Dude Ive been watching your videos like a crack fiend. I just got a 186f I'm planning on putting on a motorcycle to shoot back and forth to work. I'll be doing the build on my channel.
So you’re a fellow buffalonian, nice to see. I too have built myself a diesel powered snow blower from the same engine, a 186F. I am wondering where you tapped into for your oil pressure gauge as I’m considering adding a small turbo to my engine and need a way to tap into the pressurized oil to supply the turbo.
Serious question... I don't understand why priming the injector is difficult. Can't you just hold down the decompression lever and spin the electric starter for a little while until the diesel fills the line? Am i missing something?
@@MrKweezy2 You’re right on with the priming process. For whatever reason, it takes about 5 minutes to actually get a good prime this way. Not difficult, but long enough to be annoying.
@@haoleboyshow-tos2279 Understandable! Do you know if you can run no shims at all? Or take the shims also used as the gasket? Mine came with 2 thick shims and removing one helped, but it's still smoky.
@@MrKweezy2 I’m in the same boat. She still smokes after removing the thin shim. I tried putting the thin shim in and removing the thick one, and it ran like garbage.
I understand man. I'm just working on building this 186f motorcycle and this is my first diesel, this is my first motorcycle build and my first hybrid build. So this is all new to me.
@@TACOMASRT5 That’s pretty ambitious, but I’ll answer whatever questions. I would recommend looking for resources with the go kart folks. A diesel and torque converter setup is probably more common in those projects.

Glad you’re enjoying.
I’m planning to turbocharge this thing, so stay tuned. A turbo/intercooled 186F on a bike would be hammer.
How much boost can they handle?
@@TACOMASRT5 I have no idea. That’s why I want to find out. All the information I have seen has been anecdotal. My goal is 5 psi to start.
I just put a 186FA on a log splitter. I want to try to limit the diesel exhaust factor and this seems promising.
Yes, it definitely helps clear out some of the fumes. Running at a higher RPM also cleans it up even more.
very nice video, thanks for the tips.
Thanks, hope it was informative.

Cool, I saw your vid. I’m eyeing a turbo for my setup as well You can see where my oil pressure gauge plugs in at 1:59.
Do you have a link to the tachometer you use?
Saw you had it linked.

Are you on Facebook or is there a way i can contact you directly?
I’d prefer not if it’s all the same to you.

Links please
I added the sensors I used to the description. Most of the stuff I used to adapt the tach was custom though.
My plan is to install a torque converter
That would probably work well. It has a standard mounting bolt pattern.
