People...yes this method introduces moisture into the system to find the leak, but before you recharge the system with refrigerant you are supposed to pull a vacuum on the system to get rid of the moisture anyways so??? Not everyone has nitrogen either like OP has tried to explain, good video for the DIY'er thanks!
Wow thanks for this comment. I was shocked at how many people blew up about adding moisture. A vacuum pump can be rented from almost any major auto parts store. Nitrogen and associated manifold, hoses, connections, ect. Can not. Defeats the purpose of the video. Thanks again for watching and the kind words!!
Agreed 100% if you happen to source an a/c manifold to shop air coupler/adapter I've seen someone else mention you should link it!

@@FixAndForgetturns out you can just remove the yellow hose entirely and thread on a standard female thread to quick connect air (like the one in your video at the end of your air compressor hose) directly onto where you'd normally screw the yellow hose and then you can connect shop air where you'd normally have the yellow hose connected. th-cam.com/video/dS0P6PSCdIA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kgnF_d0AKlmHQgoN

Where are you located and do you do service? I have a seized 2010 yanmar engine with only 700 hours on it. Do you think it’s just rust in pistons or injectors? Thanks

I've seen them hold 125 psi fine, and leak at 175. The only sure way to test is 400 psi nitrogen.. The high pressure safety cut off switch is 400 psi.
The vast majority can be fixed using this method. Nitrogen is the proper method however, no DIY mechanic is going to have a bottle of it in their garage. Thanks for watching.
Would love to see what is I side that crane house!
Thanks for watching
They flood super easy so shut it off completely after carb is full and try starting open 1/4 turn at a time if it fires
Thanks
In Nyack NY there is a boatyard using a crane that helped build the Empirr State Building.
Very cool man. This yard has a good collection of 1930s and 40s equipment still in service. Always great to see. Thanks for watching!
Hey....I have a motor that looks like your older one. Mine says gamble's on tank but its the same neptune. I bought it running but 1st try at home I broke pull cord. It sat 10 years after that. I've opened and cleaned it all out but i cant get it to fire. I do have spark though. Any tips? Carbs leaking a bit out the top. (I see yours does a little too) How many screws out from closed did you set fuel screw?
Hey thanks for watching! The jet setting will vary by engine depending on condition of piston/rings and crank seal. It is incredibly hard (but not impossible) to get it set right to start up if the crank seal is bad. Always start with the screw nearly closed like maybe 1/2 or 1 turn out max. Super easy to flood. A little push of the tickler and some pulling. Very slowly creep up on it by opening the screw about 1/4 turn every time you pull it off. If you flood it, close the screw completely, pull it a few times and restart process. Let me know if you need anything else and good luck!
Also, this engine design was extremely popular in the 30's. Evinrude, and many other had nearly identical versions. Be sure to confirm yours is a Muncie Neptune.

Thanks for watching & the correction!
that is how all engines should last..........30,000 hours minimum. Was the engine overhauled just on hours or oil samples?
Just on hours. The 12cyl had 35k hours on the last overhaul and was still fine, we try to do it every 30k just to avoid problems from worn power packs. Thanks for watching!
Very resilient engines. I work on a lot of 710G3 and 645’s on the railroad.
Always glad to hear the opinion from a railroad worker who works with them, we also respect their resiliency. Thanks for watching!
Wow, Sweet! Another good example of why we won the war!
Absolutely! The workmanship of days gone by is incredible. The brass castings on this engine alone are impressive. Even more so is they continued to put style in these mass produced engines like it's solid cast polished aluminum valve covers. Thanks for watching!
Wow, Sweet
Thanks man. I just cranked it up again in March and will be doing some more work on it and making more videos this August. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
@@FixAndForget Another good example of why we won the war!
I was a tool & die maker at EMD in the early 1980s. EMD at that time had 12,000 employees on 3 shifts building 6 1/2 locomotives a day. 144 tool makers in the toolroom in plant #1. They had small fire engines and ambulances, think clown car size, that would race down the aisles of the plant to fires and emergencies. They built almost every part in house from raw materials at the 3 EMD plants. I think the 20 cylinder engine was their largest. No castings, every thing was weldments. It was a remarkable place to work. Being a tool maker allowed me to go every where I wanted in the plant.
Yes all welded construction! I've never spoken to someone who worked at EMD. Where all 3 plants in/around LaGrange? What became of them, I heard when CAT bought them the plant was moved. Thanks for watching!
@@FixAndForget Plants 1 and 2 were in La Grange park. Plant 3, where they did the weldments was in Chicago Heights I believe. Never was at plant 3. La Grange was chosen for the location of EMD's plant because limestone bedrock was only a few feet under the ground level. If you could see the size of the machinery you could see how this was a requirement. La Grange park was one of only 2 places in the US where bedrock was on or the near the ground level. Plant one was built in 1935. My dad started working there in 1948 and I worked on the stator motor assembly line in 1964. Went into the Air Force in 1965 for 4 years. Became a tool and die apprentice in 1970 and got a job in the toolroom at EMD in 1980. Thought I had it made for life. Most people stayed till retirement. They had great UAW benefits. All came to a end when interest rates went to 19-20% and the Pen Central went bankrupt and sold off their locomotives for cheap. A two and a half year back log for locomotives disappeared and I got laid off. EMD never recovered. I think they still make the engines at Plant 1 but only have 900 or so people now. There is a great book called On Time by Franklin. M Beck that has the history of EMD until 1948.
I worked on ocean going tugs out of New York as 2nd engineer and they had EMD’s. 25 years later, I can still recognize a locomotive with EMD’s by their unique sound. Heartwarming. When I wasn’t chipping ice on deck, they sure kept me warm down, deep down, in the engine room!
Me too. You didn't happen to work for Bouchard, hopefully. Thanks for watching!
@@FixAndForget Nope. I worked for Moran. I had another job waiting for me in St Maartin!
@@lowandslow3939 Excellent, the Moran rigs I would see come into Texas were always really nice. Loved the EMD power they had too.
Did you know any of the Dowling family? Worked on Moran for generations.
@@frankherrick1892 I don’t, but I went to high school with a kid with the last name of Dowling in Connecticut in the late 70’s. If memory serves me, he was a real stoner.
It’s really interesting that the general design of this engine was developed in the 1930s. It has been updated since. I’ve never done any wrenching on an EMD, but have run them extensively in locomotives, from 567 powered 1950s models, through to modern. I have been around during rebuilding of their cousins, Detroit 53 and 71 Series.
I agree, I've worked extensively on Winton/Cleveland engines which became EMD late/after WWII. There are direct resemblances between the two, in fact the newer EMDs became even more simple than their 1930s ancestors. Probably one of very few examples of that happening throughout engine design history. Thanks for watching!

Gotta love it. Thanks for watching!
Used to work for a company that rebuilt those turbos
I've heard the earlier variants had weak points and were failure prone, we have consistently been getting 30k+ hours out of these now. Thanks for watching!
These engines are absolute works of art that can take a beating and keep on swinging, and even if they do break, they are so modular they are much easier to repair! Just a shame they're being run out by junk science.
Absolutely agree. There isn't anything about these engines that can go wrong and not be repaired. A rod coming loose and knocking a hole in the crankcase would spell certain death for most others but can be repaired in a day with these. Thanks for watching!
How much feul do they burn ,cheers
Depends on the plant configuration and load. One 12cyl online just keeping the lights and house load up is about 2,500 gallons a day. Both the big 16s online working hard burns about 14,500 gallons a day. All 4 engines online working hard is considerably more but I don't have those numbers off hand. Thanks for watching!
If you have a damaged pee pipe (piston cooling pipe), cut the block that bolts to the bottom of the liner off the tube and then once you’ve removed the good pee pipe from the assembly you’re removing, you can bolt that old pee pipe block to the liner and hold the piston in the liner as you lift the power assembly out of the block. Then you don’t need that threaded piston tool. We don’t even have one of those piston lifters in our shop. TESCO makes those blocks also, they have captured bolts in them so they don’t get lost.
Wow never thought of that. I will definitely keep that in my "toolbox". Thanks for watching!
I was going to say this too. I served my apprenticeship working on Locomotives ,mainly EMD's, most built in the early 1950's. ' One of the first things were told when starting out on EMD's was to never ever forget that rubber O ring, refered to as the life saver.
@@Mercmad If forgotten you would be back in there in a hurry. Thanks for watching!

EMD engines are amazing machines. Made to run and run and run......I have a friend who worked on them for years and he told me all about them. I have never been into one, Most of my engine experience is small to medium size Caterpillar stuff with a few Detroit Screemers thrown in now and again to keep my fingernails, clothing and tools black! After looking at your video I would love to be in on a rebuild of an EMD pretty straightforward from the looks of it. I like uncomplicated engines.
Thanks for watching. The overall design of these engines remains unchanged since the 1930s. They are still in production. Thanks for watching!
Man, I forget where I found it, but i read a short "book" on the development of the pistons for these. From the beginning to the last design, written by a group of the project engineers. It was actually pretty good, if you're into that type of read. There was pictures and diagrams and cutaways galore.
Absolutely! These engines run the new "eco-pack" sets. I believe they came out about 5 years ago but are still a 2 piece piston design. Thanks for watching!

Its weird hearing two stroke And then cam gear
Yeah all the big 2stroke diesels have massive exhaust valve gear. These are 4 valves per head. Slow speed engines are one massive valve per head. Thanks for watching!
@@FixAndForget ... and also drives the injectors.
Yep center lobe on the cam. The slow speed engines use individual "jerk" pumps to drive the injectors. Thanks for watching!
There is NOTHING like the sound of a turbo EMD going in and out of gear and the change in pitch of the exhaust note. Doesn’t matter how many times you hear it, it never gets old.
Totally agree. I worked with a few Cleveland and 567 EMDs so I am also privy to the "old" noise before the turbos but still love it. Thanks for watching!
@@FixAndForget I’ve worked around natural 12’s turbo 12’s natural 16’s and turbo 16’s all as propulsion engines. While the mufflers and piping effect the exhaust note of the particular installation the increased degrees of rotation per firing makes the natural 12’s sound the most rowdy but nothing is as smooth as a well balanced 16.
Almost all of the 2-strokes I've been around have been 900rpm generators without mufflers but a hundred feet of exhaust away from the stack. Just a low pitched drone by the time it made it out. The gear drive noise on the roots blown ones was the main noise heard, now just turbine wine. Both great!
Probably my favorite fact about these EMD engines. I am glad somebody made a video. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot! The turbo setup gives them the sound we all associate with them now.

correction i use to disassemble those turbocharger working at GE Engine System in upstate NY state, the gear in the middle is a DAMPENER GEAR to absorb the angular transient inertia, between the cam gears and the turbocharger input gear, the overrunning clutch is INSIDE the turbocharger unit if you spin the compressor wheel you'll see that the turbocharger INPUT gear that mess with the DAMPENER will spin in one direction BUT NOT in the other direction, by the way those turbo can spin up to above 17000 RPM .Yep it isn't pretty when one of those blows up on the test cell !
Thanks for the correction!
