PAID SESSIONGet Tickets to this WorkshopMy Diesel Engine Is Acting Up: What May Be Wrong, and Can I Fix It? The answer, commonly, is: ‘Yes’. But this requires an understanding of the operating principles of a diesel engine together with a familiarity with the core systems that keep the engine functional. Armed with this knowledge, it is possible to determine the likely causes of most common operating problems, other than those related to electricity; troubleshooting these requires the ability to conduct simple multimeter tests. Nigel will cover all these topics focusing on the most commonly experienced diesel engine problems, including overheating, a failure to develop full power, exhaust smoke of various colors, rough running, vibration, and a failure to crank or to fire when cranking. Over the years, Nigel has received thanks from numerous people he has enabled to get up and running in the boonies. This seminar will help you do the same. While familiarity with engine components and participation in the morning class will be beneficial, this is not a necessity.
This is the second of Thursday’s two half-day classes. The two classes are designed to be complementary, but also to stand alone for those who cannot attend both. The first dives into the heart of diesel engine fundamentals, focusing on core maintenance tasks that can be undertaken by every boat owner (and some that should not be attempted), while the second class includes a detailed description of essential troubleshooting skills and techniques, including with a multimeter. Learn more and buy tickets to the first Thursday class.
This event will take place on the Cruising and Technical Stage which is on the 2nd floor of the yellow building at the Northwest Maritime campus. The stage can be reached by our elevator, with accessible parking nearby.
