worm emerges...... I would be able to fish more than none or one comp a year! I feel a new thread coming on.......

Late but hope you had a great day Terry. Trev

On balance looking at all of this I would look at fouling for the speed prop issue. ........ and as Nige says very important to find out where that coolant is going!

Not suggesting any sustained running WOT with no load, but just a run up and off when achieved. This would eliminate sticky throttle or some sort of mechanical setting / failure in the throttle system. Would not tell you something about every type of engine, but this was started re TAMD Volvo Penta.

Ouch!!! Would not suggest trying this option personaly Dave Dave, why wouldn't you rev an engine not in gear? Rob Yest................... Dave, why not? My thoughts too Rob. Whilst one would clearly not run any engine for long periods at WOT unnecessarily, - and without being loaded particularly, I would consider WOT testing essential, as part of the diagnosis and process of elimination. I would also, suggest that most subtle fuel flow, air flow and air to fuel line leak problems do not displayed well, until under load and demanding higher/highest power output / fuel air use. (been there). Trev

The aftercooler is after the turbo - in front of the inlet manifold. ( mechanic serviceable part I would suggest). I have heard that the Volvo 31's and 41's tend to blow out surplus coolant readily if even slightly over filled. Can you see any sign of this happening to your 22? you could check by taping a poly bag (securely) over the overflow pipe and running up. I would also be inspecting the engine thoroughly for signs of leakage to eliminate that it is not being ingested into the engine. Check for condensation / emulsion on the oil filler cap and inside the rocker cover.

Long shot. Is the after cooler cooling properly, is the core clean on both air and water side?

Nice one James!!

Hi Graham, Exclusively cold smoking with this one as it is fashioned from a converted SS freezer cabinet, and I think it would have to be very carefully thought out before applying heat due to the type of insulation used. I will be looking into hot smoking for small trout, mackerel and birds or the like. Much to do with cold smoke though and in any event, many things which are cold smoked and then roasted have very little difference from true hot smoking if the right techniques are applied. Out digging horse radish tomorrow to make a sauce for these babies.

Just showing one half of the smoker. currently running with 7 racks but could go to 30 and take 75 3kg+ fish (150 sides). Could take 2 whole roe deer Now there's a challenge. Cod next!!!!

Adam, What did you see on 'The Sky'.........

There should be a poltis or linctus for that!!

Dan! Simple solution mate Put a coat on and stop winging!!! There will come a day when you don't get a pass Be strong chap............ BE STRONG

Try this Bit longer but right size engine.

...................and or the balance - moving the axle. will your man let you try it?

How great to see you out Jim! Come and bother us in Xchurch sometime!

Tomo, Sorry to read this chap but thanks for the heads up. Can you get the cctv footage on youtube and facebook? Somrone might finger the little tw@s.

Perhaps the correct question would be, how big is your boat and what space do you have? A photo would be good. I can get a few sizes of bin.

Gordon, How big a tank do you want?

Ditto

What a cracker Jim...... well done

You are officially an 'old fart' as I did hear a distinct squeak Enjoy

any man who can offer me two 'oars for 15 quid deserves a favour or two........................

He can borrow my trailer foc now, which hopefully will be sat around for 360 days of the year doing absolutely naff all.
