I wouldn’t trust TD to oil the chain on my bike, let alone anything else. As I’ve posted else where, after talking to skippers who where working at the same time as TD. The considered opinion is that he claims to have more experience than he has. Full of shit would be the less polite way of describing him.

The Fraudster's Playbook, Vol.1.
1. Claim greater experience and qualifications than you actually have. 2. Slight any detractors at every opportunity. 3. Say everything in a loud voice.
There's more but I need a cup of tea.

Anybody got a recommendation for a boost starter pack? I’ve just replaced my starter battery unfortunately Whilst being only 14ah smaller than the old one it has less CCA’s . It has successfully started the engine once, but won’t do it successfully every time. It just runs out of Ommph. It will be fine in summer but some kind of booster pack in winter might be the go. Any recommendations. I'd recommend removing the engine and placing it on the stern deck for three weeks.

The good sound advice, and the information, provided by Tony Brooks in his answers to the questions asked in this thread, however clear and correct his replies are, will almost certainly be completely lost on the mindless arsewipe at which the replies are directed. The engine in question is a Ruston 3YWA ex-generator engine - originally one of the auxiliaries in the BWB lower Trent (Dredgings) Discharger "TRENDIS", and it certainly WAS in good order when first installed botched into A41 [aka Medlock] the leaking, concrete-filled, and in reality, uninsurable wreck that the vacuous irresponsible owner is so stupidly proud of. The kindest, most generous way the entire installation can be described is that it's an unreliable cobbled-up mess that propels the boat at around the same sort of speed that's achievable by a ruptured duck, all whilst shaking itself to bits and destroying itself a little more every time it runs. The permanently overloaded engine - prop matched for a 3:1 Reduction ratio, but running through a badly misaligned free-standing 2:1 reduction PRM box that gets through drive plates in a matter of only a few hours of use - never achieves anywhere near full rated rpm, bounces around on its flimsy inadequate mountings almost as if it isn't bolted down at all, and produces clouds of black smoke underway. There are other problems/latent defects with the engine itself - the most serious being the loose crankshaft drive-end extension - but I've neither the time, nor the inclincation, to list the other faults/defects or to advise on the attention needed to prevent the inevitable consequences of continuing to ignore any or all of them, . . particularly the loose crankshaft drive-end extension, the significance and effect of which will be immediately apparent to any competent engineer familar with the Ruston 3YWA. Given that it's in the hands of one of the most objectionable, ungrateful, stupid and inept specimens it's ever been my misfortune to encounter, and the overall state of the engine and installation, . . NOT starting/running is probably the best way to leave it. On reading through the guff that mindless arsewipe kris posted here yesterday, it couldn't be clearer that pretty much everything I said in the above post is justified, accurate, and true. The necessity for a battery jump start pack - the very necessity that gave rise to the post that opened this thread/topic - has become, at least in whatever it is that kris uses instead of a mind, . . a fuel and fuel feed problem. This is an easy mistake to make of course, the symptoms and sources of both of those common engine starting and running problems being so similar, and so easily confused, . . particularly with engines fitted with fuel filtration equipment that's so well maintained and efficient that fuel blockages *occur BETWEEN the fuel filter and the engine (injector pumps). I can't wait to see what Mr Ineptitude comes up with today, . . will it be more of the same side-splitting mechanical/technical stuff, . . or will he try to divert attention away from his own sheer stupidity by digging up and re-posting some examples of the made-up mindless crap he's publicly directed at me over a considerable number of years -- as the objectionable little turd usually does after, once again, openly making a complete fool of himself on here. * See mindless arsewipe kris's post: < thunderboat.boards.net/post/388150/thread > Predictable as ever, . . mindless arsewipe kris responded almost exactly as expected, . . with this : - < thunderboat.boards.net/post/388218/thread > In addition to the oft repeated made-up drivel about the engine timing, however, there was some newly dreamed-up stuff, . . about how he's been talking with some of the Trent boatmen/skippers who knew and worked with me. This is a remarkable achievement, . . given the fact that most of them are long dead and gone. As for the handful that are left, . . I can't think of any who would as much as be willing to give the little shit the time of day, . . let alone bad-mouth an old and respected friend and colleague to a complete stranger.

Tony, why don’t you buy a new boat and run it aground on the sand bank at Barton Island? That’ll show crt.

Well, . . what a surprise, . . now the lying little shit wants to sidestep the last lot of lies and drivel he was spouting, and switch the attention to something else. Not good enough, . . arsewipe, . . let's have some where and who answers to what I posted a andbove earlier. Who are these ". . other skippers that operated on the Trent . . ." ? Have they got names ? Where was it you were talking to them, . . and when was it ?

Just to follow up for any one who’s interested. All sorted now, fortunately there was no diesel bug or this new “sticky diesel.” New filter fitted all pipes blown out and bled up. There was an issue with two of the needle valves in the fuel pumps sticking. Took these apart cleaned, put back together working fine now. Its running great again now, so I moved my boat. Thanks to everyone who has contributed positively to this thread.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed positively to this thread. Diesel engines DO NOT have "needle valves" in their "fuel pumps". Petrol engines, on the other hand, DO have needle valves - sometimes referred to as float valves - in the float chambers of their carburettors. Diesel engines DO have Delivery Valves under the high pressure pipe connections - known as Delivery Valve Holders - of their Fuel Injection Pumps. How would the portable battery jump starter pack you were asking for recommendations about, and the sole reason for opening this thread/topic, have helped with an engine starting problem caused by dirty/gummy/contaminated fuel on the engine side of the fuel filter ? Have you had special training to become the objectionable useless specimen you are, . . or was it a facility you were born with ?

I learnt everything I know about being objectionable from you Tony. But I’ll never match your ability at being a nasty cunt. Why don’t you run your boat aground at Barton island to teach crt a lesson? Oh I forgot you haven’t got a boat anymore, just because you where too tight to get a safety cert. Even when I’d got an inspector to do one for you as a project boat for £50. So you lost halcyon daze for sake of £50. Now that’s belligerent!
