Re: Stus-List Racor filter 220

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Thanks Josh,

I use 2 micron filter as well. And i know it is an overkill. But it doesn't 
hurt, so I didn't plan to replace it. But if I had to replace it anyway, then i 
would be looking for something more appropriate (cheaper).

I keep my eyes open on ebay and find the filters from time to time in
varying conditions and prices.  $30-70 seems about average.  The elements
are available in 2, 10, and 30 micron.  I run a 2 micron on my 35hp with no
troubles.

As an alternative if you are looking to replace yours now with something
new you could try the 110A.  It is a 15gpm and cartridge style.  Only thing
to consider is that the cartridge is only available in 10 micron which
should be fine since most of us are only using these as a pre-filters.  The
engine has a primary filter that is 2 microns.

Stus-List Racor filter 220

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Hi, I have a question regarding a Racor filter 220 series. For the last 2 years I am fighting diesel leaks from the filter. Last year I found that the transparent bowl at the bottom had a crack and some fuel was leaking. Nothing serious, but enough to create the smell in the cabin. Of course, i replaced the bowl. Now i found that there is small leak at the plunger. Again, not much, it is just sweating. But the smell returned.

Now to the question. Is there a way to service the filter (actually, the top of the housing)? Is there a way to replace the seal on the plunger and if yes what would be the source for the parts?

I am hesitating, because the 220 series is quite expensive. The filter elements are almost double compared to other similar filters. 

I am thinking that if i have to replace the housing, possibly a better way would be to replace the filter with another model.

If I have to replace, what would be the recommendation? I have Perkins M20 (2 cylinder, 18 HP). I think that 220 series is a bit too big for what i need, but it does not hurt to have too much capacity there.

Thanks

Re: Stus-List Ok more atomic 4 issues...dammit!

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

I did indeed.  I got it sorted!  I think the fuel blocking the vent hose 
created an air leak on a not to tight house clamp at the carb.  We just ran her 
3 hours out to cuttyhunk!

Andy...let's have a chat if your still about.  We're here until Tuesday!

Danny,
 
Did you read Russ' post to a different topic:
 
Hi Gang,

I will share a fuel related A4 problem and the satisfactory resolution.

I had a condition where the A4 would quit, most often after slowing down from a 
run of hours. Very annoying when it happens while entering a marina or crowded 
harbour (i.e.: Prideaux Haven, Desolation Sound). No starting until cools a 
bit. I went through the coil troubleshooting, no luck.

It turned out to be my BLACK fuel filter housing installed opposite the carb, 
but more importantly the exhaust manifold. It seems the radiant heat from the 
exhaust manifold was hot enough to vapour-lock the fuel supply when I slowed 
down. I made up an aluminum foil shield (in the anchorage at Prideaux Haven) 
and it fixed the fault.

After the cruising season I did a circulating acid clean but still kept the 
heat shield in place.

Cheers, Russ

Okay so no wind today...

I pulled up to the gas dock, topped off water and fuel, loaded up and away we 
went.  Motor was running great!  Fired up left dock, motored away.  After about 
an hour she seemed to be running out of gas.  Stutter ed and stalled.  Five 
minutes later, after seeing sail, she started right back up.  We sail back to 
our home mooring.  I pull the filter on the sepertator, looked clean as the day 
I put it in.  Then I thought, maybe the vent is plugged...  well, it wasn't 
plugged but it is routed with a trap and that trap was filled with fuel.  Would 
this have been enough to starve the engine?

Stus-List Marine ssb installation

[Ebay via CnC-List]

Does anyone have experience with the "rope antenna".  It certainly appears to 
be an alternative to using the backstay and does provide options for placement. 
 Is there any reason to not simply wire tie it to the backstay?  As it is 
insulated I don't see an issue from the radio side.  Perhaps potential for 
interference from the backstay itself which in this case remains a part of the 
boat's electrical grounding system?

On a different note -   we have always had to place the antenna tuner very near 
the backstay and by default the autopilot.  With this antenna that placement 
could move to be just forward of the mast, just inboard and aft of the shrouds, 
etc.  Any thoughts on ideal placement?  I will be using the KISS counterpoise.  

Please keep in mind all of this is for a hobby installation that I would like 
to be fairly permanent.  No grand cruising plans in the foreseeable future.  
Mast is carbon (C&C 121).

Re: Stus-List Ok more atomic 4 issues...dammit!

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

 swapping the plugs.   they were all black and sooty

I also noticed that the clamp,  around the hose on the in side of the filter 
was loose and the filter spun freely.   the clamp at the inlet of the carb also 
looked lose as it was seeping slightly.

I changed the plugs, I have now changed both filters and tightened the hell out 
of the house clamps.   these were the clamp s  on there from Moyer.

the filter doeses seem to have some restriction but,  nothing major.  I put the 
new one on before I blew through it..

The carb is a fresh rebuild as of a few weeks ago...

I think it may have been a combination of the restricted vent along with the 
loose hose connections.  

Off for a sea trial...fingers crossed

Could be the carburetor. I've had this issue too many times. I chose to take 
off the carb, break it down completely and clean it out. Moyer Marine's A4 
guide is very useful.

Re: Stus-List Ok more atomic 4 issues...dammit!

[Paul Fountain via CnC-List]

Check your fuel lines ... The inner part may be collapsing ... Had this on a 
friends boat. Would run for a while, shut down .. After a while run again ... 
Tough to diagnose ... New lines fixed it
