Hi everybody I'm filippo from Italy and I'm so desperate that I had to join an English forum to try to solve my problem
i've bought a boat, one year older than me (40 yo) as the Diesel engine on board, the engine has been stopped during the last 5 years, but 6 years ago has been fully reconditioned and it worked good.
Now... It's impossible to switch it on, I've tried and checked everything:
1- two brand new batteries (one 100Ah and one 74Ah)
2- injectors cleaned and tested (they spry with a very good pattern)
3- oil filter and oil changed
4- valves checked and registered (cold engine I know but I would do it again with hot engine)
5- I've tried with a starter spry, nothing
6- I've tried blowing hot air in the air intake, nothing
7- I've checked the exhaust collector, it's clean!
8- I've closed the water cooling supplying line to avoid water in the cylinders
9- I've checked if the cylinders are dry, yes they are
10- the compression seems good, the starter can barely make a complete turn when the valve lever is down, I should make a compression test
what else should I have to try? An exorcist? I don't know what to do
does anybody have some suggestion?
Thank you in advance
