ENGINE
DISASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The engine component
of
the BCGB generator is not as
bulky or heavy as most engines [approv.
7Slbs]
so it can be
disassembled and repaired on a sturdy work bench. Make
certain however that the engine is securely fastened so it can
not topple
off
the bench and that the bench also is secure and
can not tip over.
Set the generator breakers and panel switches in the off posi-
tion. Disconnect the
AC
wiring connections at the terminal
block/circuit breaker and unplug the harness at the control
panel. Disconnect the battery cable connections and the
engine ground cables.
Close off the raw water seacock and disconnect the raw
water components. Separate the exhaust hose at the water
injection elbow and disconnect the fuel supply and return
lines.
A
CAUTION:
Make
certain
the
fuel
lines
are
closed
off
and
drained.
Clean
up
all
fuel
and
oil
spills
and
properly
dispose
of
the
rags.
YWHEEL
ARMATURE
Unfasten the generator from its mounting rails
or
the
mounting rails from the platform and remove the generator
from the boat.
Once the generator is securely mounted on a work bench,
drain the engine oil and coolant.
Remove the starter motor. Disconnect and remove the wiring
harness, be certain to tag all the wiring connections as you
separate them.
Separate the generator back-end from the engine by
removing the 3 bolts (one is the engine ground), one stud and
one allen flat head that fasten the engine back-plate to the
housing.
Once the housing is removed, the remaining
generator components can be disassembled from the engine
back-plate.
