Hi Leigh,
Your engine is rated at 3.5 hp.
If you need a workshop manual or owners manual contact the people here. http://www.minardsdiesel.com/
They are very helpful. I have a copy of both booklets.
They are only photo copies, but do the job.
Nice engine you have there.
Paul. |

Thanks Paul.Good news about 3.5hp as when going will be fitted into a 15ft restored motor boat and i,m in Tasmania and any boat powered with 4hp plus requires regostration and a licence to operate |

That should read.
Tasman Peninsula.
Leigh, the most important thing with these engines is the prop.
Your manual, when you get one, will give you a recommended prop size.
Stick to that prop. I have never seen any of the NTS series engines run properly with anything other than the recommended prop.
Good luck.
Paul. |

Hi Leigh,
yes I know that boat and have known it's owner most of my life.
Minnards are good to deal with, you should have no problems.
I think the YSE-8, rotation is opposite to the NTS, ????? . Not sure.

You may possibly need to get the injector serviced.
Any injector service centre should be able to do that for you.
I would be reluctant to remove the shims till, you knew their purpose.
A call to Minnards at this stage might help you.

Hi Leigh,
Head tension is given as 12.4 m-kg.
Great attention is given in the instruction about tightening the bolts evenly.
Valve clearance is given between .2 - .3 mm.
With valves closed.
Hope this helps.

The shims are for adjusting the injector timing.
Add shims to retard,remove shims to advance
