People...yes this method introduces moisture into the system to find the leak, but before you recharge the system with refrigerant you are supposed to pull a vacuum on the system to get rid of the moisture anyways so??? Not everyone has nitrogen either like OP has tried to explain, good video for the DIY'er thanks!
@FixAndForget 4 күн бұрын
Wow thanks for this comment. I was shocked at how many people blew up about adding moisture. A vacuum pump can be rented from almost any major auto parts store. Nitrogen and associated manifold, hoses, connections, ect. Can not. Defeats the purpose of the video. Thanks again for watching and the kind words!!

Hey....I have a motor that looks like your older one. Mine says gamble's on tank but its the same neptune. I bought it running but 1st try at home I broke pull cord. It sat 10 years after that. I've opened and cleaned it all out but i cant get it to fire. I do have spark though. Any tips? Carbs leaking a bit out the top. (I see yours does a little too) How many screws out from closed did you set fuel screw?
@FixAndForget 18 күн бұрын
Hey thanks for watching! The jet setting will vary by engine depending on condition of piston/rings and crank seal. It is incredibly hard (but not impossible) to get it set right to start up if the crank seal is bad. Always start with the screw nearly closed like maybe 1/2 or 1 turn out max. Super easy to flood. A little push of the tickler and some pulling. Very slowly creep up on it by opening the screw about 1/4 turn every time you pull it off. If you flood it, close the screw completely, pull it a few times and restart process. Let me know if you need anything else and good luck!

I was a tool & die maker at EMD in the early 1980s. EMD at that time had 12,000 employees on 3 shifts building 6 1/2 locomotives a day. 144 tool makers in the toolroom in plant #1. They had small fire engines and ambulances, think clown car size, that would race down the aisles of the plant to fires and emergencies. They built almost every part in house from raw materials at the 3 EMD plants. I think the 20 cylinder engine was their largest. No castings, every thing was weldments. It was a remarkable place to work. Being a tool maker allowed me to go every where I wanted in the plant.

@stephenp8086 25 күн бұрын
@@FixAndForget Plants 1 and 2 were in La Grange park. Plant 3, where they did the weldments was in Chicago Heights I believe. Never was at plant 3. La Grange was chosen for the location of EMD's plant because limestone bedrock was only a few feet under the ground level. If you could see the size of the machinery you could see how this was a requirement. La Grange park was one of only 2 places in the US where bedrock was on or the near the ground level. Plant one was built in 1935. My dad started working there in 1948 and I worked on the stator motor assembly line in 1964. Went into the Air Force in 1965 for 4 years. Became a tool and die apprentice in 1970 and got a job in the toolroom at EMD in 1980. Thought I had it made for life. Most people stayed till retirement. They had great UAW benefits. All came to a end when interest rates went to 19-20% and the Pen Central went bankrupt and sold off their locomotives for cheap. A two and a half year back log for locomotives disappeared and I got laid off. EMD never recovered. I think they still make the engines at Plant 1 but only have 900 or so people now. There is a great book called On Time by Franklin. M Beck that has the history of EMD until 1948.

It’s really interesting that the general design of this engine was developed in the 1930s. It has been updated since. I’ve never done any wrenching on an EMD, but have run them extensively in locomotives, from 567 powered 1950s models, through to modern. I have been around during rebuilding of their cousins, Detroit 53 and 71 Series.

I agree, I've worked extensively on Winton/Cleveland engines which became EMD late/after WWII.

If you have a damaged pee pipe (piston cooling pipe), cut the block that bolts to the bottom of the liner off the tube and then once you’ve removed the good pee pipe from the assembly you’re removing, you can bolt that old pee pipe block to the liner and hold the piston in the liner as you lift the power assembly out of the block. Then you don’t need that threaded piston tool. We don’t even have one of those piston lifters in our shop. TESCO makes those blocks also, they have captured bolts in them so they don’t get lost.
