MC-2A
Slight oil leak behind Alternator.
Ordered parts and will install next week.
I also ordered the governor cover gaskets.
Tore one when I installed the other new parts so will replace them both.
MC-2A
Adjusted engine RPM and torqued down the nut.
Then I safety wired it for security.
Installed two new air filters.
One for engine and other is for compressor.
(Ordered Wix part number and these were in Wix boxes)
Not sure what went in hole by rpm adjustment knob.
The manuals do not...
MC-2A
Installed parts yesterday and it was interesting.
How this broke is a mystery. Looks like it ran quite a bit afterwards
When installing new screw, discovered that the governor arm was bent. It would not line up properly. Pair of pliers fixed that.
Actually I think I bent it when I...
New parts FINALLY arrived.
A new Governor adjustment screw and crankcase breather gasket.
Still no service manuals …….so does anyone have the procedure on how to adjust it?
Or pictures?
Installing will be easy but I don’t know how far to screw the screw in to the pump rack.
The other unit is...
7MC-2A
The new breather tube didn’t make a difference at all on the blow by.
Will continue to use the tea bottle trick instead of tearing into it for that oring replacement.
Unit runs fantastic and starts right up
Pressure is great and is plenty for what I need.
Voltage is still doing great...
Which one did you get?
The 7MC-2A is the newer version and a lot less complicated.
Using mine for all sorts of projects
The Deutz engine parts on the MC-2A are slow in coming but still available.
They should be here the 15th or so.
7MC-2A
New part arrived.
Fit like a glove.
Will run it today to see if it helps with the crankcase pressure problem.
I think the blowby is too great for this tube to matter much.
If so, I will keep doing the tea bottle trick.
I'm not going to remove the heads and related hardware, at least...
7MC-2A
Started engine and the newly installed parts worked perfectly.
Had to replace some connections.
The old one was also hot to touch so I cut out the old female connector and replaced it with same style.
New connection is pictured.
With new one in place, the heat issue disappeared.
The...
7MC-2A
New parts arrived yesterday
Found some issues with the old parts.
It had been like that for some time
Glad I also ordered a new voltage regulator as it was fried as well.
The new alternator was slightly different with a protective covering at the wire attachment points...
I also ordered a new Hatz voltage regulator.
It's also made by Ducati.
Never hurts to have spare parts.
I'll do the testing procedure on the currently installed regulator when parts arrive and I'm ready for the install.
The cover is back on now and parked.
If I keep this one or sell it later...
7MC-2A
Did some more maintenance yesterday.
Installed new air filter and new pressure gauge on the compressor itself.
Also cleaned out the automatic air tank water drain.
Dirty and bits of rust in the screen but still works fine.
Took a closer look at the voltage regulator.
Made by Ducati...
Have been using the 7MC-2A quite a bit.
About 6+ hours since last post.
This thing is a lot more useful than I thought it would be.
Discovered that I have a crankcase breather problem.
It’s pressurizing the crankcase and forcing oil past the oring.
Had the oil fill cap off to check the amount...
While waiting on DEUTZ engine parts, I turned my attention to the 7MC-2A.
It hasn't been getting fuel to injectors and injection pump wasn't pumping fuel, even though the fuel pump & fuel solenoid are working properly.
Manual isn't really clear (to me) and I just started taking the governor...
I ordered the factory Deutz 208F Service/Operation/Parts manuals from Deutz.
I plan on keeping one of these and want to be able to fix it myself.
Very pricey but it will be worth it.
Issue SOLVED!!
That adjustment screw is broken in half
The threaded part was either taken out or fell out.
Someone had definitely been inside as the cover bolts were finger tight.
I manually adjusted the fuel rack on the pump and she fired right up! I immediately shut it back down
Made a HUGE...
This is from the Deutz commercial manual showing the 208 "D" schematic, which matches mine.
The 208 "F" is what the unit is supposed to have.
Engine looks original and does not appear to be a replacement.
Part's are correct.
#9 adjusting screw doesn’t attach to anything on mine.
(Edit: It does...
MC-2A......Deutz Engine
New Fuel solenoid was installed and fixed the fuel to IP issue.
Injection pump still will not pump fuel to injector.
Discovered the Governor linkage is missing parts or something.
The part attached to the Governor arm is different that what's shown in the schematic. It's...
