I've watched a few videos and I'm surprised my TBI never leaked, when disassembled I didn't have the little itty bitty plastic/screen pieces in the side of my injectors, the nylon washers on my fuel line connector, nor did i have the metal o-rings. To clean my unit I used carb cleaner to get most of the gunk off, and then used boiling hot water and poured it in every orifice, when cleaning out the tube that the pcv hose hooked up to it made getting all that grease come out like butter with a Q-tip.
Don't ever teflon flanged compression fittings, all it does is fill the threads and make it hard to get the fittings tight enough for the metal to metal seal to engage and can actually make 'em leak
I don’t know where to get a pdf for one. I don’t even know if they have a pdf. Like I said in my other reply, try to contact the seller you purchased it from, and try to get another manual.
I don’t really know. I don’t think it ever locked up because we were able to do a compression test on it and it spun over just fine. I’m pretty sure something got in between the piston, and cylinder, and just scored it up. This engine is broken in now though, and it runs great.
That wouldn’t really surprise me. The engine does smoke quite a bit that’s why I think it has the skirt blown off but I don’t know. It still runs just fine though.
I would like to paint it eventually but I want to do it right. I don’t wanna rattle can it like I did with the grille and other things. I’ve already wet sanded it you can see the difference from one of the older videos.
I bought this same fuel pump. It looks like the pump piece sticks out further than the original one I had. Does yours look like that too? Also does your push rod stick out a little bit from the hole?
I can’t really remember I put the pump on a while ago. The pushrod will stick out a little bit if the cam has the lobe pushing on it. The Haynes manual says to roll the engine over till you can push the rod all the way in probably to make the install easier I didn’t but I’ve been running the pump for a long time and it’s fine. From what I remember the pushrod won’t go all the way into the head it should poke out a little even with the cam lobe facing away from the pushrod. Hope that helps if it doesn’t let me know.
It’s an older video so it’s not as good but it’s also not supposed to be super entertaining just informative and I realize now that I didn’t do a good job explaining how to replace the pump so if you need help let me know
Great review. I'm debating between this and the yeswelder CUT-55DS. Being new to cutters, not sure how to properly compare them. Ive been leaning towards this herocut but any feedback on comparison would be helpful. Thanks!
I can’t say much on this cutter yet because I haven’t used it very much but so far I’m liking it for 250 bucks it’s pretty good what I’ve cut so far is 3/16 steel but I know it’ll cut thicker metal one thing I didn’t like is that it kept tripping the breaker on 110v dunno if that would happen in a shop or not tho on 220 it works just fine.
