The I on the 37R is 54. Did you see the list of sails I sent to the list
today that are for sale from the 37R that was scrapped last week?

Was there a No. 4 on that list? I'm on my phone so I can't check.

Re: Stus-List Engine idle speed

[Rick Taillieu via CnC-List]

John,

 

Go here http://l-36.com/ , select Manuals, then scroll down to the Westerbeke 
section.

Try all the pubs listed for your engine because some of the links look to be 
mixed up.

Pg 34 of the W27 and W27a technical manuals say to set the idle speed to 
800-1000 rpm.

All this discussion of engine (Universal M4-30) starting has reminded me of 
something I want to do in the spring, but am not sure how to approach.  My 
engine runs fine at idle, which is around 1000rpm (don’t remember exactly what 
gauge reads).  If I shift into reverse it almost always stalls.  If I advance 
the throttle slightly, it does not stall.  This is obviously a real problem 
when docking as I can’t count on slowing down when I need to without restarting 
the engine.  So the question is: what is how to advance the idle speed 
slightly?  I can imagine doing this at the Edson lever end or the engine end 
and not sure which is the right or best way to do it.  Thanks- Dave

I would imagine around 800-900 rpm. As someone mentioned, the transmissions 
cringe when you ask them to shift at anything higher than 1000 rpm. Anything 
below 800 usually means that the engine vibrates excessively, especially, if 
you don’t have too many cylinders (2?).

Re: Stus-List Throttle Return Spring - Yanmar 2GMF

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

We have a similar problem with our 3GM30F.  In our case over time will throttle 
back from cruising speed at 2800 RPM to approx. 2200.  This is usually only a 
problem if making a delivery under motor as it decreases speed by nearly 1 
knot.  I use a small bungee cord when cruising or delivering to overcome this.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Throttle Return Spring - Yanmar 2GMF

The throttle tension screws only appeared after ’83 or so on the Edson model 
816 and 870 dual lever controls.  Up til then, many builders would install a 
clamp on the cable to prevent the spring from returning your throttle to idle 
without holding it down.  Some boats, like my 83 Landfall 35 had the Edson 747 
engine control that sat between the wheel and the pedestal with two additional 
steel tubes that contained the control cables.  Since there was no way to 
induce friction on the cables using the controller, the only option was the 
friction clamp placed inline on the cable.  My boat has a very long cable since 
the engine is mounted backwards in the boat and the cable needs to circle 
around the engine and all the way back to the throttle rack.  One would think 
there would be sufficient friction in the cable, but there isn’t.

Regarding the friction screw inside the pedestal, you’ll find a phillips head 
screw on the cast boss that holds the throttle lever control.  This screw bears 
down on a white Delrin bushing that reduces friction between the aluminum 
casting and stainless lever assembly.  Turning the screw clockwise SLOWLY will 
increase the friction on the bushing.  If there is no friction when pushing the 
lever forward and releasing it, the lever will return on its own to the idle 
position.  Turn the screw to apply just enough friction so that the lever stays 
in place when you push the lever forward, but not so tight that you have to 
force it to return to idle.  It is a fine tune adjustment, but you’ll get the 
idea when it is right.  Also, when the compass is off, make sure that the 
internal lever doesn’t move so far forward that the lever itself hits the 
pedestal guard.

I also understand there is a 'throttle tension screw' under the compass of the 
Edson pedestal.

Any advice/experience with this adjustment is appreciated.

My throttle cable has a clamp on it which crushes the outer cable to provide

spring in the diesel pump throttle lever.

Has anyone any experience removing the 'clamp' on the cable and adjusting only 
the 'return spring' to properly tension the throttle cable so that it stays at 
a set RPM rather than slowing decreasing until it reaches it 'set point'.

I somewhat like the idea of tensioning the 'return spring' instead of using an 
'adjustable clamp' on the throttle cable.

Re: Stus-List Engine idle speed

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

I have a device for measuring the rpm at the engine so I plan to do that when I 
adjust, but I can’t find anywhere in the service or owners manual what the 
“correct” idle speed should be.  Dave
