After replacing the heat exchanger on my Westerbeke 33 I am not getting sufficient flow to the hot water heater to heat the water. This problem appears to be unrelated to the new heat exchanger as the engine temp. is normal (just under 180 degrees) and the engine fresh water system is full. I mention it here just in case I am missing something.
I am thinking the problem may be with the Westerbeke 33 flow controller p/n 31198 and/or the flow controller spring p/n 30165. These are shown on page 295 as ref. # 9-2 and ref. # 1 in my parts book.
I was hoping someone could explain how the flow controller works before I get in over my head. Could the spring be stuck or broken?
I would also appreciate any other ideas as to why I am not getting sufficient flow to the hot water heater after replacing the heat exchanger.
