Thanks a million guys! I'm learning more about this thing every day! How would I check the compression? Also, how involved is it to run an overhead? A friends dad has a compression tester for this thing. I've got a lot of tools and knowledge about smaller motors, I used to be an automotive mechanic. While I'm there I'll just have him replace that diaphram like stranger said. The old man that works there would like me to bring the pump in so he can check the flow and pressure of the pump.
There is an injector pump shop about an hour from where I live. I replaced all the fuel lines last night to check that possibility off of the list. Are you saying I need to wrap it up a little higher before I shift? Medicineman, I've been shifting at 2,000 rpm, in the next gear that usually drops the rpm's to 1,500. it will take me three miles flat footed shifting at 2,000 rpm to get to 70 mph. I know this thing is less than half that motor.Įven empty at 26,000 lbs.
I'm comparing it to my buddies 600 CAT on propane.not really I'm just kidding. The arenoid diaphram is connected to the pump, on the block side of the pump, and is connected with a small line from the intake manifold. I think that means Big Cam III, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new to all of this.
