TROUBLESHOOTING
66 GM Series Operation Manual
Is there water, oil or fuel leakage?
Are there any loose bolts or
connections?
Check the engine room daily for any leaks
or loose connections.
Is there sufficient fuel in the fuel tank?
Refill fuel in advance to avoid running out
of fuel. If the tank runs out of fuel, bleed
the fuel system. See Air Bleeding from the
Fuel System After Starting Failure on
page 41.
When operating the engine at low speed
for long periods of time, race the engine
once every 2 hours. Racing the engine
with the clutch in NEUTRAL, accelerate
from the low-speed position to the
high-speed position and repeat this
process about five times. This is done to
clean out carbon from the cylinders and
the fuel injection valves.
Neglecting to race the engine will result in
poor smoke color and reduce engine
performance.
Periodically operate the engine near
maximum speed while underway. This will
generate higher exhaust temperatures,
which will help clean out hard carbon
deposits, maintain engine performance
and prolong the life of the engine.
