Both suction and discharge lines were below the sump level, and there was a flap check to stop oil drainage...
Interesting.

Re: abb tps 48 turbocharger

Have the manual, but need a video reference...

Don't want to be pessimistic, bud, but you should probably get an ABB technician (and learn from he/she), rather than a YouTube video...

What position/rank are you in?
Where are you geographically, any ABB vendors near you?

Re: wartsila 4WL20

I must be able to be done.

Picture?
Line diagram?
It's a pre-lube so it's +ve disp, so it's probably is above the oil level and draws the oil up...

I'm sure it's fine.

Re: Engine cannot start

I presume all the valves, air pressure, and proper levels of fluids are in good order.

Is there any alarms given when it fails to start.
Electrical problems from a sensor.
Mechanical over speed tripped.
Interlocks or limit switches?
Does the government arm move any when it's cranking?

Re: Tattoo for engineers

Agreed, it bugs me as a sailor when non-sailor hipsters get traditional sailor tattoos... The wimps wouldn't survive on a ship - lack of safe spaces and too many microaggressions going around lol

Re: Bunkering regulations

I don't think that's a regulation.
A good practice, for most situation, but I can't see it being a reg.
