Make that Westerbeke 10-2 - can't find a way to change Subject...
72* yesterday. Plans to spend afternoon on boat. Started motor when I arrived. Did a walk around to check standing rigging and prepare lines to leave dock. Took about 5 minutes, then
Motor quits.
Attempt to restart. Motor spins fine (2 new batteries on Nov 1). Won't fire/start.
Check water separating filter - no trash/water. Check tank - plenty fuel.
Checked on engine filters. Both look good, but replaced one anyway when I found it harder to blow through than I thought it should.
Attempted several restarts after filter inspection(s).
Just won't start...
Motor is on '87 O'Day 272 that I've owned 4 yrs.
Any suggestions of DIY before I contact a diesel mechanic?
