COOLING BD1005, BV1305 and BV1505 engines are normally fresh water cooled. This water circulates through the engine and on to a heat exchanger where it is cooled by sea water which is pumped through the cooling tubes. The sea water is then injected into the exhaust system (see diagram).

TROUBLE SHOOTING Beta diesels are very reliable if installed and serviced correctly, but problems can occur and the following list gives the most common ones and their solution. PROBLEM ENGINE DOES NOT START BUT STARTER MOTOR TURNS OVER OK Possible Cause Solution No fuel: Turn fuel cock on and fill tank.
Page 17
PROBLEM: ERRATIC RUNNING Possible Cause Solution Air in fuel supply: Check supply system for leaks and fix. Fuel lift pump faulty: Replace. Clogged fuel filter: Replace. Fuel return not fed back to the fuel Re-route pipe or clean. tank, or blocked pipe: Air filter blocked: Replace.
Page 18
PROBLEM: LOW POWER OUTPUT Possible Cause Solution Blocked fuel filter: Replace. Blocked air filter: Replace. Air in fuel system: Check system. Governor spring incorrectly mounted: Dealer to adjust. Single lever control not operating Disconnect speed control cable and move the lever by hand. Adjust cable. correctly: The electrical load is too large on start Disconnect or reduce the load.

PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION NOISE Possible Cause Solution Check gearbox oil level: Top up. “Singing” propeller: Check with supplier. Drive plate rattle at tickover: Check engine rpm (must be 850 rpm minimum in gear). Worn drive plate: Change.
