2179.0. "Bukh Diesel" by SSGV02::DONOHUE () Fri Dec 02 1994 15:41

    Does anybody have any experience with a 20HP BUKH Diesel?
    
    I've been told that parts are hard to come by.  Do you know of any
    sources?
    
    Thanks,
     John

    Hi John,
    
    I have just read yuor entry re: Bukh diesel engines.
    
    I have a RIVAL 34 with a BUKH DV20 installed. I believe that this is
    the model you have.
    
    I don't know your location whilst writing this reply, but in the U.K.
    and Ireland and I suppose throughout Europe, parts are readily
    available for BUKH engines.
    
    From personal experience, these are very high quality slow reving
    diesels. I have in fact just finished overhauling mine and am due
    to install it in a few weeks time. Parts are reasonably expensive and
    soon add up.
    
    I can give you details of an excellent BUKH agent in Scotland. I use
    them and can recommend them. If you are interested then please contact:

    John, I will be off on vacation until Monday 16 January 1995. Please
    sent me an E-Mail between times if you like.

    Westerbeke has sold Bukh diesels under its own label in the past.
    They're in Avon, Mass.  Probably worth a call if you have question.
