• Hey is that waterport gasket on wrong?
   Hard to tell but it looks a little like this:
  
   Maybe you used one for the front waterneck
• #31 by dillenger1 on 07 Apr, 2008 03:07
• Yep it HAS D-SHAPED PORTS theres just a little gasket in the airstream,and the sealing surface is a little thin around the top,but there is a seal.My water port casting is a little funny on one side so my gasket shows on the outside,The front is an o-ringed seal.I figure the d-port wouldnt be a problem since the air is pressurrized anyway

• well ive been dormant for awhile,but things are moving again.I had to wait to find a body for the motoir.I chose a 87 yota 4runner.She weighs in at 3000 lbs so its pretty much a vanagon.I wanted to do something a little more interesting.Plus were getting our bio system setup,so weve been busy.
  
  
  heres what the toy flywheel will look like,and an adapter for the block.
  
  
  this is not my design.It belongs to flash319 for yotatech.heres a pic of our pad for bio setup.we really went all out on this one should be fun.

• Ive finally got it running,with a little help from you guys that is. Ive got some troubles though.I had to turn the fuel screw in about 4 turns to even get fuel to the lines,Ive tried to back it off,but it seems theres a fine line to where it will run and where it wont get fuel at all.I didnt compare the spill ports when i had it out.I have it timed to 1.05mm,and theres a 10mm plunger from a peug.It will idle nice ,but it wont rev(poor response).It will run away when you hold the throttle at max for over 5 seconds,and wont come back down.I havent touched the gov. assembly(only used the peug inter. spring)Lda is still on peug. settings(I swapped it to a na pump)heres some pics anyway
  
  
  
  
  
  
  we extracted more water through a drying process that blows air through hot oil,and seperates the water from it.

• I wish my thread wasnt so jacked up! :evil: Anyway im sorry for all those that have dial up.Dont let this hinder you from giving me advice. Anyways,does this sound like timing issue?
• #35 by gigaz2 on 01 Sep, 2008 15:53
• my opinion is that your governor should resign
  try with different settings of the throttle assembly, mine is on minimum, it idles without touching the idle screw. (I got tired of huge black clouds on the other settings)
  
  it doesn't sound like timing issues, but you can forget about timing with the dial indicator, I guess it only works with stock parts, you have a sharper injection start now.

• Does the peug pump head have a recessed hole where the 2 large springs rest?
  
  Does the head you removed?
  
  I'm not talking about the 2 little pencil side springs the 2 large ones that sit on a shaft on either side of the plunger.
• #38 by dillenger1 on 02 Sep, 2008 15:39
• I dont think so.The springs where the same same shims and everything.Wouldnt the recess give them less preload if the springs are the same?the head i removed does not,its a vw 9mm head.It idles fine,sounds great.well you hit the accelerator it will only go to say maybe 1200rpm(no tach)When you hold down the accelerator for a while it will start to climb and run away.Are you guys thinking it almost has to be springs?is there anything else that will give this? ive not messed with the lda at all.Remember pump body is from an na.
• #39 by dillenger1 on 02 Sep, 2008 16:32
• Ok ,i read some other posts and came up with the gov. assembly not being properly aligned with the collar plate.I forgot to scribe lines on the nut and lever for reassembly :oops: I know!Does anyone think this is culprit?If i use a picture of another pumps lever shaft/nut relation will this get me close?If the parts are identical then the adjustment should be right?
• #40 by zukgod1 on 03 Sep, 2008 07:43
• If the main springs on the pump head are wrong it wont do much of anything correctly other than idle.
  
  On the other hand if you have the throttle shaft keyed incorrectly that will cause the problem you are experiencing.

• I removed the accelerator lever,and it acted normally.first it fire,and i still had the full load way in!It fired and went for the moon. I backed that off to stock position,and removed the lever.I then gave it various settings of preload to determine my idle point.yah!So its behaving quite normally now.I still would like to know if the 10mm plunger is advancing the injection.I kknow it will be sharper,
• #42 by dillenger1 on 05 Sep, 2008 15:57
• Ok ive still got some trouble.Ive got white smoke at idle with 1.05mm with 160bar "gtd"injectors.I think the injectors are slowing me down.I think i still need more advance! :shock:
  
  
  
  
  
  Ohh yahhh!check this out!! what could it be?hmmmmmm...
