    turn up fuel

    I looked and that style of heater though looking good to start with invariably doesn't seem to fit, the one core plug exiting on the side of the head is right in line with fuel inlet to IP and so that heater won't work either...DOH:( I'm not sure either how you can loose oil out the cooling...

    Thanks for that link, I'll check and see what dia the plug is IIRC 28 MM or 26MM so I'd have to see about a smaller one. Regardless it's a great idea to work from right?

    turn up fuel

    I have been doing this, and just got a parts manual in, this should assist me further in turning it up and also hopefully being able to get a few more RPM out of it too. Well thought about this too, may be kind of difficult though but something to consider. It isnt being impatient, it's all...

    turn up fuel

    so thought time for update, managed to secure a deal on a RHB31 turbo to crank some boost into this little engine. I also have a guy who will rebuild the injectors and help me deal with rebuilding the IP as well. this turns out rather well for me as the old gas Tecumseh HH120 12HP engine is...

    Adding A tach?? Can it be done?

    Thanks, I think that's just what I needed. It is similar in function the the Kent Moore J33300 timing meter I use to time diesel engines. Which I'll be testing on the Kubota to see how the timing is on it too! Wow thanks again that's just so great!;)

    turn up fuel

    I fully understand the cause and effect and potential for problems when turning up a Diesel. My shop contains some the timing gear to set the timing on this machine quite accurately if need be. Turning pump up and letting out a bit of smoke may just overheat the pistons yes, but I'll throw a...
