Hello everbody. First, I´m spanish, so... Sorry for my English, I will try give my all. I want to buy a ship (8m) with a Kad 42 230hp engine whith 800 hours. Theoretically it should reach 20 knots and 14 of cruise, but in the test only it reach 2500 rpm and 15 knots max, and pumping out white smoke. In addition, in a few minutes the engine (alone, doing nothing) lowered to a few revolutions and returned to 2500 in a few seconds. Theoretically the seller says that it is alone for the dirty hull and that it has cinder in the turbo, but i don´t know if can be something worst. I´ve readed the Martin Hellstrom solution in "KAD42 Problem with cutover between Super Charger & Turbo" but I don´t know if ca be relationated whit this. SomeBody can help me? Thanks. |

I would ask the seller to be back when the package runs as should! White smoke - cooling problem? Looses RPM - fuel supply, turbo????? |
