I have a twin screw fly bridge 34′ powered by Cummins 6 BTA, I was recently underway at about 2,600 rpm when the starboard engine lost power, and after about 1 minute quit all together. It had oil pressure and normal temp when it quit. I knock a little before quitting. There was no color of smoke noted. It will not crank back and sounds like it is out of time the way is sounds when it rolls over.
One guy had me replace the lift/injector primer because it was leaking fuel. I have done that and bled injectors still sounds the same. I replaced starter still sounds the same and won’t crank. I pulled all the valve covers off and all rocker arms are going up and down. I have pulled hose off of air intake just before aftercooler and when I spin it over seems like exhaust is coming out of air intake. I have also used ether and on first couple of spins tries to crank then won’t. Fuel filters have been changed and racors rebuilt. Batteries tested and are great. Port engine when disconnecting fuel solenoid it spins very fast on same batteries.
On the front of the engine pulled cover off to check if bearing in alternator or something was froze up, but every thing spins freely.
Anybody have any suggestions.
