Revision as of 19:41, 18 October 2007

The Service Bulletins listed below are those that may be important to Nevermore maintenance and operation.

The first set are in the engine Tech Manual; we may just list the "important" ones, but now (Oct07) are erring on the side of listing too many. They seem to have been selected for inclusion in the tech manual because they refer to the W50 engine, while we know that all bulletins are identified in ONE sequence of numbers for all engine models.

The second set (only one bulletin, #130) was found in Nevermore's papers, and appears to be important.

The third set is a selection from a list of all bulletins starting with Bulletins #20 and #49, then appearing somewhat more complete starting with #101. No rationale for skipping some, including the "important" (#130) one found in Nevermore's papers, can be deduced.

---  ----------------------------------------------------	-------- ------

020  Svc.Bull. #20: Oil Pressure Sensing 			__/__/__ p:V.2
	don't remember what this is actually about
	TODO: look it up


069  Svc.Bull. #69: Exhaust System _____  failures?		__/__/__ p:V.3
	TODO: what's this about


072  Svc.Bull. #72: Gauges -vs- Senders non-Interchangeability	__/__/__ p:V.4
	4 different manufacturer sources for instruments gauges
	require matching senders; outlines of the different 
	gauges are given 

076  Svc.Bull #76: Bleeding Hydraulically Governed Fuel		 
                   Inj Pump (if fitted)				08/27/75 p:V.5
	special procedure for anti-stall device to hold the 
	locknut in position when opening bleed screw for this unit, 
	because the locknut setting determines the adjustment 
	of the anti-stall feature; losing that adjustment 
	may not let engine start, even after bleeding.

081  Svc Bull #81: Muffler (don't remember subject)		__/__/__ p:V.7
  	TODO: look up why we remember this?

082  Svc Bull #82: Battery Recommendations			__/__/__ p.V.9

084  Svc.Bull #84: Heat Exchanger Rubber End Cap Positioning	09/04/75 p:V.__
	reassembling heat exchanger requires a particular
	alignment of end cap on the exchanger body

087  Svc.Bull #87: Alternator Output Splitter			09/18/75 p:V.__
	optional splitter discussed; might require rewiring
	where charging voltage is taken from the alternator
	(from regulator output rather than "generator" screw)
	Note: We don't think Nevermore has this optional device (Sep07)
	but it IS included in engine 12-v electrical diagrams.
	2-way splitter P/N 20654, alternator max 120-amp,
	will give charging voltage approx 0.8-V less than usual.

092  Svc.Bull #92: Troubleshooting W.T. and O.P. Gauges		__/__/__ p:V.__
	gives some step-by-step tests, and a couple 
	admonitions about what NOT to do

094  Svc.Bull #94: Fues Pressure Switch Installation		09/09/76 p.V.15
	Thom remembers this as discussing how to ADD switches
	and locate them if more switching is required;
	also remembers this is where we got insight into
	the one switch we do have, and the implementation of
	the "keyless" ignition Nevermore has

130 Svc.Bull #130: On Engine Fuel System - Bleed Procedure	12/08/83 
	Westerbeke W50						P/N 33547
	gives steps for bleeding the fuel system, "after air has
	been bled from that portion of the fuel system between the
	fuel tank and engine...", picking up with purging air
	from the secondary filter.
	Then it gives steps for starting the engine.
