I am just commenting on all your videos cause I feel like you should be at 648K subscribers cause all these videos are great dude. Keep it up, and please try to turbo one of these diesel engines.
I appreciate it man. Have a different injector pump I need to try out and just haven’t got around to it. If it works then turbo could be in the future.
Watching this in New Zealand. I think you should try running it on used chip oil etc. Imagine this as a post apocolyptic, mad max vehicle, could you make it run on what's available? I dunno. But this channel is awesome!
Yeah I’ve been thinking of trying some different fuel sources just for fun. I have seen someone running on vegetable oil but they had to heat it to keep it thin enough to flow well. I appreciate it!
I just got a red one. But it looks like the Orange one. I think it had the same weird stickers and has wing nuts on the intake and exhaust. But has a fuel filter that was backwards and a hose from the crank breather to the intake. And has a center bolt valve cover and came in a wooden crate.
I’m thinking that they may have updated the design since I bought the red one years ago and the differences I saw were because of the update and not because the red and orange are actually different.
Often changes makes them last, not just any brand name oil... this is low performance diesel engine. Spin it slower and load it only when its hot and you are good to go. Chinesium fails anyway at random, go honda if you need reliability as you cant beat quality control and material quality 🎉🎉
I adapted the 20 MM shaft up to 1 inch and had no problem finding clutches and bigger pulleys. I won't use either as you can crack the insides. Use hot water. The 15W40 oil has to be topped off a lot as the oil consumption is higher than many motors. A 7 inch skinny Vee belt pulley is good for an alternator. I never loosened the fuel line but either. I wired the decompress and pulled many times until I smelled fuel oil through the exhaust. I don't rev hard and I run it on pump diesel only. It takes like 20 hours to break in.
I used sand paper and a file on the first engine but I used a grinder and sandpaper for the second and it went a lot faster. Just have to take a little at a time and measure often.
You would have to look into it but from memory to run a generator you need to have the engine to be able to get to a certain rpm to be able to create the correct frequency something like that but if you do a quick search you'll find your answer
Hi JW, i have been looking at that one and the predator 212.... Im building a small well drilling rig and need it to run steady around 2000 rpm.... which one do you think will give me the best torque? 2000-2500 will be my set rpm range
I’m not really sure where each of them make their torque at but the predator makes more torque than the diesel. The diesel will be better on fuel, can run on used oils and it will be easier to maintain without the carb. The predator is cheaper, has a ton of parts available and makes more power. There are pros and cons for both but the predator is really the most practical option unless you are out away from civilization.
I’m pretty sure these rev to 3600. Same as a gasser. They should make approximately half the Tq of a gx200 because they make half the hp. Hp is a byproduct of Tq. It should be about 4.4 ft/lbs.
@@jwsbackyard6413 16-gram tire inflator carts, perhaps paintball marker tanks... or when I was in vocational school, the instructor kept a stock of CO2 fire bottles in his office!
I have taken the injector apart and had the pump out before but haven’t modified anything. Been trying to figure out how to increase fueling for some nitrous or forced induction.
I messed around with mine and I got a higher fuel pressure by removing 2 of the 3 spacer gaskets between the pump and the front cover, it wasn't a huge increase but it was definitely present.
Mine have been reliable. They just don’t make a ton of for power. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about using them for that just don’t know how much power you’d normally need.
My first question was going to be are they powerful. I thought it and you said it. Well done on the video my southern brother from another mother.

I run mine on straight used engine oil with abit of petrol. No issues it runs and starts just as well as diesel
? You mix rapseed cooking oil with 10% diesel and enjoy low fuel prices here in europe 😮
@@jwsbackyard6413mix in some Diesel and you won't need heat.. or mix even more diesel 20%
the soot in the air filter is from you useing the decomp switch to turn it off
That’s completely obvious now that you point it out. I don’t know how I hadn’t connected that before.

9:51 how do you turn it off without pushing the decompression switch?
If you push the throttle all the way up towards the turtle it will cut the engine off. That is the way you are supposed to turn it off.
walmart sells gallons rotella oil around $20 , This will make those diesel carts last long time ~ get you some

@@mmuller2402yea. Although mine is soldiering on with about 5 to 10 hours on it

Try running some 50 weight, might decrease oil consumption a good bit.
@@FeatheredDino I'm not worried about oil consumption. Just reducing wear.
does it have a governor or is that throtle knob directly controling the injector ?
It does have a governor but the governor controls the injector pump.
What did you use to file the crankshaft down?
I used sand paper and a file on the first engine but I used a grinder and sandpaper for the second and it went a lot faster. Just have to take a little at a time and measure often.
I have a 400cc varent 10 hp I run a inr supercharger on mine idk what the final hp is but its probably 2x what stock is
Interesting, how are you adding fuel for the supercharger?
@@jwsbackyard6413 Mine has a adjustment screw for the fuel rack, but might wanna see the turbo video from CarsandCameras they did a turbo varent
but long story short on most of these engines under the fuel pump there is some shims that control how much fuel is deliverd
Cool, I appreciate it!
Would one of these be strong enough to run a 2500 colemann generator head? probably would have to gear it up
Not sure about that specific generator but it’s rated at around 3hp and 6lbs of torque.
You would have to look into it but from memory to run a generator you need to have the engine to be able to get to a certain rpm to be able to create the correct frequency something like that but if you do a quick search you'll find your answer
3hp (2.2kw) diesel would probably power a head that would make less than 1.5kw, going by the usual loss from engine output to electricity output
@@Derski923600 is usually the rpm needed. These spin 3600.
The generator head is going to be taper shaft. I have yet to see one of these with taper.

The engine isn't weak. It's the normal specs for a 196cc diesel.
...which is built based off a generic petrol engine, which was either I think Honda or Briggs (I can't think of the other brand right now)
Thank you sir! Good informational video!
is the mount above the throttle cracked already?
No it’s just a shadow from a casting ridge
Good info.
I’m pretty sure these rev to 3600. Same as a gasser. They should make approximately half the Tq of a gx200 because they make half the hp. Hp is a byproduct of Tq. It should be about 4.4 ft/lbs.
You can also shoot CO2 into the intake to stall the engine.
Shoot that’s a good idea!
@@jwsbackyard6413 16-gram tire inflator carts, perhaps paintball marker tanks... or when I was in vocational school, the instructor kept a stock of CO2 fire bottles in his office!
I actually already have it setup for the 16g cartridges from where I was playing with nitrous so that would be an easy option.
have you messed with the fueling systems at all?
I have taken the injector apart and had the pump out before but haven’t modified anything. Been trying to figure out how to increase fueling for some nitrous or forced induction.
I messed around with mine and I got a higher fuel pressure by removing 2 of the 3 spacer gaskets between the pump and the front cover, it wasn't a huge increase but it was definitely present.
Interesting, I’m going to have to try that.
@@jwsbackyard6413that change’s injection timing but not pressure.
I want one for my mud motor
Mine have been reliable. They just don’t make a ton of for power. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about using them for that just don’t know how much power you’d normally need.
It would be great for a kid, not to fast, but could run all day without burning up a briggs gas 5hp engine
You need a little turbo on there
Working on some options to increase fueling first. If I can get that worked out turbo may be in the future
