They have Turbo’s, I just took them off to run them up. A lot has happened in the last couple of years, so I haven’t had a chance to get back to this as I now have nowhere to work on them. But hopefully in time I’ll be back back at it

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 Ah ! That explains it !,,, We were based in the North East of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and were Volvo Penta agents from mid 70s through to end of 90s . We supplied and overhauled ( complete rebuilds ) from MD 40 s right up to 162 s . Fantastic engines with excellent reliability . Happy Days

@@dfluke3698 wow very good, there would have been a demand for that kind of work up there. I live beside Edinburgh now, it took us over a year to find a house! huge demand down here for housing and very expensive, although its starting to quiet down a little now. Hopefully if I can get access to the back garden and build a workshop I can get back to the warden engines 😊

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 So how did you get involved with Volvo Penta ? I live in Coldstream .I worked a lot on the pilot boats in Orkney .

😂 yes actually I have an oil pump but pouring is faster, maybe there’s a better product

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 nice! Yah, 10-40 is slow to pump. Need a larger pump for that stuff. 🍻

Everything is on a long pause right now, I’ve had to move to Edinburgh, so the engines etc are in a shipping container and I’m now trying to get moved to somewhere where I can get back to working on them. Edinburgh is a lot harder than I thought to find space

Thanks, it’s been a crazy year, moving house, getting married etc so it’ll be a while before I’m back to working on her

Cool what are they in? They sound awesome, I can’t wait to get them restored

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 Well 2 of them have been in Brøyt Faceshovels i have an Brøyt X41 1984 mod that originaly had the TD100G in it and i must say the sound in the Gs are the coolest ones🤩 but that engine got overheated and scored due to old bearings in the waterpump so then i bougth overhaulig kit for the engine and started overhauling it but then i just saw how much work and time and money it took so it sat it aside so then i bougth 2 engines one form a Volvo F10 TD100A and 1 from a old Volvo buss THD100B both where part engines cuz the plan was too make 1 out off em but then i deiceded too buy another engine i knew of that had been in a Brøyt X50 TD100A 1980 mod so i picked up all the 3 engines at the same time and im now making the X50 engine ready too put it in the X41 but then i also got a deal that was too good too let go so i bougth another TD100A 😂😂😂 that i havent picked up yet so im pretty addicted to TD100 Engines 😂😂😂😂

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 you shud watch this one starting a TD100A in -7 kzfaq.infocBZIDnLG84s?feature=share

@@broyttube 😂wow that's a cold engine. nothing for a CAV starter tho 😊

So do you know where to connect block heater pump or heater up ??? Anyone

Thanks Robert yes I’ll look, I’m on the group 👍🏼

She’s a 40, yes there’s years of work in it but hopefully we’ll worth it if we can afford the diesel to go out a wee spin when she’s done 😂

Aye sure it’s not hard to fix 😂

Thanks Ellen :)

😂 There’s no Turbos fitted so unlikely to run on unless the valve stem seals where completely shot maybe, yeah 50 litres would make some smoke 😂 id have to destroy the carbon monoxide detector

Thanks Mickey 😂 yeah

Thanks Stewart, itl be awhile before we really get into everything, hopefully boat will be moved to where we can work on it in June

Thanks Paul, haha yes there mighty alright, the neighbour 2 doors down said he could feel them through his sofa 😂

Thanks Benji 👍

Haha would need some set of arms to do that! She’s 24volt

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 I wish I didn’t have to swing start the wee lister engines are hard enough think you’d need a few maniacs hands to crank that big thing you have 😂

Thanks Dickson, couple weeks should have her sorted 😉

Yeah it was a nice surprise 😊

Nice 👍 keep me posted

Am I right in saying there wouldn’t be that many 49’s about?

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 there aren’t many about, this particular one was a Ex police boat which spent a lot of its years in Gibraltar as an enforcement vessel

@@paulmach5she in good condition?

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 far from it unfortunately!

Thats interesting, thanks G 👍 You should hear her now 😊 we fitted it back in the boat on Wednesday. Ill be checking all the wiring in a couple weeks to make sure his alarms work. Ive noticed a number of the old engines in boats have handle cranking points on the front. I guess the pull starts would have been in the generators

Thanks, yeah it was the closet one to grab 😂 my oily dive light

Thanks Aaron, hope your keeping well 👍

Thanks bro 👍 hope u can get up and running with the lessons again soon

hook a really long chain onto it and the other end on a lighthouse somewhere and then take off flat out :)
