Another Moose is loose in Florida
Yessir, that's SOP for cool/cold weather starting, more specifically I was stating that I could not get either of the soleniods to actuate even with a designated hot wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the contact on the solenoid, with the body of the soleniod pressed firmly...- BioFarmer93

Hey JD, I'm glad you could make it even if there were problems with the timing meter, it was good just to meet and talk to another Fla. Oil Burner. Did that different route back home work out OK for you?- BioFarmer93

Yeah- I remember seeing those someplace in my internet travels... If I could just remember where. It was a major remanufacturing facility, I spent about fifteen minutes reading at their site about all the stuff they do to them and all the computerized machines they have to get the bores straight...- BioFarmer93

Wow, Billy- Thanks for reminding me. I know yours will turn out better than mine just because by the time I finished it I had already seen things I should have done better/different. Oh yeah, my centrifuge from PA-Biodiesel came in the mail today... Guess I know what tomorrow night's project is...- BioFarmer93

Another Moose is loose in Florida
Actually it functioned fine as far as helping the mileage a little and cleaning up the emissions, but the design of the reservoirs and bubblers needed to be improved and I had a bunch of little leaks all over the system that really kept it from performing at its best. The HHO system is currently...- BioFarmer93

Hey Burt, Actually was a little more work than socializing but I hear you. I think a Northern Fla. Sunday Pot Luck & Diesel Social isn't a bad idea at all. I'll start a thread for it when I get home this evening.- BioFarmer93

OLDBULL- neither the old-old or new-old high idle solenoid that I had on hand could be made to function even with a direct connection to a battery (they ARE just 12v neg ground solenoids, right?) anyway we are currently solenoidless.. After I get the P/S belt on tonight I'll take him for a ride...- BioFarmer93

Another Moose is loose in Florida
Henry got a heart transplant Sunday and boy does he feel like a new truck! Billy (gonecrazyi) and JD (Diesel JD) made the trip up to Jacksonville yesterday and we got the Baby Moose installed in short order. Billy has installed several pumps and I wanted some hand-holding the first time so I...- BioFarmer93

diesel RX glow plugs
Diesel Rx's Wellman plugs seem to die an early death (in my experience) just like all the other non-Beru/Motorcraft plugs out there. Their controller is still working OK but the Wellman's went; 1 the first week, 1 the week after, 2 more the fourth week. Ran on 4 plugs for 4 or 5 months until I...- BioFarmer93

Forgot to purge...
I scored about 18-19 gallons of nearly virgin hydraulic oil a couple days ago at a little hydraulic repair place near where I work. It's pretty thick stuff @ 60F and gave my sucker pump a hard time, but I got it home and cut it with 5 gal. of ULSD, heated & filtered it for a day. Zero water &...- BioFarmer93

Would WMO work better if it was pre-heated?
Like Sassyrel said, filtering is the most important, but sure, heat reduces the viscosity of any oil. If viscosity is actually the problem, that's easily fixed with dilution. According to whatever the rough average weight of WMO you're using, and the fact that winter is coming on, diluting 20%...- BioFarmer93

Cheap bulk fuel filters
Hey BBT- Man, I don't know what it is, but you are doing SOMETHING wrong :dunno- no slam intended... How fine are you filtering & what kind of oil? How much are you diluting & what are you diluting with? Shoot me $25 to cover my cost & postage and I'll send you 1 each of my spare 5m & 0.5m...- BioFarmer93

Intermittant surging
Was this a definative fuel type surge (feels like NOX) or more of a "Hmmm, she seems to be running better all of the sudden" surge that is more commonly related to drifty IP timing? Go ahead, ask me how I know the difference.LOL- BioFarmer93

Family rig revival
A decent core is all that is really needed and an open request to the board at large will usually get a couple folks that have pumps waiting on money to go to Agnem for rebuilding. Perhaps an agreement can be reached with someone to send their pump to be rebuilt for you if you send your old pump...- BioFarmer93

Welcome Stumpjumper- You have landed at THE undisputed best place to learn about these trucks. Just a quick word about the moose-misters, unless you have a turbo and are building a "hot" engine, they are way more injector than you need especially for right now.
