Yeah , well it's hard not to look at a hole blowing air at you. I strapped the gauge down with a ratchet strap. Pay attention here- both injectors were IN. Both glow plugs were OUT. comp gauge in one inj hole . Cranked. Zero on gauge, air blowing out of OTHER inj hole when cranked. Sounds like...

To all Tried a comp check this am. Inj in, plugs out. Plenty air coming out of empty plug hole, but zero comp in hole w gauge. Switched them. Same result. Ok smart asses, now what? Head gasket?

Uh, that's the question I have been asking There are no marks on the face of the pulley. Flywheel inaccessible.

Fresh start- after it soaks I'll do a compression check both ways. Inj both in and test plug holes. Plugs both in and test inj holes. It's only 2 cyls, any other variations?

Bought it as-is on a garage floor. Yes, I checked valves for clearance, but there is NO mark on the front pulley for TDC on#1. So it's close. Anything is possible, but it does not look like the head has been off. The crotch of the situation is whether the assend is good or not. THAT needs to...

TKS. It seemed I got air coming out of the other glow plugs hole. I'll do it again your way, their way, whatever. I'm giving the cylinders a douche with acetone/ATF & letting it soak. Maybe free up rings BTW, did it w plugs both in & inj out

Can't do glow plugs hole, it is in a common manifold before valves. UH OH used old rubber top comp gauge, only makes around 100. Bad JUJU. Not putting a dime into it till I see if assend is good. Suggestions?

I'm gonna be real surprised if someone wants them, but they're FREE in Middle River MD. I'd like to get 100 for the cushions on them (good condition) but free without them. Dirty. But will clean up ok

2 points- carry all docs re: license, vaccinations, etc Any time you visit a vet for anything, ask them to scan the chip (you do want her back, right?). They DO go bad.

Canvas I am going to try to attach a Sunbrella guide here. WARNING!! Do not spray the canvas on a dock, driveway, etc. The overspray will last for YEARS showing the outline. Wife was pissed............. Can't attach, will send later

I have Lien Hwa 30, and would be grateful for anything that helps me with the 12vdc electric. Schematics, wire coding , diagrams etc

Been there. Speeds up a LITTLE, not a real pop. Oiled the cylinders w plugs out & let it soak. Throws the stuff across the garage. (Well, OK, maybe a little too much oil..........) Cleaned off the crank pulley, can't see any marks for TDC.

Guys, I appreciate all the input. But down & dirty do I put another $100 minimum into this when I dont know if it will make electric or not. I don't "NEED" a generator to run my dialysis machine (TG!) while I cruise , it's just nice to have. "NICE" rhymes with "PRICE", they increase together...

I concur with all the above. Good call on the leak down test. Actually aside from that, only one decision needs to be made. Do I throw more money at it not knowing if the assend is good or not. Local former Beke dealer could probably do the compression test, but for a buck & a quarter an hour...

It seems I'm going to have to pull the head. I'm more than competent to rebuild this thing, but the head gasket is $131 & I have no idea if the other end works. Does not appear to be a Mitsi engine by the numbers cast in. Any final ideas, or how to test the gen? I have no access to an adapter...

Glow plugs Tks for all the input. As you can see , the plugs DO turn red Next ?

Yup. There's gray/white smoke but not much.

Update. Took out injectors. Gave cyls a drink . Both injectors spray a pattern. Might not be the optimum, but not a dribble or fire hose. Sounds healthier, but still not trying to start. Valves in proper sequence and have proper .010 gap Ok guys, have at it.

I have no story, but I have heard of airplanes using "slushing compound" for small leaks in fuel tanks.

Ya know, there's a rash around here of new owners of a craft business putting it up their nose. Typical pattern like yours.

Tks for the offers! I have it downloaded, but the troubleshooting part is not very helpful. I have checked everything I can except pulling injectors and while out rough check valve timing with a straw. That's tonite Here's what's strange- it is immaculate inside the head, but a careful...

My filter is mounted similar. I put a ziplock bag over the whole thing and unscrew it with the bag on it , then zip & heave

I have a Watertender, similar. In Baltimore MD. I'd consider selling

In the Navy, we had a high speed centrifuge, spun a tube that had to be cleaned manually every so many hours. Oil came out of engine, thru that and right back in. NO filters

I got no idea, but whoever made the tag can't spell
