  1. Yup agree ! I haven't had a flash in years the sand in the eyes not a comfortable situation ! However haven't been welding as much the last ten years!
  2. The Bosch pump did have an issue that would cause an miss when the delivery valve washer on number 1 would crack ! but is sounds like something not sealing Or a stuck injector! but usually you get black exhaust smoke with that! not a pop back thru the intake! If you have a fuel shop near by have the injector tested! Either way keep us up to date! very interesting issue!
  3. ODD! Sounds like you have a good handle on this ! So did you inspect the push tubes ! Do we have a loose ball end? There may be a REMOTE possibility the lifter is sticking in the bore ! I Seen rockers stick before !Dri rocker syndrome!
  4. Do you have an auto dark helmet ! I find that helps alot! you can adjust the darkness on mine !
  5. Bro ! Check the valve set first If the valve set is correct and you got your 16/24 or close then maybe there is a burned valve! or a chunk out of the valve seat on that cyl! again I hardly believe its not an rebuilders error more of an parts malfunction! These rarely failed a lifter but anything is possible ! I have heard rumor's here on the site of sticky valve guides I have never run into in our area how ever Shit happens! It the valve set is off then the head will likely be coming off! Please keep us posted It helps everyone gain knowledge!
  6. I Emailed Barry last weekend about that ! He mailed me back saying one of the site certificates had expired ! If your ever in doubt go to the Watts email and shoot him a message! Good People at the helm here! Barry put alot of work and thought into this site well done!
  7. Yup by one kit you'll see what is going on and you can do the rest of the fleet quite cheaply by your own ingenuity! its not rocket science! won't cast hardly anything! an hour or two of your time!
  8. We will see tomorrow Joe I’m sure he will post his findings! If it is the lifter / cam failure it is definitely nothing to do with his rebuild skills! And more on what you mentioned overspeed !There is a remote possibility it’s a valve issue!
  9. The new style lifters seldom failed but if it came as a whole piece it definitely would not come out the pan plug !
  10. yup sleep is good! Just one more thing check the valve set on that cylinder it will be loose on the exhaust if the lifter has failed!
  11. Check for a bent push rod also!
  12. Yup popping on the intake is a classic failure usually on the exhaust!
  13. Did you inframe it!
  14. Yup All good first small project ! Cranked up to 7 on the auto set still a bit to hot however welds like a champ! that there is an adjustable top link for my Davey brown tractor made from a ratchet chain synch! I got a feeling this will weld half inch plate with no issues That was 3/8 and still too hot! should have made that vise grip ground years ago works deadly can't come of with out intervention!
  15. Because it has to go down the right Wire! Magic fan and air fan are two different animals! one runs on mil volts one runs on 12 volts! Air fan has 12v solenoid!
  16. If it still turns over it likley got air in the fuel! double check the oil level if its over fuel do not attempt to start! If oil level is good pump the primmer pump and try starting! 1
  17. Yup I miss most of them guys ! I missed what happened likley some political BS. We have a new group now starting to build again Keep it civil choose to disagree and debate with calm demeaner or say nothing! All will be good! In my mind If I had a something to say to people I would PM them to clarify Rather than post it for everyone to see rather stir up shit! Unfortunately, some have their opinion and nobody else's opinion counts! otherwise it becomes like Elons Twitter page A shit show for all to see! Like I have said before Let's Talk about important shit! TRUCKS ! Even Volvo Qualifies Sort of ! 🤣
  18. yup think that's kind of rare for the n14 the small cam engines would do that on a regular basis! they when to bigcam then big cam2 and the issue faded ! Didn't work on these much!
  19. Ya! Nope 😇
  20. Fixed the only thing I didn’t like about the machine today the dollar store ground clamp!
  21. All this stuff has electronics just the way it is these days ! The tweco this replaces had digital volt gauge that was all over hells half acres would Not come back to the same set voltage EVER! There inlies why I replaced it! if you put some down force on the voltage knob it would sort of hold its set! tried putting a push down strap on the knob was only slightly better! Done now hopefully! no more fighting!
