Re: [Cal_Boats] Farymann diesel fuel system bleeding (Joe)

Joe, Thank you for explaining this to John AND to the rest of us who have the Farymann A-30. Fantastic information!

Some A30M engines have a Hurth transmission, most have the Nanni. Valve clearance as printed in the manual is incorrect. It should be .015" [ fifteen thousanths of an inch] cold, for both valves. The A30M is rated 12hp @ 2500 rpm. A 120*F thermostat is standard. The engine does have an "excess fuel starting devise", to assit in cold weather starting. It is manually operated by a lever, and automatically disengages when the engine reaches a certain rpm. Joe DeMers Sound Marine Diesel LLC www.soundmarinedieswww.so

You are welcome, Gregg. These are interesting engines, those old A30Ms. By the way, Beta Marine makes a direct replacement engine for this Farymann. It is a 2 cylinder fresh water cooled Kubota diesel of 13.5hp.

Joe, Great to finally meet you at the Newport show! If I hadn't happened to glance at your name tag when we were chatting I never would have known it was you...and since I was wearing the Fischer Panda Generators tag instead of the MMES one, you probably wouldn't have realized who I was either. Hope to see you again soon, and thanks for all the knowledge you bring to this group! Best-Mark Mark & Terry Rogers Mobile Marine Electrical Services, Inc. "Seirenia" 1966 Cal 36
