Engines / Water not circulating around calorifier
« on: August 22, 2022, 07:06:20 PM »
Hi folks,
Got a ListerPetter LPW4 fitted in a Norfolk Broads boat. Ran her up river yesterday and the hot water was cold. I've had a check of the system today and its all a bit strange. Referring to the attached diagram I pulled off pipe 1 with the engine running and a tiny trickle of water came out (Flow to the heater). Same for pipe 2 (Return from the heater). The engine isn't over heating, runs fine and when warmed up you can feel heat in the places I've marked as hot.

Any ideas why the water isn't moving around the heater ?

Thanks
Stu

Hi

I think my alternator has packed up. No charge and rev counter stopped working. The current one is marked as Bowers Midland BA03001.  Serial G.7.13. 12v 75a.

Any suggestions where to get a replacement please?

Stu

Listeroid Engines / What type of engine do I have ?

Hi folks,

Just bought Broad Smile from the Norfolk Broads and had her transported to Gloucestershire to run up the River Avon and Severn. Can anyone tell me the /model of the engine please (I know its a Lister Petter)?

She runs lovely but quite hot compared to my old V8 at 90°C or thereabouts. Also the oil pressure is a lot lower, at idle when fully hot 15psi. At cold its about 30psi. How does this compare to the specs ? She has just been to Boulters to have a full service.

Anything else I should be looking out for on the engine apart from the usual?

Thanks

Stu
