    Bore honing

    Sounds like a plan! Thanks.

    Bore honing

    Have a 240D that was getting hard to start and figured it was likely a leaking head gasket. Surprisingly, pulled the head and it looked excellent, no leakage or hot gas marks. I pulled the pistons though and the top ring on each was broken. Piston walls are totally slick and no crosshatch. Not...

    New head gasket bad?

    Sorry, should have been more specific. 2 cyl. YM240D. They don't have thermostats. The head gasket can go on wrong, but only in one way and it would be really obvious that the head doesn't have passages under the head gasket holes.

    New head gasket bad?

    Just finished putting in a new head gasket. Warmed it up and retorqued without anything amiss. Ran it for about 15, was going to do the hour and last retorque, and it overheated. No water in the oil, no noticeable leaks, and no bubbles in the overflow. Flushed the radiator and and restarted...

    Head gasket

    Yep, I even took it to a head shop and had them check just in case. The install is similar to what you show but it doesn't have cap screws plus the torque is way higher (130ft.lbs.). I took the head off today since it wouldn't start this morning anyway. I really didn't see anything wrong. The...

    Head gasket

    Have a Yanmar 240D that I replaced rings and head gasket on last year. Put about 40 hours? on it and shut it down without problems. Tried to start it when it was cold unsuccessfully. It would just crank and not fire with white smoke. Figured I'd fix it when the weather warmed up. Sat for 4-5...

    Generator type?

    How do you replace both at the same time since I don't have markings on either the voltage regulator or the generator? Jepsen manual has nothing on the subject and the FO-4 only shows a schematic with a regulator 8N10505 with a 8N10000 B or C generator. FO-4 has the descriptions of 6 generators...

    Generator type?

    '48 8N Ford, front mount distro, and considering replacing the generator. The generator on it has 3 wires and terminals, I believe ground and field on the barrel and armature on the back face. It also has a screwdriver high/low adjustment. That would make the generator a 8N1000A? Also, if rather...

    Dead coil?

    Don't know if it was just the connections or not but switched back to original resistor bloc and it started up. Its running a bit rough but I engaged the 5 ft. brush hog and it powered that. I'll check and make sure I didn't carbon up a plug or 2 and that its getting full fuel flow. Thanks for...

    Dead coil?

    Your correct. I actually ran the jumper from the negative side of the starter solenoid since the connection was easier and closer.

    Dead coil?

    Nope, I pulled the points this morning and they are working as advertised. I ran a jumper from the ground side of the battery to the coil and it started right up but only runs a few seconds and shuts down. From the schematic, directly powering the coil bypasses the ignition switch, resistor...

    Dead coil?

    8N front mount, original 6V. Mowed for about an hour and it started running rough, like a couple cylinders only occasionally firing. Checked fuel flow, good. Started it a couple times fiddling with the carb, which is new with about 15 hours on it and no problems. Put the charger on it and...

    Low Battery voltage?

    Yep! Charged the battery a few hours and it fired right up. Didn't know it would make it stop running though. Guess its time to figure out the generator problem..

    Low Battery voltage?

    I have been working on getting a 48' 8N (6V front mount) running reliably again after sitting for 7 years. Replaced points (gapped at .015), condenser, coil, distributor, cap, and rotor. I already knew (from previous owner) that the generator was not charging but in the interest of getting it...

    Bad starter button?

    Yeah, I smacked it once or twice just to make sure as well...:cool:
