Yes. The more I look at the machine it’s obvious Someone before me has definitely been in there before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all your help! I will not give up. I did check the valve clearances when I first got it. They were a little loose compared to the spec so I tightened them up to spec with no change in how it runs. Once I finish the fuel system I will tear into the engine if I have to. Just wish it was...

Thanks for the info. Once I finish checking the fuel side of things I definitely plan to year in to the motor if it is not fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had ordered a Chinese clone before I saw your post. If that fixes it I will definitely take you up on the offer. I appreciate it!! I hate throwing parts at this but not sure what else to do at this point. I will definitely try the gravity feed just to eliminate air on the suction side of the...

This is how it has ran since I got it. Nothing I have tried has made any difference at all. If the remaining steps on the fuel system are done I will start tearing into the motor itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At this point with everything I have done and no change in how it runs I am also leaning towards air leak or IP. I have not bypassed with new lines so I will try that too while I wait. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Appreciate the suggestion! I think I will give it a try. Just afraid to run it too low I would assume if I brought the level down to the bottom of the dipstick it should still have enough oil to run safely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. I have minimal diesel experience so I am on a huge learning curve. I plan to install the injection pump. If that does not solve the problem I will check timing and probably replace the whole low pressure side of the fuel system. I did check the cam today and did not see or...

Still racking my brain on what is causing the issue. Waiting for a new injection pump. Is there any chance that the gasket #2 in the photo of the injection pump would allow air in without leaking fuel? I did come across a video of one running just like mine did and the cause was overfilled oil...

I am definitely going to look into the fuel side leading up to the injection pump. Might throw an injection pump on it too. I pumped all of the old fuel out of the tank using the low pressure pump. I did not notice any air bubbles except for if I shut the low pressure pump off then kicked it on...

I pulled off the air filter housing and looked into the intake heater and everything appears clear. I did not remove the intake heater Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. If it is an air leak it’s gonna be hard to find. There are no fuel leaks or seepage that I can find. I have not checked the timing yet and did not look for a bent tappet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have not drained the oil yet. It reads perfect on the dipstick and is below the threads so I don’t think it’s over full. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update. Just got the copper washer. Installed it and it made no difference. Through all the troubleshooting on this machine actually nothing has made a difference at all. The only thing I have not done is replace the injection pump or check the pump timing. There was one shin under the...

The decompression lever appears to be working properly. I have confirmed the injection pump is in the governor fork. I’m banking on the problem being the missing injector spacer. I will definitely give an update when it arrives next week. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The oil is slightly below the threads where you check the oil. I would say about half an inch down the top of the threads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did feel around with a pick. Nothing moved. I felt what I think is a small depression where the washer fits in? Nothing down there was copper colored. It was all a grey metal. I will be ecstatic if this turns out to be the problem. I will also feel like a moron if this is what I missed the...

Got it thanks!! Will update once the spacer arrives!! Appreciate it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I completely understand that. Electrical or gas engines I do well. Diesel is not my specialty at all obviously. I appreciate everyone’s input and will update when parts arrive. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the replies. I swear I checked for that washer when I first pulled the injector but it certainly is not there now. You can not pull the engine over with the rope unless you pull the compression release. It starts easy but will not rev up, smokes like crazy, and seems to shoot...
