Marine Diesel Westerbeke Generator Engine Starting Problem - Sailing Britican
This video is about...If you’ve never worked on engines before it’s quite a steep learning curve when it comes to troubleshooting. For over two years, and after a major refit, our trusted Westerbeke Generator has never failed us. That is, until recently! Unfortunately, we experienced a marine diesel engine starting problem.
After pre-heating the starter and then turning the engine on, all we could hear was tick-tick-tick-tick-tick (check out the video). It sounded as if the starter motor was trying to start the engine, but it just wouldn't kick over. Watch the video to see what we did about it :)

#1240797 I inspire couples and families through adventure and freedom to become sailing cruisers. In 2013, my wife and 3 1/2-year-old daughter purchased the largest boat we could and sailed over 45,000 miles through the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, all over the Caribbean, and along America's east coast. My wife and daughter are taking a break from sailing so our daughter can go to school. In the meantime, I'm teaching couples and families how to live the sailing life!
