winget 4s dumper

[Jeremy Rowland]

tried cold start lever etc cant tow it as yet because of wrecked track rod will try when track rod situ remedied.
How big was the guy on youtube (just a thought)

According to what it says at the end of the video he is only 16! Now can I ask when you use the de-compressor levers on your dumper does the engine spin over easily or not? Because if the answer is not then I suspect that your dumper engine may have other issues?

hi jeremy
the engine spins perfectly untill decompress lever is dropped
Just found there are 2 settings for spill timeing for different rev ranges will have to check it

Norman it could still be your technique? Watching the video again the lad who starts that particular engine does crank it quite quickly before dropping the de-compressor, unfortunately I am no expert on these engines although I do know that it was possible to start larger engines such as old Gardner engines using the de-compressors.

Hi all
Re my first inquiry about track rod ends.
Well ive got a complete track rod off an LDV van the tapered joints are closest ive found so far so its getting cut and shut & fitted so i can move the vehicle

Hi one and all
Got the engine started today but only run on 1 cylinder fuel is up to the injector so reckon the injector needs a coat of looking at.
good points seem to be - no nasty noises or smoke.
hey ho here we go getting there

Norm, whip the "dead" injector out and see if it's the type which can be dismantled fairly easily. I just wish I could remember what's in there! Been there, done that and forgot all about it.....

It's my age, you know.

Thanks ian
Do i need a whitworth whip or what
Norm

I don't think there is a standard for whips as there are so many potential variables.

As I see it, any whip will do.
