a.   Dirty or clogged flame arrester.
M.  Air Conditioning
b.   Malfunctioning automatic choke plate or faulty
adjustment of manual choke plate.
It may be possible for carbon monoxide to be brought into
the air conditioned  space by the  air conditioner.  If  in-
stalled, please refer to the air conditioner manufacturer’s
literature for additional information.
c.    Worn float needle valve and seat.
d.   High float level.

General
1.
Failure to make adjustments to ignition systems, fuel
systems, and propeller size may cause an increase
in CO production.
a.
Worn piston rings and valves.
b.   Engine temperature - Cold running engines in-
crease CO production.  Engine  cooling water
system design and selection  of thermostat(s)
are primary considerations affecting engine op-
erating temperature. Generally, an engine pro-
duces less CO if it operates at a relatively high
temperaturewithinmanufacturer’sspecifications.
2.
Heavy sea conditions tend to load engines resulting
in reduced performance and thereby increasing their
COproduction.
P.   Portable Generator Sets
Gasoline powered portable generator are available in the
marinemarketplaceandisnotanoptionavailablethrough
Four Winns.  The  portable generator will produce CO.
These sets discharge their exhaust products in locations
which can lead to an increase in the accumulation of car-
bon monoxide in the accommodation space. This equip-
ment is not recommended for use on Four Winns boats.
c.    Exhaust Back-Pressure - Certain alterations to
the exhaust system may  increase engine ex-
haust back pressure and CO production.
