Engine Parts

[Scott Christian]

I have a 1980 27' with a Reneult single cylinder diesel engine. Does anyone know where to get parts for this engine, such as impeller, alternator, etc. I've exhausted all other avenues.Thanks

Texas supplier.

Not much help I am afraid. But I remember a thread a few months back regarding the Renault. Pretty sure there was a supplier in Texas. Maybe you can find it in the "Forum Archives". Hopefully someone will remember.Have you called some of the larger engine suppliers, they might know a source? Torresen has been very helpful to me the past few years. In fact I just priced a new Yanmar and Westerbeke with them.
