Priming and starting the Mercruiser 1 7l diesel WE THOUGHT! EBAY Australia to the rescue
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 дек 2022
- We are changing the Searay 240 form v8 gas to 4cyl Mercruiser Cummins Diesel 1.7l for the low fuel consumption and safety on the waters here in the Philippines. I want to run the power plant and find any repairs it could possibly need before installing it.
We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be a part of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.
James and Melinda

I like that fact you are a glass half full type of guy and always can find a positive side to issues you run into. It's a great reason why I'm always looking forward to your vids.
I have been a mechanic for years. And thought the same thing when you said that the starter failure was a blessing and for the same reason. And was going to mention that having some sort of small trolling type of motor is a great idea for limping home if needed. Great minds think alike and think ahead. Have a great day bro!
Right on
That was a good time to find out that the starter was toast. I noticed that you do have plenty of Lube aka Motion Lotion. 😁
Good thought on the kicker motor...seems like a great idea.
It is! Good Morning
This engine is actually based on the Opel Y17DT engine. They are very easy to crack if they are in good condition.
Seems like you need a good multimeter there brother. It would definitely speed things along as far as wiring goes. Last time we were there my father in law ask me to do some electrical repairs and I couldn’t because I needed my multimeter. I felt bad about it but I’ve been shocked enough that I don’t mess with electricity without a good tool to tell me which wire is live and when. Makes life easier 👍👍👍
Us Aussie’s say gday mate
Very informative about Australia eBay. Happy holidays
How y'all work in flops or bare feet is beyond me!!lol no way for me
Get some starting fluid Mr. James , we used them on Diesels all the time in the cold so you can surely us it there sir
Hi james
Charge up your new battery new or not a fully charged battery will work so much better . Constant cranking will suck the life out of your new battery.
And its gid day short for good day.
Cya mate have a good day.
Those battery terminals you have are used in the car stereo with amps and subwoofers genre.
Those are sold for commercial trucks
@@TexasFilipino When you're shopping Amazon or Ebay for car amps, subwoofers, those pop up for best to use. That's why I bought them, and are sold at car stereo installation places where I live. Including Bestbuy. Maybe in the Philippines that's what they're sold for.
When you sead started took a dump I sead to my self better now then in the boat . Lol take it easy boss
G'Day!!!😷
Dang it , I thought we were gonna see some tubing behind the boat this weekend , bummer 😢 what outdrive are you putting on the diesel ? 👍😎
haters gonna hate , troll farm here today . i know you will do it how you gonna do it since youre the one doin it ..git r done
I do the same with Amazon and buying online...
Shipping addresses in Dubai and Mn...Florida is also an option if needed, or Germany...
When I get back there, I'll add another PH address lol!
Good luck with the starter motor delivery, sounds like it's well underway, almost there...
It would be nice if at some point you could find a second engine to use as parts...
I like to have Plan B/C as much as possible...It's saved my behind more than once over the decades...
Not sure how common such engines are to be found, maybe like looking for hen's teeth?
Anyway...It's almost there with running too...it was close to kicking in...It'll be sweet to hear it take off...Should be more than enough power for the boat...
In Minnesota with Winter weather it can be a real bear getting your gear operational, to include the engine, diesel or gas...
Guess that's why I'm not up there much, I'm kinda the same in my old (soon not yet!) age...
I need the heat (and ocean, palm trees, sun, etc.)! The PH is just the place to get all that and more!
👍😆👍
James, a small can of ether would help with initial start, with using it sparingly. Glad you found a starter for that engine. Best of luck with getting it running. 😊. You actually didn’t fail, and it nearly started, so I call it just a delay.☃️🎅🎄🎅
You probably find a starter shop in Iloilo that will rewind the motor & put new brushes in it for less money or get it rebuilt & keep it as a spare, I know you like spares. LOL. It probably has a safety feature built in that won't let it start if it does't sense oil pressure and/or check your fuel rail, it might be stuck. Just sayin
Well I have been here for years and went thru all of that rebuild in Iloilo stuff and every single time they failed shortly or lacked power. No body has time for that. I want quality not cheap out.
There is nothing stopping it. We drain the fuel system to ship it including the injection pump. We are bleeding it out and the stater quit.
James, what's wrong with the engine in the boat now? The gasoline engine.
It is very hungry for high dollar fuel - I would not be able to enjoy it because it willbe eating my wallet! I am not about speed here just efficiency and reliability
@@TexasFilipino Diesel cheaper than gas in the Philippines? If the engine was bad, I could understand the extra hard work to change out the engine. Run it until it doesn't run anymore, then make that change. I guess with that 3 cylinder Diesel you won't be going anywhere fast if you wanted to. You can still go slow with the gasoline engine. No more than you will be using that boat. Maybe me being 59 years old I think if it ain't broke, run it. Not trying to upset you at all, just don't see the reason why at this point.
James, I wasn't trying to bust your chops, upset you at all. I'm just a dumb ole boy that believes in if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Like you said you ain't going for speed, but you don't have to run what you have in the boat wide open if that's the case. Again I am just a dumb ole man who doesn't know nothing about nothing.
diesels are hard to crank once they run out, had this happen on a 99 f250 with the 7.3L international motor, pain in the butt.
Damn James all these backyard mechanics that motor should have started on the first crank (haha) I know it the first motor you ever worked on (haha) especially after watching your farm videos! Oh yea the OSHA comment was another gut buster, must have not seen your CONSTRUCTIO videos, my biggest concern was an open wound and Lyme from concrete getting into the blood stream but I know different world there, I remember all the rubber boots you bought
Glad to see Cap was wearing osha approved Philippine footwear. Don't know if you rig a way to pos pressure the fuel tank and bleed the fuel lines worked for me in the past. I know you're done with it. Good luck 🤞
What smart arse said you could've patched that ring with good old gorilla tape
Glad you find one ,ripp of Britain James I no cos its cost so much to live here ,carnt wait to get back to Philippines 😁
Hello my friend I hope yourself & Capps are well. Question === Hey I'm not a big fan of starting fluids but in cases like this with a lot of bleeding needed or old worn diesel engines . we used them alot on old tractors
& such we used the ones with upper cylinder Lubricant in it did you not have any ?? I heard Capps say use a gased rag . I figure you have a reason for not using especially with your farm / country boy experience lmao 😂. Just wondering? They really help with firing a stubborn one off . I'm with you on being glad you replaced that old starter they don't have but so many cranks in them & being broke down at sea is no joke or fun .
Po I really liked those battery connectors you picked up from Lazada I've not seen them I want a few of them also that's really a cool design & I like the material they are made out of James. GOD BLESS YALL Po .
MABUHAY .
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You need a pressurized fuel pump to run those diesels as you need fuel line pressure or they do not spray enough for the engine to run. Also a shot of ether would have been bad
this engine DOES NOT require a fuel pump. WRONG
❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🏻🙏🏻🤠
I WILL never understand, saving the beach and a diesel boat in the ocean, get a sailboat, true viking
most sail boats have diesels in them and they motor about a lot because there is not always a wind or a favorable one. geez.
Where is the starting fluid
James if you put a battery on concrete it will loose charge through the concrete, don't know why but every timewe did it it happened, boat guy told us never leave a battery on the floor it drains the power
50 years ago your comment would be true but the plastic case of the battery insulates it 100%. If the case was oily or wet you might lose some charge but normally no
Just there for the time starting it
Kelly is correct
I guess you don't have people hunting you down in the Philippines about your vehicles extended warranty. 🤣
nope they dont even want to deal with any warranty
NOT YA PAP PE lmao 🤣 I heard that Sh-t I hate that crap I get that & insurance calls all the time Po . I block the number that calls & those tricky basta-ds will call on another number & have even used our local area codes so they look like a local . Lmao 🤣 I hope yall are well Bawahahahaha peace out sir . 🙏 God Bless yall for sure .mabuhay 🙏
No concern about Mother earth, no responsibility, why are so good ar saving and use ur materials to the bone, and spoil it all
Hold my hand and lets sing! Meanwhile everything you buy at the store is shipped via massive ships using diesel. In fact more in one hour than that boat would probably burn in its lifetime. Then deliver to where you live by trains burning diesel and by trucks burning diesel. Then the refrigerator and lights in the store and most likely in your house also derived from fossil fuels also. Well if you flew here for vacation oops again your on a plane burning kerosene/ diesel. I don't care if you like what I have to say or not. I detest stupidity.
Wow a lot of negative people on here😢 but I just wanted to know if it has glow plugs? But if it does i figured you would of checked them. Great deal on that starter 👍 best of luck with it! Enjoy your videos, looking forward to her maiden voyage 🚣. Maybe we might make it up your way, have a coffee with you👌
Yes it has been become very hard to vlog these days with so many know it all and crass people. It is taking the enjoyment of the comment section away from me that in turns takes the enjoyment of the vlog away from me. No this engine does no0t have glow plugs. It simply needs the injector and injectors primes but the starter pooped out right off the bat. I noticed it was slow from the start. I guess I should become a fake vlogger and get it all running perfect before I video and then start it and say oh look it started perfect. LOL This is what I get for keeping it real. Thank you Chris for commenting and hope we have that cup of coffee.
