4.
Using the 5/16" box wrench or the 1/4" drive 5/16" socket wrench, open the
#3
bleed screw and bleed this
portion of the fuel
Injection pump in the same manner as described in step #3. Proceed
to
step
#5
NOTE: Make sure that the throttle
Is
fully open and the engine's shut-off lever is in its
RUN
pos~lon
before proceeding
to
step
#5.
5.
Using a 5/8" open end wrench, loosen
all
four high pressure injector line nuts (#4), located at the base of
each injector, one
to
two turns. Using the starter motor, crank the engine over
to
bleed any air
in
the high
pressure lines between the fuel
Injection pump and the injectors. Crank the engine until fuel spurts from
between the injector nut and the high pressure injector
line.
NOTE: Only
spurts of fuel should come from this bleed point, not a steady flow of fuel.
DO NOT crank the engine for long periods of time. Excessive cranking will cause the starter
to
overheat and will flood the exhaust system with sea water.
Retighten
ali four high pressure injector line nuts with the 5/8" open end wrench.
NOTE: Excessive torque is not required to properly tighten the injector line nuts
to
the base
of the high pressure injectors.
6.
The engine is now primed and ready
to
start. Leaving the throttle in the FULL OPEN
pos~ion,
make sure
that the engine's
STOP lever is in the
RUN
pos~ion
and that the transmission is in NEUTRAL. At this point,
proceed
to
start the engine. Use the
PREHEAT
button as required and crank the engine using the starter.
Once the engine fires, return then throttle
to
its IDLE position. Check
to
make sure that the engine's In-
struments indicate the proper oil pressure reading and that sea water is discharged with the exhaust. Allow
the engine
to
idle between 1000
to
1200 rpm for five minutes
to
make sure that all air in the fuel system
has been bled.
If the engine fails
to
start, re-prime the fuel system and try
to
start the engine once again.
CAUTION
Prolonged
cranking
intervals
without
the
engine starting can result in
filling
the
engine-
mounted
exhaust system
with
sea water coolant. This
may
happen because
the
sea
water
pump
is
pumping
sea water
through
the
sea water cooling system
during
crank-
ing.
This
sea water can enter
the
engine's
cylinders
by
way
of
the
exhaust manifold
once
the
exhaust system fills. Prevent
this
from
happening
by
closing
the
sea water
supply
through-hull
shut-off,
drain
the
exhaust muffler, and correct
the
cause
for
the
excessive
engine
cranking
needed
to
obtain
a start. Engine damage resulting
from
this
type
of
sea water
entry
is
not
a warrantable issue;
the
owner/operator
should
keep
this
in
mind.
NOTE: When the secondary. on-engine fuel filter has been serviced, the #1 and
#2
bleed
points should only be bleed
to
make sure that ali air has been removed from the fuel system.
No
other bleed points need to be opened at this time.
Owners/operators may find daubing white paint on each of the bleed points helpful.
If
an
un-
expected problem occurs
in
which the fuel system needs bleeding, these points will be clear-
Iyvisible.
