Topic: Farymann won't shut down
The 27 year old Farymann 18W (began life as a 15W) single cylinder diesel that is the auxiliary power for my equally aging Contessa 26’ sailboat has been rebuilt twice and generally provides reliable power.
It has recently taken on a new and difficult to manage bad habit. It refuses to shut down when the lever is pulled.
I have checked and/or reset every adjustment listed in the service manual to no avail.
The Bosch PFR 1K injector pump is providing fuel at the correct timing and the throttle gives a smooth idle and a healthy cruising speed.
I am wondering if it is possible that the rack on the injection pump begins to fail by not shutting off the fuel supply when asked to do so by the control.
Any thoughts on this frustrating problem would be appreciated.
