[C38] engine problem

[PAUL NOTTE]

Did you change the fuel filter at the left rear{while facing the stern} on the engine ?

Hello Fellow C38 Owners 



I have a problem/frustration with my M35 diesel engine and wonder if anybody else has experienced a similar occurrence. 



In settled conditions (eg harbour/marina) the motor starts and runs smoothly 
however after an afternoon’s sailing in the local sailing comp the motor will start roughly and continues that way for about a minute or so and then settle into a smoother operation. 



I originally thought it was residual muck in the bottom of the fuel tank being stirred up while at sea however I have recently removed the tank to have alterations made and in the meantime had the lines (temporarily) connected to a Jerry-Can with clean diesel. 



The problem continues – ie runs roughly for 30-60secs then smooths out. 



Has anybody got any suggestions.
