The engine ran away end of last season, due to fuel pump internal springs broken and dumping fuel. I had I.P. rebuilt. I have reinstalled and she starts and runs for 3or so seconds. like there is air in the sys. I have bled the syt, and am only trying to get her to run on the #3 cylinder. She wants to run and sort of does, for about 3 seconds, at which time she dies out. I can't imagine I still have air in the lines, bled and rebled. a mechanic aquintance of mine mentions I may have cracked the block from the excessive heat durring the runaway. It was very hot. couldn't lean on the crank case cover, hoses were very hot too. had to choke out the engine w/ a bilge plug to shut down. The shut down lever didn't work at that moment.
Any sugestions?? Thank you in advance, David...on the s/v Nico, alongside sav, ga.
exhaust elbo is clear. i have a dif manifold that I am checking to see how clean she is ineternally.
I have never opened the cooling water seacock untill engine is running, so not to fill engine w/ h20, hydrolift muffler and all. It has never been an issue inthe past...
