- Cat 3116's, Westerbeke 7.6 BTD
Guys, I am new to diesels and have an issue with black smoke when running at speed as well as with my genset. I did not notice this previously but I had a dock neighbor running behind me that said it was pretty bad. I recently had an algae issue in my fuel which I treated per Frank W's fuel system treatment post. Probably need another round of diesel 911 or whatever the fuel treatment stuff was and cleaning/changing out my racor's again. That said it is probably time to have my valves adjusted and I have no idea what that should run. Can anyone give me a ballpark cost on the following? and what the service interval should be? I have no idea when this was last done:
Valve adjustment for CAT 3116
Valve adjustment for Westerbeke 7.6BTD
Injector service/adjustment for 3116
Injector service/adjustment for 7.6BTD
Anything else to look at? Freshwater, clean bottom, straight shafts and props are good.
