It was explained to me that all Cat engines under 100 horsepower are Perkins.

Well if thats the case I apologize. Just chalk it up to unneeded information. Like the time you asked a friend about fishing and he goes into an hour lecture about graphite vs bamboo when all you wanted to know if it was crawlers or shiners.

The hell you say? I am having a hard time keeping up!

Shit. I did not see that the smilie on the end was a frownie. Not uncommon for a little diesel to run fast like that. My only problem with small diesels that are turned up to higher HP levels is that they generally need to run faster to make the power. A bigger engine that turns slower...

What was the final diagnosis?

Squisher iz a jeanEass!

Good idea having them sorted by size. That way you could mix and match sets to get the right clearance.

Whats a knife dresser? A stone or a file?

A friends corn chopper was so worn out that the knives were welded to the drum because the bolt holes were wobbled out. They traded it off that way.

Oooooooh, class is in session! I'll bring the apple. I find that to really connect with a different culture, you must be able to swear at them in their own language.

Lucky the nozzle is only 300 bucks. I am intrigued........

For sure. The difference is 15 ppm compared to 500 ppm sulfer. However, some areas do not carry the 500 ppm fuel, instead they dye the ulsd red. A person has to make sure the off road fuel is 500 ppm. Some areas sell so little off road diesel they cant justify carrying two types. Even at 500...

Merle, when you turn the engine the oil pump turns as well. Not ideal, but there will be some lubrication. Is that what you were asking? A weak transfer pump will starve the HI pressure pump, and cut the lubrication. MOST of the fuel moved by a transfer pump is used for lube and cooling...

Unless there is a MASSIVE drag somewhere, like a bad bearing or seven, or maybe like something wrapped around a rotor, (?) the engine should run fine if it is getting enough fuel and Air in the right mix at the right time. If the filters did not help, I would wonder about a fuel supply...

I think it only runs with the key in the start position. No matter what throttle position. I am not sure though. Where you at with it today Nick?

That sucks. I looked up the filter number and numbers cross reference to others. The little filter is just a standard primary inline. Napa 3323 is one of the numbers. wix 33390 FleetGuard FF 42003 Baldwin BF 7683 Donaldson P55-0127 Not sure how accurate this is, but hope you can get a...

Air in the fuel line is generally a temporary problem. I think that your engine is not sucking air or air locked. It would not run at all if the lines are full of air. As I mentioned in post 39, the ignition system seems to be interrupting the voltage to the fuel shut off. I think you and...

What were some of the things you found Nick? 10% aint bad Red fuel is 50 cents cheaper here. We get a lot of the fuel tax back on clear fuel, just prefer not to give the govt. a no interest loan.

Could be. I suppose that there is not a lot of farming in LA! It does not really matter here either. Because almost all of my income comes from agriculture I get all of my road tax back from the state, even if the clear diesel I burn is in my semi on the highway. Farmers get away with...

We have the ultra low sulfur clear and red diesel in Montana. I guess it has been that way for a couple of years. The ULSD gels up worse than the old stuff and does not react to anti gel treatments as well. We use Clear diesel for on road use only and Red diesel for everything else. If...
