You must hold the start switch in the start position until oil pressure builds. The starter has a switch that disengages the starter motor once a certain RPM is reached... but holding the main start switch in the start position bypasses the oil pressure and other safety switches. Are you...

I actually just did a video on this... 1 mic sock filter back to back comparison to my direct drive centrifuge... Sock filters can work well on a tight budget... but they can't remove water. You can get sub micron bag/sock filters... but they are spendy. Long term, a centrifuge will...

Hey alls... So I've been into WMO for over a decade at this point. In the last 8 months, I started doing videos on the subject on my YT channel. I test different filtration methods, blends, go over tank and system plumbing, etc. I've also done some back to back comparisons of different...

Have you tried cleaning the posts with a small wire brush? Might just be corrosion considering you get a voltage reading if you jab the pose hard enough. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

You are likely correct. I've just been going through everything that I can before pulling the machine apart. Did you pull them and take them to an injection shop or did you rebuild and test them yourself? I'm planning on picking up a pop tester for my Merc. so I may be able to test them...

Now it'll take an 8k load. Drops from 61.5hz to 60.5-61hz... still wont take 12.5k. Even if I run the frequency up manually with an 8k load on it.. still falls flat. Don't know if it's linkage or what. It could be so many things causing low power. I might check timing while I'm at it...

After reading the TM, I think I need to pull the main cover and start from scratch on the linkage and gov. adjustment.. just reset everything by the book. I noticed the linkage binding against the pump as well while playing with it. Looks like I've got some work to do. EDIT So... one part...

Ok... Ran the purge through it today. Ran half of it at no load... half at 4kw load. No real change but the fuel that was returning definitely changed color. After letting it sit for a bit after the purge, I ran it for an hour with a 33.8a load. Runs smooth and clean. Tried to throw the last...

Didn't get to mess with it. Rain moved in and we had a lot to do as I was surprised with hosting Christmas dinner. Maybe tomorrow if the weather breaks. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

Looks very similar to what we do. We batch 55 gallons at a time and run for 40 hours in a loop (pressure release returned to pump inlet instead of the drum). Haven't had any issues after a few thousand gallons. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

No problem. You can get a new one with a lifetime warranty from most parts stores for under $50. Then I use an adapter fitting to go to my hydraulic line that feeds the centrifuge. Works great.

Power steering pump that uses a remote reservoir. We use a power steering pump from a ford focus with a v belt pulley from tractor supply. It'll run the centrifuge at 90-100 psi no problem with a 1/3hp motor. This is my setup.

Its got a few hours of run time on it now with treated fuel. I'm going to do the liquimoly diesel purge when it comes in (1000ml) and then run it under a load for a few hours. I'm also going to check the droop adjustment on it. I'll know more saturday about what is going on. Thanks for the...

Not at the moment. Not that I'm apposed to running it.. but no need at the moment. I got this unit as non-running. Rebuilt the IP, replaced glow plugs and harness... removed the factory fuel filter setup and installed spin-ons... serviced it out and re-painted. It's been running now...

If it doesn't cure it, I'll certainly hit you up on rebuilding the injectors. The pump has already been gone through but I have no way of balancing the injectors myself and for one set, it isn't worth building a pop tester. I'll take a video of how the process works. I use it in my IDI and my...

I'm gonna go on and order a few cans of liquimoly diesel purge and see if I can get them cleaned out without pulling the machine apart and sending them off for rebuild. I've had great luck with this stuff on other small mechanical diesels so we'll see. Stuff works by disconnecting the fuel...

That's what I'm concerned with at the moment. The exhaust port closest to the cooling fan smokes pretty heavily on startup. It has since getting it running. Its a white smoke but it clears after a few seconds of running at speed and no misfiring or anything... but makes me think there is an...

New air filter (and no haze or smoke from over fueling or lack of air). The fuel in the tank is treated and its had a good bit of dieselklean ran through it. I'll look at adjusting droop this weekend and if that doesn't fix it, pick up a few cans of diesel purge to clean the injectors with. I...

I'll give that a look. Ive not messed with any of it since having the pump off so it could very well be out of spec. I'll dig out my manuals and take a look. Thanks. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

One of the filters is a water separator. I did clean the pumps originally when getting the unit running. 12.5k is the residential rating on these units so I'd assume it could handle it without issue based on what others have said. Its a load test, not what I'll actually run on the unit. Sent...
