Brother, to start/prime any diesel with a dry injection system, simply stretch a gasoline soaked wrag across/over the air intake and crank, it will fire better than starter fluid with no lock up. Fire it on gasoline fumes until till she takes on diesel. I am a former Alaskan diesel mechanic, and this works at 35°F below.
Of course a diesel mechanic would give us a tip that terrible. Gas fumes are still gasoline, ether is better because it doesn’t have as strong of a pre-ignition knock as gas, less potential for damage with ether assuming you don’t put a gallon of it in the intake.
The factory mufflers are extremely restrictive, you will gain a horsepower with any honda clone or predator header. The intake is also restrictive and robs power. The adjustment screw that the red throttle screw stops on is set at 3,000 rpm. If you remove the adjustment screw it will rev to 3,700 rpm which is totally safe for that little engine.
@@RedNeckAdventure there's no benefit to it. I just built one of these to blueprint specs and ported the head and slight porting /shaping on the prechamber and the power still drops off after 3,000. The stock heads on these stink so bad. The valves are completely shrouded, that's the biggest issue.
I bought a 10hp Chinese Diesel engine from a warehouse in the USA. It was shipped in 2 separate boxes. The outer box had a "THIS SIDE UP" notice on it.

I have a diesel engine I got from a stripped down generator at a local scrap yard. It was complete minus the muffler, voltage regulator and recoil starter. I got a nice muffler from an Onan twin engine, one of 2 (it was a twin cylinder), and I'll make it fit. I'm thinking of putting it on a riding tractor for riding around on.
Great reenactment of the delivery..lol..that Diesel engine is actually a 4hp Diesel with lots of torque for its size.. although many ads sell it as a 6hp in their description..it's really just a 4hp..I have seen it replace 8hp gasoline engines on several different machines such as log splitters..they can run on different fuel types without issues too such as used ATF ( automatic transmission fluid) and a slew of others..the original Diesel engines burned peanut oil before diesel fuel was available..probably burn almost anything but gasoline..used Vegetable oil would need to be heated up, like a copper coil / line wrapped around the exhaust system before it would burn..and the engine would need to start and be running Diesel fuel a few minutes to clean out the injector before turning it off if used with Veg oil etc..just a few on / off valves and separate fuel container to make it happen..Cheers..

Enjoyed the video! I have the same diesel engine just from a different manufacture. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with this engine so I'm glad I stumbled across this video. It'd be pretty cool to turbo this engine or maybe supercharge it. You could turn some serious power on that thing.
Lol intro prob demonetized. I bought two generators one with a 178f and the other a 186f. I'm going to fix and sell the one and use the money to rebuild the blown 186f 10hp. Looks like it dropped a valve and cracked the piston. No idea what I will use the engine for but it's cool af. Should break even and have a free China diesel
Here is a tip with those diesel engines I have run a few of them over the years add someone cheap Walmart 2 stroke oil to the fuel 111ml to 5L diesel and some ctane booster helps the injection work better and start easier. Also change the oil a few times after the first few runs. Also a bit bet exhaust helps to! 🤘🏻🍻
@@jwsbackyard6413 The last one I bought about 6 years ago had a lot of contamination after the first hour run time. The shell Rotella 15W40 diesel oil is the best I find in these engines. Has a lot of zinc in it witch is a good thing. Also when you add the 2 stroke oil it doesn't make it smoke any more than it already does

I appreciate it! Yeah the cable to the decompression seemed to be the best option. I have the cable and brakes I just need to get it on. You’ve got me interested now in the horizontal shaft to vertical transition now. I don’t have any suggestions at the moment. I’m going to have to look into it and let you know if I see anything promising.
I have a single cylinder Yan Marr diesel engine it’s made in Japan it works really really good it came off a compactor I had it run away on me two times because I accidentally overfill Oil However it did not blow up I like that design that you have on that engine versus the one that I have because the one I have is straight up and down
Also, For the one I have the owners manual recommends 10W-30 motor oil although a lot of people keep telling me to use Rotella diesel oil, no idea if it actually needs it or not.
Seems that that same delivery fellow drops stuff at my house on occasion. Congratulations you have created a truly obnoxious machine. But, it’s pretty unique too so, motor on and enjoy.
Sounds pretty good and rolls a fair amount of black smoke. Had my yellow 196 "4 horsepower" (actually a 3.5 horse) in a shed for about a year and it runs pretty strong to this day. Bought it for my mini tractor project. Also. Some people wonder if these cheap diesels share the same internal and external parts as the Hondas/Clones/Predators and such, and they want to know mainly because of all the aftermarket support (exhaust, air filters, connecting rods, etc.) for said engines. To answer their question: yes and no. Obviously the intake and exhaust manifold ports are the same as the 160/196/212 gas counterparts. I have a cheap Amazon intake adapter for a GX160 bolted to it and I used a flange from a generic 196 to make my smoke stack header. Judging by the outside view of my diesel engine, it looks to have the same bore and stroke as the said gas engines as well, so the billet connecting rods and pistons will definitely interchange and the high-revving crankshafts MIGHT interchange too. Cylinder heads will also interchange but good luck putting a fuel injector in the spark plug threads of a 212 HEMI cylinder head. Camshafts will interchange unless the diesel cam is of a bigger diameter or has another gear on it specifically to drive the fuel pump. Hopefully I'm right about some of this stuff. I'm honestly not familiar with these small diesels. LOL
FYI, starting fluid kills diesels. It's best to take a rag with a little gas on it and put it over the air filter housing. The fumes will run it more gently than ether will. But it looks like it was just an issue with bleeding that you had to deal with.
@@soberlife depends on a few things like volume, if it's two stroke boost pressure and the compression ratio. You can use either on an old Detroit but it'll just cause small diesels to detonate and bust rods.
Ether won't hurt a diesel. Done it hundreds of times and the outcome is always the same. They started. Its a total myth that it will destroy them. Glow plugs don't really like it, but regardless won't destroy an engine. Go watch zip ties n bias plies. He makes fun of this myth a lot while he is doing it.
He forgot to turn the throttle from "shut off" to "on". On all of these mechanical small diesel engines the lowest throttle position is "off" for the fuel = No fuel goes to the injector.
I ran a cable through the throttle stop screw that it has from factory. The stop screw is hollow and allows for a throttle cable to pass through but has a bigger cup that will hold the outer sheath of the throttle cable. Then I ran the cable through one of the holes in the throttle lever and put a cable stop on the cable. I put the cable stop on low enough that it always keeps a little tension on the throttle lever so that the engine will idle instead of returning all the way to stop. The red knob has to be loose so that the throttle will return to idle smoothly and not get stuck wide open. I will try to post a video of the setup soon.
I got one of these from Amazon. It arrived with the throttle control bent all to hell. I fixed that but the spring runs from the throttle control to a lever under the gas tank. When adjusting the throttle control the lever doesn't move. This doesn't seem right. Have you noticed on yours if the lever has much travel to it? I haven't been able to get fuel through the metal line. When I disconnect it at the bottom where it is hooked to the pump I get fuel but none at the top of the line.
The lever doesn’t have a ton of movement but that lever is what shuts off the flow of fuel. When you prime the fuel you have to have the throttle control open as if you are pressing the gas, otherwise the fuel is cut off. That was a mistake I made.
@@jwsbackyard6413 The lever only moves about 1/16 of an inch. I have the throttle control set nearly half way and still no fuel. I may have to return this engine.
So far I have done zero maintenance on any part of this engine since I posted the video and it cranks 1st pull almost every time. The rubber fuel hose has started to crack on the outside which seems premature so it will probably need replacement soon.
It always frustrates me when folk fit CVT transmission to things with no adjustments. In scooters you change roller weights, unless you get it right they are horribly slow, revving to high or low. In your Chinese CVT there is no adjustment ......unless...you change the spring on rear pulley, stiffer for higher rpm Even the ramp angle of rear pulley can be wrong so that the rpm is correct at full load but not at other times or vice versa!
I have a selection of garter springs to change engagement speeds on 30 series torque converters as wheel as yellow springs for the driven pulley if needed. Axle and jack shaft sprockets can also be changed here for different results but with an unknown engine and no one knows what changes to the converter are going to work for the setup until they get it together and try it out. I’ve changed the driver and jackshaft sprocket since this video and the kart is much faster.
Diesels will start easier if you take a hair dryer and stick the nozzle into the air intake. Blow hot air into the engine. If it's getting fuel it will start.
It’s a 20mm output shaft, most are 19mm, so it’s hard to find an affordable option. I shaved the output shaft down a mm so I could fit a standard 3/4 on it. I’m using a 30 series comet torque converter on it but it’s not quite strong enough to hold the belt with as heavy as the kart is.
How is it on fuel consumption? Just bought one for a DC generator to charge my batteries for my solar setup for Cloudy days. Thinking it will be better than gasoline. Thoughts?
I have a new predator 212cc and almost every time I tried to start it (before the break in period) it would backfire and yank the starter rope out of my hand, any idea why?
Dont listen to Jockwilson. This is an issue that we have come to accept with the 212. The engine has a built in decompression lobe on the camshaft that is designed to open the exhaust valve slightly during compression to make starting it easier. When the engine reaches its idle rpm, this lobe gets flung with centrifugal force, disconnecting the decompression. Most likely, im assuming you are starting the engine hot. Due to the extra force of the compression stroke, the engine likes to stop on said stroke if you shut off the engine,(if that makes sense) Due to this, the decompression often doesnt get a chance to trigger, leading to full compression of the engine, which means it fires before the piston reaches TDC, leading to the engine kicking back, as the term is named. What I like to do, is to pull it past said compression stroke gently, and once you pass it, you then give it a hard yank to start the engine. It might make you look like a pussy, but trust me, its worked fine for me every single time. The second more unlikely possibility is that somehow, the valve lash on the exhaust valve has changed, (aka the space between the rocker arms and valve stems) leading to the engine becoming insensitive to the slight opening of decompression, which means you need to manually recalibrate the valve lash on the engine, which you can find lots of videos about on youtube. Good luck on it!

The lever doesn’t have a ton of movement but that lever is what shuts off the flow of fuel. When you prime the fuel you have to have the throttle control open as if you are pressing the gas, otherwise the fuel is cut off. That was a mistake I made.
@@jwsbackyard6413 The lever only moves about 1/16 of an inch. I have the throttle control set nearly half way and still no fuel. I may have to return this engine.
Yeah I have had the pump out but haven’t opened the side cover up to see how the linkage really functions.
I for one would be interested to see how well the injection system lasts from a maintenance perspective.
So far I have done zero maintenance on any part of this engine since I posted the video and it cranks 1st pull almost every time. The rubber fuel hose has started to crack on the outside which seems premature so it will probably need replacement soon.
she's real pritty cleetus, i need get me some...
It always frustrates me when folk fit CVT transmission to things with no adjustments.
In scooters you change roller weights, unless you get it right they are horribly slow, revving to high or low.
In your Chinese CVT there is no adjustment ......unless...you change the spring on rear pulley, stiffer for higher rpm
Even the ramp angle of rear pulley can be wrong so that the rpm is correct at full load but not at other times or vice versa!
I have a selection of garter springs to change engagement speeds on 30 series torque converters as wheel as yellow springs for the driven pulley if needed. Axle and jack shaft sprockets can also be changed here for different results but with an unknown engine and no one knows what changes to the converter are going to work for the setup until they get it together and try it out. I’ve changed the driver and jackshaft sprocket since this video and the kart is much faster.
Diesels will start easier if you take a hair dryer and stick the nozzle into the air intake. Blow hot air into the engine. If it's getting fuel it will start.
Ha,Ha ; you so funny G.I.!!! P.S. to shut off engine you'll have to cut off air to it ; my guess is that switch your using for a depress, maybe???
What size centrifugal clutch do I get ? I wanna build one
It’s a 20mm output shaft, most are 19mm, so it’s hard to find an affordable option. I shaved the output shaft down a mm so I could fit a standard 3/4 on it. I’m using a 30 series comet torque converter on it but it’s not quite strong enough to hold the belt with as heavy as the kart is.
Ya bleeding the wrong side
Guillotine for the air box will work and if it ever tries to run away that can stop it
Surprised there's no "Grow Prug" on this thing. 😂🈵🈵🈵
To be fair, how the hell are you going to get a glow plug without a seperate electrical system?
It can be your towcart 😂
Did you fill your diesel engine with gas? Or did you fill a gas can with diesel fuel?
It’s just diesel in a red can
It’s a diesel 🎉
Piszok jó a füst menet közben.👍🏻😀
Chinese delivery men sure take the most unconventional delivery routes I've ever seen. I guess traffic must've been really bad.
How is it on fuel consumption? Just bought one for a DC generator to charge my batteries for my solar setup for Cloudy days. Thinking it will be better than gasoline. Thoughts?
I definitely fill it up less than my gasoline engines for the same running time. Don’t have any numbers but there is a noticeable difference.
It needs a turbo
1:35 haha wtf man?
Poor engine lol
You should turbo it

Homeless engine.
I have a new predator 212cc and almost every time I tried to start it (before the break in period) it would backfire and yank the starter rope out of my hand, any idea why?
Timming has slipped
or to much fuel is getting into cyl
@@jockwilson221 its brand new and I don’t think it’s doing it anymore, it hasn’t yet.
@@jockwilson221 predator 212 doesn’t have timing chain
Dont listen to Jockwilson. This is an issue that we have come to accept with the 212. The engine has a built in decompression lobe on the camshaft that is designed to open the exhaust valve slightly during compression to make starting it easier. When the engine reaches its idle rpm, this lobe gets flung with centrifugal force, disconnecting the decompression. Most likely, im assuming you are starting the engine hot. Due to the extra force of the compression stroke, the engine likes to stop on said stroke if you shut off the engine,(if that makes sense) Due to this, the decompression often doesnt get a chance to trigger, leading to full compression of the engine, which means it fires before the piston reaches TDC, leading to the engine kicking back, as the term is named. What I like to do, is to pull it past said compression stroke gently, and once you pass it, you then give it a hard yank to start the engine. It might make you look like a pussy, but trust me, its worked fine for me every single time. The second more unlikely possibility is that somehow, the valve lash on the exhaust valve has changed, (aka the space between the rocker arms and valve stems) leading to the engine becoming insensitive to the slight opening of decompression, which means you need to manually recalibrate the valve lash on the engine, which you can find lots of videos about on youtube. Good luck on it!

Turbocharge it
need some help turbocharging it?
It being on its side wouldn't make it smoke it's fuel injected not carburetor
Is the fuel consumption comparable to a gas engine, or better?
I would say it was a little better than gas. Not a ton but a little.
If the engine was not packaged properly you can blame China. If it was, all I can say is, the warehouse sorting alone is brutal on shipments. Source: I work for UPS.
Predator engines will be best for compact cars that has a damaged engine
Wonder if it would make a good long tail motor for a 12 foot Jon boat?
Honestly the power of this thing is pretty lack luster. It’s been reliable though.
@jwsbackyard6413 this engine runs at half the RPM of a predator 212 (3600 vs 1800 rpm)
I bet with a properly sized pulley, it could pull pretty well.
What oil did you use
It was some 10w30 motorcraft diesel oil
20 tooth top sprocket and she will sail
I had went up to a 14 tooth a while back and it def improved top end speed. Still geared for torque so a 20 may be in its future.
