B-1505 lubrication over the winter


Now that I have changed the filter and oil and winterized


my B-1505, (only 10 hours on the new engine) is there anything I should do over the winter


or prior to the first time I start the engine in the spring


to insure that when I first start it in there will


be sufficient lubrication in the cylinders?


It seems to me the oil will have setteled out over the layup


period and there will be little or no lubrication when the


engine is first started.


Thanks for any insight.

Hello Mike,


If you have followed the instruction in the 'Operators Maintenance Manual' you have done all you need to.  The only additional item I might suggest is to remove the Raw Water pump Impeller and smear it with petrolum jelly (Vaseline).  Do not replace the impeller until the spring, this will prevent the blades taking on a 'set' and keep them supple.


Don't worry about starting in the spring, diesel fuel itself acts a lubricant and the engine oil will circulate immediately upon cranking the engine.


Happy New Year....


Bob.
