Don,
My guess is dirty fuel as well, but you should also check your fuel lift pump
and also bleed the system.
Contact Farron at Beta too - he is a great resource.
PS - You were great in Miami Vice.
All the best,
Edd

Hello
We have a beta engine that has a stalling problem. It started a while ago when
idling. After some investigation and replacing fuel filters to no avail we
found a loose clamp on the fuel line which was letting air in. Problem fixed.
Sort off. It ran well for a while, but then... and t
I removed my collar so I could have it refinished. While it was out I
checked for core but found solid fiberglass. I bedded it with butyl and
have had no problems. I'm not a die hard fan of butyl and in some cases I
think it leaves much to be desired - Not in this case.

So from PYI (R&D Marine) the pre-drilled port is for finishing by drilling
and tapping for a set screw/lock bolt if the coupler does not have a
keyway. In my case, I asked for the online seller to add a keyway so the
pre-drilled hole serves no purpose. In smaller shafts they may not even

The Balmar Altmount Pulley kit was $443. For my engine, they vary. Fit over the
front flange was perfect. Really a nice machining job. The only thing I
didn’t like is that is that it is a fine 10 groove, rather than a K-6 that
most cars have. Got it at PKYS. That is a nice thing about the B

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions
Josh…same conclusion as Bill on dust and serpentine belts. I am running a
80amp Balmar alternator which is the top end of a single belt. Dust. No
matter what quality belt I buy. Dual belts may help, but as Bill
says…Serpentine is the man. But an expensive man. Pulleys are expensive I
gues
I believe you are correct. I love the idea of serpentine belts but as I
recall the conversion kits are approaching $1000. I can spend money where
and if needed on value added repairs and improvements, but $1000 for
something that isn't broke, phew! That's a hefty upgrade. Do you have a
cheaper
I discovered that most of the filth in my engine room was coming from the
V-Belts. So I swapped them out for serpentine belts. What an improvement.

Certainly possible. I hadn't considered that. I just emailed the
company. I'll let you know what they say.

One of the biggest problems with engine replacement is getting the bedding
correct. Beta addresses this by designing mounts that are designed to be
like for like with popular counterparts such as Yanmar and Universal. From
I have all the power I need with my new Yanmar 3YM30AE. I’m not sure where you
are getting your information that you need more than 30 HP.
One big disadvantage of Beta is that there are not nearly as many parts
distributors—this is more important if you cruise to foreign ports.

Bill,
Thanks for letting me know how "excited" you are. In regards to the
coupling there is what appears to be a predrilled partial hole. I imagine
it might be for a set screw or lock screw. It does not extend through to
the shaft. I'm not sure it is visible in any picture. Anybody have any

I agree, get yourself a nice Beta 37 ½ HP diesel, and a 3 blade flex-a – fold.
I replaced a 4-108 with one of those Kubota’s, the mounting was about 2 inches
narrower, I just had to get some 3” aluminum (or maybe 4”) angle to replace the
old steel angle. You will be amazed at how much lighter
Looks great.
That transmission flange still gives me a woody.
Now, If you are going to continue these instructional videos, and I think you
should, I think you should Redd up the engine compartment, get some nice white
epoxy going on in there, and some strip LED’s around the periphery.
That part of the deck was solid glass when I installed turning blocks while
leading the various lines aft.

I also used Trident 147 for my bilge pump (and shower pump) - it is nice to
work with, cleans easily and because it is partially clear you can see if
there is water in it or if you have a blockage. Only had it installed for
2 years, but so far looks and feels like new.

all over the world inexpensively and was designed to be serviced easily (e.g.
built in oil pump). Great engine and great service by Beta. Go with 38. Can
