No clue lol... old engine probably had quite a life. Also these days it would be heavier crank, maybe better pistons.... back then it would have been mostly the same on both except the turbo version likely has jets to flood the bottom of the pistons, a bigger oil pump and larger exhaust system...

Project went pretty well, I added alot of guages as I will never know 100% if it has extra piston oil jets or not so gotta be careful. It did run before with a glowing exhaust and survived so it does good at keeping pistons cool somehow. I would prefer not to have anything glow again.... it was...

I'm not going very big just the same as the other perkins

Side note the exhust is 2 inch but rather than a large muffler and large stack they kept it small at 2 inch (outlet tips ID is 1.75 by the flapper) so I'm going to change as much as I can to 3 inch which apparently even if it still starts small and goes big later on it can drastically improve...

It's more for efficiency and a bit of looking cool on thoes annoying frost nights than max power increase. The load on it stays the same also I always watch exhaust temps on high load ever since I made the exhaust glow one night. I won't be putting it on the dyno haha. My one friend was like...

Yes after the turbo

Tube is connected yes, I will probably delete it as that same issue could happen

This starts fine anyways..... I could hook a wire to this if I wanted an easier start or not. Cool idea, looks like the wire and the spot to connect are gone. Smokey start sometimes..... I'm putting a turbo on it now though so that'll do something lol

That's definitely the thing. Just missing the electric part

Wouldn't there have to be a way to ignite the fuel? Maybe it's some super clever old timey thing

Can anyone confirm the differences? If any to the internals between the 2 versions. I wouldn't expect them being much different especially in that age when it was built

Nope although I thought the thing on the inside had a spring but it could be a heating element. With nothing to turn this on and off I wonder what it does most times. It must have some sort of a check valve or the fuel pump would pull air. I see no wire, dosen't mean it didn't corrode off or...

Considering theres nothing to ignite the flame or stop the heater I'd say now it's either a drip into the intake or do nothing at all thing now

Sounds like a delete.... actually it'll be on the pressure side of the turbo now the valve will be pushed closed so I could just leave it there lol.

My head hurts now 😄 🤣. I believe the T6 354.4 and the 6 354.4 are also identical except a turbo and different fuel pump tuning. Mine may have been made from multiple engines who knows... the block is definitely the T6 354.4 and likely the pistons and all that. Coulda used a different head idk...

So they will have an engine with a turbo that shouldn't and mine should and dosen't. It's great at confusing people lol, in the case of the 6344 it makes a pretty large difference in HP. Also fuel efficiency..... and since mines still tuned for a turbo the exhaust stack glowing at high load...

Oh so you can use the hand primer to make pressure to activate it

Does it ever stop fogging? This is direct connected plus is not fed any pressure so...... seems like it should have a valve so it stops

Perkins engine, I like old engines so had many posts about it. Was doing some repairs and noticed this.... honestly looks like an ether line somone got confused and hooked to fuel

I think this is an ether port that got hooked to fuel
