Re: Yanmar 2GM20F

I installed a 2GM20F in my Tartan and the only problem I have had with it is air in the fuel system....which will kill the engine in a heartbeat.? I would check the fuel system, be sure everything is clean, replace filters (2) as needed and bleed the system at the injectors.? If you are at all handy you can do it yourself.? Need metric tools and a manual, all available, and you must have them since you changed the cooling pump.
The only thing that stops a diesel once it is running is lack of fuel.? If you had no overheating alarms then the cooling system should not be at fault.? Hope this helps.

We need we needed to replace the fresh water pump, and were told to purchase part #YM-128695-42010 That part has the pump and the alternator bracket mounted behind it. Does anyone know if the pump is available by itself? I have attached 2 photos, one with the new pump (the shiny metal) installed on the old alternator mount, and the second with a the old pump that was removed with the new bracket.
We installed the pump yesterday, and had no issues. We ran the motor for 20 minutes while the bilge pumped out, and then started on our 6 hour trip from Huntington LI to City Island, NY. We were 45 minutes along, when the motor slowed down and died. We were able to sail back to our starting point and tried to figure out what was wrong, but struck out. A mechanic will look at the motor later today. |
