I'm about to restore my P66 D. Would be nice to have a handbook.
Does there exist a spare copy somewhere or maybe a free download ?
Best regards

Jacob,
I'm after a Sole diesel manual - a more common item in Europe that here in Australia. I'll swap for a P66 manual. |

You can download Stuart P55M Manual from this link: http://www.internalfire.com/manolm.php?manufact=64&S1=Select
It is alsmost the same as the P66 just different bore size mainly. There is also one for a R3M if you are interested. And yes it is a free download |

I've emailed you a 3 page article from the UK Practical Boat Owner magazine. It is a very comprehensive article.
For a belt driven Siba Dynastart there is a separate instruction sheet No 3062 from Stuart Turner Limited that I'm seeking if anyone has it. |

Hi.We have a P66D engine number 22B780 .The engine is in a Townson 28 keeler yacht.The Townson 28 was built about mid or early 1970's in Auckland,New Zealand.The Stuart Turner engine is the original engine that was put in it.We bought the boat in Sept this year 2004 and trucked her down the north Island to Wellington.We are trying to "get to know" her engine so we can diagnose and repair and maintain the engine.Frankly we would prefer a small diesel of 15hp but hey....make us an offer :-)
Tim has kindly helped with cooling system things to check.So in our list of things to fix ......we really want to get out sailing !
We have a problem with forward propulsion.The engine actually ticks over quite nicely.....we have renewed various bits.In neutral she is fine....cooling water comes out the stern..all is well.Reversing out of the marina berth ...fine...good control and variation of speed and cooling water.Yep all is fine....until...engaging forward (tried reving up before engaging forward and tried not reving up too)....power dies out....very little forward power...certainly not enough to steer a 3 ton 28ft keeler safely.Help.All and any suggestions very welcome......(yes we do have the original manual.....).If there is anyone in New Zealand who is able to come and look at our engine and fix it......we will offer you accomodation and negotiate a suitable payment....apart from the very happy and grateful owners of the boat (us) being in awe of your knowledge and skills......and if you are a sailor....as we are....harbour cruising....how am I doing.....anyone want a holiday in NZ...free accomodation while in Wellington if you fix our engine and get it running as it should and teach us the basics......email [email protected] |

Hi Jennifer..........I will postpone my trip to the moon and start packing.
I will put on my thinking cap re your problem.As a thought check your throttle linkage,sounds like it is not getting any induction when you put it into forward.
If i come up with anything i will post it.....or bring it with me ...can i bring my mother in law? |

Peter....The moon.....?Have you no ambition?.....ok...if you have already booked ...we'll catch you on the way back.By all means bring your mother-in -law...........I believe she is a qualified old marine engines mechanic.
By the way thanks for the tip...will consider throttle linkage...it goes ok in reverse.....but its not a good look.......reversing around the marina....and out in to the harbour....however with the added attraction of your mother-in-law....just maybe we could get away with it.
:-)
Can you give me your flight number and date/time?
;-)Making your bed up now.

If you look at gear box colum thereis a cam arrangement that moves as you move into forward and reverse. This cam is attached to a rod that connects to the carburettor butterfly . So that when you move the tram lever into forward the butterfly is opened to the position that has been determined by the position of the throttle lever . Bring the tram lever back into neutral and the cam brings the rod back with spring tension so closing the buterfly to ''tickover ''speed. Bring the tram lever to astern position and the same procedure occurs .In your case it sounds
like the adjustment and spring are out of kilter
Do i make myself clear?
Sorry about the trip ....I would like to cement Australian and NZ relations. |

Peter
Today I adjusted the "slow running adjustment screw" about an eight of a turn forward (clockwise).This seemed to improve the ability of the ahead/foward gear to rev up a bit.It looks promising.I took lots of photos of our Stuart Turner P66D today with a borrowed (albeit basic and cheap)digital camera.Thinking I could post you photos of our engine.However....batteries have died (on camera) and shots have been lost.Tomorrow I will take more.Do you know of working STP66D engines that are in keeler yachts similar to ours?Or are we somewhat unique trying to push a 28ft 3 ton keeler yacht with a ST 10hp?Ok.So I will be in touch..and thanks for your wonderful help......yes it is doing wonders for trans Tasman relationships...(must confess at this point that I am an Australian...came to NZ lots of years ago and settled here).Im from SA but fathers family are in WA.
Its heading up to new year here...a still if overcast night here in Wellington NZ.Wishing you and all Stuart Turner enthusiasts the very very best for 2005.Cheers to all from Wellington NZ. |
