It's always something!
Westerbeke 38B-FOUR in my Tartan 3800. It's a four cylinder, 38HP diesel based on a Mitsubishi engine.
This weekend, when I tried to bring the engine back idle to cool down before shutting it off, it would only go down to 1000 RPM. Idle is usually around 700.
Next time it worked fine, went down to a shuddering 700 RPM.
Time after that, 1000.
What's going on? I've never experienced this before. It seems the speed control lever was making the full travel.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
jv
