I was down on the boat yesterday, doing some stuff that needs doing. Like, installing a swim ladder, removing the salt water washdown pump to see if I can fix it, removing the outriggers cause we never use them and there's no sense letting them sit out exposed to the sun, salt etc.
Oh, and putting a new set of plugs in the HPDI. It started running rough about three hours ago on the clock. I had taken out the plugs and the lowest one was pretty fouled. I keep a small wire brush on board and cleaned the bottom four plugs up, and it ran better. For about two hours, then it got rough again.
I dunno, do you guys think this qualifies as a fouled plug?
this is the lower plug, the one I wire brushed and re-gapped about three running hours ago. I put all new plugs in yesterday, and otherwise the Yammie looks pretty good:
Ever feel like sometimes you don't have enough hands for some of these jobs? Gotta play monkey and get the feet involved:
Hey, it works.
I just this morning got the pump hooked up to 12 volts here at the house, and it's toast. Shurflo 3.5 gpm...and I know it's gonna cost me the equivalent of the GNP of a small african nation to buy one here. Sigh.
But we need that washdown. Conch guts, two stroke oil, fish blood....there's lots of reasons.
Actually , the HPDI's had issues with the oil injection causing the motors to foul up the plugs, I had it happen on a pair of 250's with 25hrs on them , I fouled every plug while trolling the canyon. Make sure those motors had the update done to them
