Oh one thing I did forget to add is when I changed the fuel filter I didn't prime it. I kept trying to crank it. Then primed with w80 and she fired up.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
When I first got mine it was smoking a lot. I even had a guy in a convertible BMW pull up next to me and yell at me for smoking him out. You couldn't see the smoke much but you sure could smell it. As soon as I advanced the timing just past the witness mark it ran so much better. It was really sluggish going up hills too. Good luck!Never thought to check the ip timing. Will look at that. I'll do some research and see what all to and where to look.
Yeah, mine was pretty tough to move too but eventually did. What did the witness marks look like? Was it retarded?Well I took the three 15mm and got them loose but the ip won't budge tried tapping with a hammer and nada
On the IP there are a couple of unthreaded bolt holes, one below the passenger side nut and one slightly above it. If I remember right they were 3/8" You can use a pliers to put a bolt in each hole. Find bolts that are short enough to stay in the holes but long enough to be able to use. Then you can use a big screwdriver or something like between them, to get a little more leverage, to turn the pump. That was the only way I found to get mine to turn, just don't get crazy with the pressure. Hope that helps.Well I took the three 15mm and got them loose but the ip won't budge tried tapping with a hammer and nada
Are you pressing the gas pedal after startup to kick it into high idle? Are you letting it warm up and hear it go back to slow idle after a little while? Is the smoke different between high and low idle?Ok guys I got the timing adjusted just took some elbow grease. About to take her for a spin but still seems to smoke at idle. I'm wondering if the fuel has possibly been turned up any and maybe this would cause excessive smoke.
