Yanmar 1GM10 issues

Hi,
I have a Yanmar 1GM10 1 cylinder diesel engine.
I had a loss of power the other day and small amounts of black soot come out of the exhaust. The raves didn't seem to go up when applying power.
Any ideas where to start?
Rene

Re: Yanmar 1GM10 issues

I’d start by making sure prop is clean, then is the fuel filter, and finally the exhaust elbow.

I agree except I would do in the reverse order; regardless, these are most likely culprits.

I went that order for ease of work, simplest to hardest.
Usually I go from cheapest to most expensive, but thankfully, no real money here.

Can't argue with that logic

Shouldn't need too many parts.

The exhaust elbow (mixing point) should be able to be clean if clogged. It will be obvious once you get it off the engine. You may need to replace the gasket.
I think the Yanmar part number for the gasket is 128170-13201 but do check first.

You will have an engine mounted fuel filter and it's part number should be 104500-55710; again check before buying. There could well be another fuel filter mounted externally to the engine, often a Racor or CAV etc; it won't be hard to find.

Assuming your 1GM10 is raw water cooled (most are?), this is a good time to replace the zinc anode in the engine - P/N is 27210-200300. Pretty sure the 1GM10 only has single anode.

Good luck with it

EDIT: throw in a new water pump">raw water pump impeller if you haven't already done so

Re: Yanmar 1GM10 issues

Thanks all for your suggestions.
I had the boat out of the water and the prop had a good feed of mussels on it: biggrin:
Also cleaned the exhaust elbow which looked to be OK (I think it was not the original).
Back in the water now and going very nicely.
Only issue is the cold starting which requires some 10 to 15 seconds.
I think it may be the bleeding screws as there is a bit of fuel on the second screw.
Talked to local supplier but we could not find a replacement part.
I would like to replace all 3 if we can get the part numbers.
Thanks again...
