Il y a des nuits où tout s’apaise. Où la mer devient miroir, et le silence une réponse. 🌙 Ce n’est pas une fuite. C’est un retour à l’essentiel. Oser ralentir. Oser rêver. Oser vivre autrement. 🌊 Sur OUALAOUTI, on apprend chaque jour qu’il est possible de changer de cap — de créer une vie plus simple, plus libre, plus vraie. ⚓ 🎧 Keep going. Trust the wind. The sea will guide you.
Armel Tripon conserve sa belle 4e place dans la Route du Rhum, lancé à la poursuite du Safran de Marc Guillemot. Peu avant le départ de la course, à Saint-Malo, le skipper de For Humble Heroes, qui n'a pas couru le dernier Vendée Globe, donnait son avis sur la question de l'éventuel match retour.
Checking the fuel injection timeing as stated in the manual. De-compress the engine and crank it manual. The timeing mark is behind the startengine. The sound in the video is not the right one, it should be shorter to be the injection sound. Mobile camera can be helpful, it register the sound and you can see the mark on the flywheel on the video. In later manuals an other method is adviced. Dis-connect the pressure pipe from the injector. Arrange the pipe so the end comes horisontal. Turn the engine slowly and look for when the diesel suface start to rise. Stop the turning and look for the timing mark on the flywheel. Something is wrong with my injection pump, so I got non of the methods to work out perfect. With the new injection pump the engine have great difficulty to start. With the old the engine starts instantly, but it leaks diesel to the engine oil. But I have clear indications that the injection timing is right.
