In the meantime I did alot of testing...
I took of the blower and checked it and on the other side of the engine I replaced the gasket of the airbox cover. I thought the engine didn´t get enough air.
After that the engine smoked as it did before. :roll:
Than I took of the manifold and know it...
To make shure that I didn´t get bad fuel I took a can with 2 litres (0.5 gallon) and see what happend....:cry:
Fuel consumption of 0.5 gallon within 1 minute at idle speed....:shock:
What the **** is going on?:roll:
In the meantime I changed the thermostat. The engine temperature reaches 180°-190° F.
I also did the injector timing adjustment (no change needed)
I adjusted the valve clearance (they have been a little to loose)
and I adjusted the injector rack control lever (has been nearly ok).
I also checked...
The 3-53 of my goat doesn´t reach normal operating temperature...
If I push em to the limit the temperature will go up to 140° and it should be 180° - 200°.
So I opened the thermostat housing and i found the thermostat and another part.
I´m not shure if it belongs to the thermostat or if it is...

so we have to pay ~ $ 12.000,-
Some of them need alot of work and parts to run.
Anyway, $21.000,- seems to be not really cheap...

I started to bild a homepage about my Gama Goat and within the side I want to list all of the european Goats. By searching the web for Gama Goat owners I found an article and some pics about a meeting in the south of Germany...
Take a look at this beautyful Gama Goat! :-D
Thank you... that seems to be a good explanation for that noise :idea:
Sometimes my goat also hang a little bit on the left side and after a ride its gone.
That might have the same reason...:!:
I will check that!
