    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    I appreciate that 100%. Unfortunately mine runs great but doesn't make power so it's yard art now. Only 71 hours on it too. Kinda sad. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    Did you drain the oil yet just to see it's not over filled? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    AC60G Glow Plug Failure

    Definitely fix the coolant temp wires. If it has the 2 wire connector I'd just replace the wiring. I've found the new sensors aren't exactly the right resistance to make the card do the correct glow times vs temp. Check the glow times with a volt meter on the output of the glow relay to make...

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    That's gold right there!! It's been years since I got the oil level wrong in mine so I can't remember how much I put in it. Having a stick would be nice though! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    Interesting! Mine is just a plug on the 531. So from my motorcycle days do you screw in the stick to get the level or just pop it in without screwing it in. I ended up draining the oil and getting a proper measuring cup to get mine right. Dang thing smoked for at least 30 minutes after that...

    Gov Planet fee increase for bidders

    I got that too. It won't effect me since I don't buy things that cost much. The scale was already 15%. It raised the fee for things over 5 or 10k I think...it was 10% now 15%...which is nuts!! I think in 2018 the fee was 5%. They don't do the pallet pot luck stuff anymore either. Sent from my...

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    There's no stick in the 831 like the 531 then. Ugh. Mine I can't see much from the filler but I don't know if it's the same on the 831 but the 531 takes under a quart. I didn't have a way to measure the oil going in and guessed wrong big time. On a side note there wasn't a live bug within 50...

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    Just out of curiosity how full is the engine oil? I got a 531 that I put to much in and it smoked and ran like heck. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    AC60G Glow Plug Failure

    If that coolant temp sensor gets disconnected the glows do the 3 30 second post running cycles every time it starts. I run 60g in mine. Mostly because I can get them at the local parts store easily. The 13g is the stock one if I remember right it has the thinner blade connectors. I haven't...

    Throttle Pedal Travel and Kick Down Switch

    I have bent mine too. Pretty easy. Wondered how it got bent in the first place...big boots and dirt I bet.

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    That sounds good. Sometimes the injector pintle gets pushed open with the engine compression too. The injector shouldn't cost much. You find a part number in the tm? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    So my thought on testing the injector would be jump starting it with the nato plug, with the injector removed but with the metal line hooked up. Could get a see of what the injector is doing turning over fast. Could use the battery with a good jump pack on it too but thinking the faster it turns...

    Never apologize bud!! I don't know these that well so it threw me off thinking there was a different model that was offered. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    Ok I'm confused. I thought the 831 had one cylinder. Is there another type out there? I have a 531 and thought the engines were similar. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mep 831a black smoke won't rev up and shooting flames out the exhaust

    Sounds like the injector is stuck open dumping fuel. With the black smoke and the red exhaust points to to much fuel. Could be the timing is way off too or both. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Ok then you gotta keep it simple and make sure the emergency shut off switch is pulled out and start checking for power starting at the batteries out. I usually split stuff in half...start at the batteries and the start switch and see where the power stops so it isolates which direction to go.

    What did I do to knock out power to the starter?

    That box hanging out of the fuses is not stock plus the wire tagged under the light fuse. No idea what's going on there you'll have to figure out what that is. The starter relay is under the dash to the left where the radio should be. It may be bad...you can unplug it and jump the 2 big wires...

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    There should be a plastic tube gasket that goes over the mirror post that gets cinched when you tighten down those bolts. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Ugh...so when you turn the start knob to prime the fuel pump doesn't turn on and these test lights won't turn on? No guage lights? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Do you have the batteries hooked up for 24 volts? Are they charged? Do the test lights work? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
