Help, how do I get power for my boat?

[[RR]MarcusBanterelius]

Ive put fuel tanks and installed and egine and I have ammo, they are all full but Power is at 0. WHY IS THIS?

[Masterofgaming22]

Are all the parts of the engine connected? And are you sure its fuel and not oil?

[SDHF9W4J09]

Same issue, I have a engine set up with a max of 1000ish power and I do have fuel tanks on my boat yet i have 0 power.

[xchrisx88]

is your engine eventually overheating?

[SDHF9W4J09]

Mine wont even start.

engines that are built without cooling can build up millions of percent of heat in seconds. and it will have to bleed off the heat or be replaced.

check to see if your engines are overheated. if so, you can delete them, place the engine block and set power output to 0, build your engine with cooling and then set power output to your sustainable level.

Here is my workshop of the problem boat

This is not how ya build engine bud =)

I suggest hitting up youtube or workshop...because your not quite there on these new engines.

Lets see...
6 of the 9 pistons not connected properly, no superchargers, no turbos and only a single exhaust an a single piston, WAY to much injector for this size engine...and also not connected properly.

Go find Sano's engine post to workshop...he has some very nice examples that are fairly easy to pick apart.

Funny me and Sano made exact same single piston hot burning engine lol....good stuff ya.

if you look on the main forums, there are no less then 5 claims of plaigerism for small engines that i think most people will come up with for effecient or high power engines.

that should be my engines demo. I hope I haven't updated it to something useless.

I understand it is very poorly done (My first ship/engine) but is that the reason why it is not outputing any power?

Its overheating a shutting down almost instantly....due to the majority of the power being made coming from injectors.

Ok thanks

[Grapes]

Don't worry. In a few weeks, you will know enough about engines to get employed at an auto shop and immediately become manager because of your skill with engines...

Just a tip....you will NEVER get that much power out of such a small engine with the new engines without having serious issues.

For a 12k output engine your looking at a V8 for anywhere close to decent fuel consumtion and heat management.

[SDHF9W4J09]

Yeah I fixed the issue of heating, by making the engine smaller (It only needed like 50 power for the propellers), removing the injectors and placing some radiators and exhaust.
Thanks for anyone who helped

[Syd Khaos]

I try not to use the radiators...seems like a waste when proper exhaust porting will do the job just fine.
Thats more of a personal preferance thing though really...and they can help manage heat on compact designs or when trying to retrofit.
