    RPM minimum

    I'm back from the Supertramp.Ich have the idle speed reduced to 680 RpM. At 650 RpM the engine runs a little poor because i have mounted to the engines the air compressors for the stabilizers. With 680 RpM switches the transmission smoth and quiet. Supertramp has the Transmission Velvet Drive...

    Many thanks to all for the interesting discussion :thumb: I have now found a operators manual from July 1983 of Lehmann Power: " When properly serviced and after the initial " break in " period your engine should idle within a general range of 600 to 700 RPM; when new, idle may be somewhat...

    RPM minimum

    in my service book I could find a indication, my idle speed is almost 900 RpM but the reverse gear is a bit hard in the pure noise. I change the speed with the adjusting screw or do I have to adjust the Bowden cables too? ______________ Norbert

    Diesel in Venezuela is currently $.02 per gal!!

    Yes I live in Venezuela, and the price of diesel is the only positive at this moment in Venezuela. This diesel price is only valid for vessels with a Venezuelan flag, others pay an international price-...............in theory. _______________ Norbert

    Raw Water problem

    This pump type is working with vacuum and not as paddeltyp. When the side pressure from the impeller is not good the vacuum pump is not operating. check the seal and see if the plate is completely smooth. __________________ Norbert

    Coolant loss

    Check your heatexchanger ( intercooler ) and the waterheater ( when the engine heat this Waterheater and the hotwater smells ) for leaks. _________________ Norbert
