Winded Voyage | Episode 10 | French Love For Perkins
The Man Who Loves Perkins is back. This time David guides us through a full tune-up of my Perkins 4108. He’s incredibly thorough and demonstrates he is truly passionate about engines. It’s also a demonstration of how to service a Perkins 4180 diesel engine. This episode of my Winded Voyage offers some educational benefit to viewers and certainly for me as well. It was my way of taking notes for future reference. But first you’ll get a glimpse of life-on-board on a rainy French weekend in Port Leucate.
