Rough Idle on Caterpillar 3208 Suggestions?
We have 2 Caterpillar 3208 diesel engines aboard our Trawler. Started out on the port now the starboard is doing it also. Rough idle when starting, until we get them up to 1000 rpms. Will not run normal until we get it to 1000rpms. Raycors have been removed and cleaned, new filters installed. Any other ideas that a learn as I go Captain can check before we throw up our hands and get a diesel mechanic involved? Appreciate any suggestions, Thanks!!!
