Using 100% diesel mine would damn near instantly start
When using 70% WMO, 20% diesel, 10% gasoline, mine takes about 4-5secs to start with a slight pedal input.
Have you removed the fuel shut off cover yet, and associated linkage to verify it moves freely and correctly? A very common 5min job could save you an hour or two from pulling the HH.
$180/year here in Ohio with Hagerty. Fully insured, no mileage limits. Plus one free tow within 100miles. Insured for 3x my purchase price and an extra $1500 in “parts”. I even have standard plates, not “Historical”. Which means I’m not even limited per the state on when I can drive it.
Just seen your earlier post, I apologize! I was reading down through the thread and by the time I posted my reply, it updated and you had already responded!
That’s probably what I would do since I have the tools/welder to do it. I’d buy a few bends, cut out what’s needed and weld it back in, or find a cheap prebent section(if cheaper) and also make it work
The difference is where the adjusting nut is and where the adjuster contacts. Supposedly it contacts at a different angle, causing a slight change is ratio. I haven’t compared mine yet
I’m not sure the break-ins specs for this engine, but at least the few gasoline engines I’ve built/rebuilt we would limit high RPM’s and stay out of boost for a few thousand miles with oil changes frequently.
If it’s just power to a blower motor, something as simple as this could be used. Essentially the same as a dimmer switch for your home/ceiling fan/lights/etc.
