« on: September 29 2013, 19:42 »
Hi everyone Ive got a Bavaria 36 with volvo 2030 engine   started the engine today first time in about three weeks and engine sounds very ratly from the top end like a noisy tappet sound.   when reved hard for a few times it goes away  engine turned off and restarted it reoccurs everything else seems normal  any ideas or anybody else had this  i know the engine well and normally runs like a sewing machine.

Hi, I got a similar problem with my B37 and a friend on a B36. If similar, the engine is ok. First, check on the sail drive the "anode". If loose, there is a chock noise at low speed.
Cheers
