Common Problems with 2-Stroke Marine Engines

In this blog, we discuss common issues faced by marine engines, specifically 2-stroke models. These problems include air leakage, fuel leakage, sparks in the main engine exhaust, stuck fuel racks, faulty alarms, and fuel valve malfunctions. Marine engines must function effectively when transitioning from one port to another. Below, we detail each problem and provide practical solutions to help your marine engine run smoothly. 1.Air Leakage Air leakage is a frequent issue in 2-stroke marine engines, often arising when air controllers supply air to various engine components. While some air leakage is considered normal when the engine is open, significant leaks can indicate problems. Common indications include hissing noises or decreased engine performance. To address air leakage, inspect the pipes for cracks or looseness and either tighten or replace them as needed. 2.Fuel Leakage Fuel leakage can happen in marine engines when fuel temperature and treatment are not properly maint...
