Adam and Luke troubleshoot a failing diesel engine on their catamaran while anchored in the Society Islands.0:26 The engine, which has logged 4,300 hours, struggles to start and emits white smoke, indicating potential carbon buildup or injector failure.9:57 The crew removes and cleans the three fuel injectors using carb cleaner and wooden toothpicks, replacing damaged O-rings with inexpensive hardware-store alternatives.6:18 When the engine continues to misfire, they identify a secondary issue: a weeping diesel fuel filter housing.14:39 After cleaning the filter threads and bleeding the fuel system to remove airlocks, the engine runs smoothly on all cylinders.16:19 Following the repair, the crew conducts sea trials in 13 knots of wind to test the catamaran’s upwind performance.17:24 The vessel maintains 5 to 6 knots while sailing at a 60-degree apparent wind angle using a full mainsail, staysail, and genoa.18:04 The successful test confirms the boat's capability for an upcoming 1,300-mile passage to Samoa.20:40
