A few weeks ago I decided to install a spin on filter adapter for my Lucas CAV filter head on my old Westerbeke 30 and because of space the spin on filter is quite small......installation went well and I left for a cruise last Wednesday and after a 13 hr run the rpm's would just jump a few hundred and then settle back but the tach would jump to the end about 4 k so at first I thought the tranny was slipping and at the next port adjusted it a little but that didn't help so while motor sailing with no wind on a flat LI Sound it didn't act up unless a small wake or if I turned the wheel so it seemed to me that it might be a fuel issue cause the only thing that Ichanged was the filter so I removed the adapter and put the old system back cause I kept all the parts and had a brand new filter on board.
I'm leaving port Monday and hoping that I solved this problem cause I wonder if I didn't how the boat will react if I hit a strong current......so far Its been going in my direction
any comments?
