COOLING
BD1005, BV1305 and BV1505
engines are normally fresh water
cooled. This water circulates through
the engine and on to a heat
exchanger where it is cooled by sea
water which is pumped through the
cooling tubes. The sea water is then
injected into the exhaust system (see
diagram).

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Beta diesels are very reliable if installed and serviced correctly, but problems can occur and the following list gives the
most common ones and their solution.

PROBLEM ENGINE DOES NOT START BUT STARTER MOTOR TURNS OVER OK

Possible Cause Solution

No fuel: Turn fuel cock on and fill tank.

Air in fuel system: Vent air (see initial start-up)

Water in fuel: Change fuel filter and bleed system.

Blocked fuel pipe: Clean out and bleed system.

Fuel filter clogged: Change filter and bleed system.

Fuel lift pump blocked: Remove and replace.

Blocked injector: Remove and clean.

Fuel return not fed back to the tank: Re-route fuel return pipe.

Heater plugs not working: Check wiring to the plugs, and replace plugs if they are burnt out.

Stop solenoid stuck in off position. Check solenoid is free to return to run position.

PROBLEM: STARTER MOTOR WILL NOT TURN OR TURNS OVER VERY SLOWLY

Possible Cause Solution

Battery discharged: Charge battery or replace. Check alternator belt tension.

Starter motor flooded with sea water: Remove and clean or replace.

Wiring disconnected or loose: Check circuit for loose connections.

Water in cylinders: Incorrect installation. This is serious - check engine oil for signs of water
(creamy-coloured oil). Ring your dealer.

Engine harness fuse blown: Replace fuse (located by starter motor or above flywheel housing) and check
for wiring faults

FUSE (If located by starter motor, usually it is positioned above flywheel


housing at rear of engine)
Note: For convenience, some engines are supplied with a spare fuse and
holder attached onto the main engine fuse holder.

PROBLEM: WATER IN LUBRICATING OIL - (Heat exchanger cooled)


Possible Cause Solution
Oil goes “milky” due to sea water Check installation - has anti-siphon valve been fitted? Change engine oil and

pump and compression checked by Service Agent.

PROBLEM: WATER IN LUBRICATING OIL - (General)

Possible Cause Solution


Core plug pushed out due to frozen Service Agent to check and replace.

Water pump seal damaged: Service Agent to check and replace.

PROBLEM: WATER IN LUBRICATING OIL - (Keel cooled)


Possible Cause Solution

PROBLEM: LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ENGINE SPEED REDUCED TO TICK OVER:

Possible Cause Solution

Faulty switch sender: Replace.

Engine running too hot: Check cooling water flow (see section 2 Cooling).

Oil relief valve stuck partially open Remove and clean.


with dirt:

Blocked oil filter: Change.

Wiring fault: Check circuit.

Insufficient oil: Top up and check for leaks.

PROBLEM: PANEL REV COUNTER NOT WORKING (WHEN FITTED

Possible Cause Solution

No W connection to alternator. Check power output from ‘W’ connection. Should be about 9V AC.

Wiring fault: Check circuit.

PROBLEM: ENGINE OVERHEATS

Possible Cause Solution

Check coolant level: Top up.

Insufficient sea water flow: Clear blocked intake or filter.

Damaged or worn pump impeller: Replace.

Blocked tube stack in heat Remove tube stack and clean - replace ‘O’ rings.
exchanger:

Zinc anode flakes blocking tube stack: Remove and clean tube stack as above.

Pressure cap loose: Replace.

Switch sender faulty: Replace.

Inlet sea cock is too small: Replace (see heat exchanger cooled seawater inlet system in section 3).

High exhaust back pressure: Must not exceed 3.1” of Hg.

Flexible mount rubber perished: Replace. (Diesel or oil will eventually perish most rubbers.)

Loose securing nut on flexible mount: Check alignment and then tighten the nuts.

CALORIFIER SYSTEM
All Beta engines can be fitted with
the engine tappings to allow the hot
water from the closed fresh

through a calorifier tank which in
turn heats up domestic water.

Emission durability.
IN RESPECT TO THE RECREATIONAL CRAFT DIRECTIVE 94/25/EC AND AMENDMENT
2003/44/EC ANNEX 1, B3.

The engine must be installed, maintained and operated within the parameters detailed in the
Operator’s Maintenance Manual. Maintenance must use approved materials, parts and
consumables. Should the engine lie unused for a period in excess of 6 months it must be
inhibited otherwise it will deteriorate with resulting decrease in performance. See also the
Winterising and Laying Up procedures in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual.

The fuel settings of the diesel injection system must not be tampered with otherwise the
guarantee will be invalid and the performance may fall outside prescribed limit. Such
adjustment cannot be allowed under the terms of the emission certification.

Performance of the engine depends upon the use of correct fuels, lubricants and inhibitors.
These are fully detailed in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual.

Particular attention must be paid to the installation with respect to the exhaust system. The
system must be designed so that water cannot back feed into the engine. The run must be
such that the back pressure at the engine manifold does not exceed the level detailed in the
Operator’s Maintenance Manual. Wet, water injected, exhaust systems must be at least the
bore mentioned in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual and should the run be excessive this
bore must be increased accordingly. Back pressure is measured at the outlet of the engine
manifold before the water injection bend or dry bellows.

Our experience over 14 years has shown that properly installed and maintained engines hold
their performance without major mishap even when running hours exceed those mentioned in
the Recreational Craft Directive. It is the owners / users responsibility to ensure that the engine
continues to function properly and any malfunction must be immediately investigated. The
Trouble Shooting section as detailed in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual is particularly
helpful in this respect. Engine performance, especially with respect to erratic running, exhaust
condition, low power output and high oil consumption are indications of engine conditions
that may result in emissions outside the prescribed limits and must therefore be investigated
and rectified immediately.
