I am NEW in Diesel Engine.
When the engine runs like 30 min it starts to boil and the engine starts shaking like mad.
The engine stops providing power. Although this engine has been checked last month.
Does any one know what the cause could be? |

the Boil would indicate you are not moving your coolant. Check you thermostat and your water pump. Has the engine been run in shallow water where it could pump mud into the cooling system??
Is it a salt water motor?? A few more clues will help? |

HI solarrog,
Thanks for your reply.
Its a closed cooling system with cooling pipes running under the boat. So there is no fresh water pumped in. I will check the water pump and the thermostat. This is old engine you could be right that these items are need to be replaced.
I will check and let you know if it worked. Thanks ,

Hi stevea,
try the sabb website : http://www.sabb.no/eng/contentpg.aspx?zone=15
there are Sabb dealers listed, or je might try Sabb self.
Thanks to solarrog,
I have checked the thermostat and it seems to be working now.
thanks for your great help. |

A week ago I heard that SABB has destroyed all parts for the engines they built themselves, that means the 8 and 10 hp, and all the rest.
I have not asked them myself, but a man who deals a lot with old engines, taking care of them told me so... it is a tremendous loss for all who loves old engines. But, this is the common thing in Norway, their excuse is that there is no money in parts for old engines. These engines were built to last for almost ever, and the new generation people who take over the businesses is economists, they want to sell engines that only last a little while so they can sell a new engine.
I am truly sorry about this.

I am NEW in Diesel Engine.
I would like to know if there are other propellors that i can us in stead the original Sabb variable pitch propeller.
My goal is the change the 2 blade prop. with a 3 blade prop. To have more trust when cruising on open water.

Info please. Engine single cylinder Sabb, problem, lube oil will not run from cup on top of rocker arm cover. I have stripped down and cleaned with-out success. Engine has been in narrowboat since 1973 and is still superb apart from this niggling problem.

Hello Kenneth.
First I want to say that the info I gave above about no parts for the SABB engines seems to be wrong. I have information that SABB deliver parts for the 4 stroke engines they made themselves, but not for the 2 stroke engines.
Then to your problem about the lube oil to the inlet valve. This tube is to be used for starting/cold starting only. It is not a lubrication of the valve in the normal sense. The user of the engine is supposed to squirt 6 strokes with a normal lubricating can down the tube before starting. This is supposed to lubricate the valve face and seat to give better compression during start, and lubricate the cylinder. Some used to thin the oil with a little diesel.
But Kenneth, do you have the proper manuals for your engine ? |
