Flushing the Cooling Passages of a Marine Diesel Engine - Voyage Dreams 83

Work continues on my sailboat's Yanmar 1GM Diesel engine. Here I get the engine running again (thankfully) to clear the cooling passages of calcified buildup using diluted muriatic acid. No starter motors were harmed in the making of this video.
Thank you to my friend for the generous use of his shop.

I purchased 1982 Cape Dory 25D Hull #1 a couple of months ago. You're videos have been a great resource for me. Thanks for sharing!!

For an easy start .engage the decompressor start the engine couple second and drop the decompressor it will start right away and run smooth

Good job 👍

Thank you, great video. I hope you can explain the refrigeration cycle for beginners in detail if you have time

Thanks for making these videos. I sail a typhoon senior; little sister to the 25d.

Great video. They are great little engines. You are doing a great job of showing the intricacies of how the fuel system works and the cooling system. Thank you for the details! If I had space I too would pull the engine so I could work on it. Getting around that 1GM in my 25D is challenging. How does the oil pan look. I had quite a bit of water in the area underneath the engine when I bought her. It was coming from topside. I believe coming from the trim around the rudder/tiller. Thanks again!

The white smoke while cranking is un-combusted fuel and air. Cool little motor!

Well done,

[@gking5522]

Persistence pays off. I would not usually attempt running the starter

Make sure you change out that raw water pump impeller!
