Chapter One
This
shop manual covers the GM Yanmar ma
-
rine diesel engine series identified in Table 1.
Troubleshooting, tune - up, maintenance and repair are
not difficult, if you know what tools and equipment to use
and what to do. Step
- by - step instructions guide you
through jobs ranging from simple maintenance to com
-
plete engine overhaul.
This manual can be used by anyone
from a first - time
do
- it - yourselfer to a professional mechanic. Detailed
drawings and clear photographs provide all the informa
-
tion needed to do the work right.
Some
ofthe procedures in this manual require the use of
special tools. The resourceful mechanic can, in many
cases, think of acceptable substitutes for special tools.
However, using a substitute for a special tool is not recom
-
mended, as it can be dangerous and may damage the part.
If a tool can be designed and safely made, but will require
some type of machine work, contact a local community
college or high school that has a machine shop curricu
-
lum. Shop teachers sometimes welcome outside work that
can be used as practical shop applications for students.
Each Yanmar marine diesel can be identified by its indi
-
vidual model number. The model numbers for all Yanmar
marine diesel engines covered in this manual are listed in
Table 1.
Some engine model numbers end with the letters F or D,
such as 2GMF or
3GMD. Suffix letter F indicates the en -
gine is equipped with a freshwater (closed) cooling sys -
tem. Suffix letter D indicates the engine is equipped with a
Kanzaki
KBW 1 OD transmission.
Except where specified, F and D series engines are in
-
cluded when a basic model number is specified. For ex -
ample, if model 3GM is called out in a procedure, the
procedure also applies to 3GMD and
3GMF.
