If I duplicate the iron flywheel in aluminum 1:1 it will still be pretty heavy compared to what you’d use on a gas engine, and will keep the engine’s power pulses smooth enough, but it’ll be half the weight, so it’ll rev from 0-3800 in 2/3 the time. Still need to get a lighter primary spring, maybe even lower weights, on the primary clutch to get it to start hooking up at closer to 1100 instead of 2500 haha.
@@THESLlCK itll still pull onto two wheels with much tall gears, itll actually pull up at faster speeds too has more to do with engine placement than the power im sure a 5hpbriggs could pop that cart up with 130lbs hangin behind the axle they could almost go direct drive maybe 1.66 or so would be ideal have to just experiment and find a balanced ratio
They shouldn't be changing the gearing after the torque converter that's slipping. Gear it up before the torque converter to make the diesel's output more like a petrol engine that the torque converter is built for.
No, that's actually how you balance a flywheel in a cheap agricultural motor inn Chinese factories. You use a die grinder to remove a little material from the heavier side.
@@tacomas9602 it releases a part of the compression only on the first stroke so you can pull start it easier. After the first rotation it disengages automatically.
I bet you will actually be happier with a heavier one than a lighter one ...diesels are about low RPM tq. Leave the heavy flywheel and reliable idle, work with the engagement on the variable drive clutch and gearing. Also find a reasonable project for that .....put a hydrostatic pump on it and do an all wheel drive or track driven crawler.......
Try a light weight flywheel if you want. I'd be concerned due to the high compression ratio and the lighter flywheel lack of momentum. Also due to the torque, diesel engines do their work at low RPMs.
I had a super fun ideal! put a differential on the rear axle and then put separate brakes on each wheel, this will allow you to control and steer the cart while doing wheelies!
If you don't know the torque of a bolt / nut. Befor you take it off have your torque wrench set to tighten on a low torque number. Tighten it a little and set the number up a little higher each time until it tightens a little. And what number pounds it starts to tighten at should give a good ideal of what torque specs to reinstall it to.
Get some collets for the mill. Applying lateral cutting forces to a drill chuck like that is a great way to break your drill chuck, end mill, and workpiece. CDCO tools makes great tooling for that mill that is very affordable. I have hundreds of dollars of their stuff (dozens of items) and I'm pleased with everything I've received.
Hey Guys, I don't know if someone has already mentioned it , but these diesels are a Chinese copy of a Yanmar diesel. Most parts are interchangeable which should help if you need spares. They also had a tendency to "run away" by running on their own oil when they get hot and a bit worn. There should be a small crankcase breather under the rocker cover that vents directly into the intake port, that need to be altered to solve it. Shop where I use to work had these engines.
Currently watching the video lads here in Ireland. Great as always. I'm no expert but just a thought on the lightened flywheel idea - I always thought that diesels need a seemingly overly heavy flywheel to help with momentum because of having such big compression ratios ie 19:1? Just a thought.... Great stuff lads
Hey guys, machinist here. Please use collets when milling, most drill chucks are pressed onto a taper since all they see is vertical load while drilling. So the side load or horizontal load you create while milling causes the drill chuck to slowly walk out of that taper, either injuring you or destroying your part. Be safe 🤘
It definitely needs a higher quality flywheel though. Aluminum is just the next lighter, next stronger option. With as porous as that casting is, I wouldn’t want to stand next to it running anything over idle. You’ll likely not lose significant amounts of mass by switching to solid aluminum, but you’ll get a far more homogenous and solid metal than that pot metal claymore
It's a bummer about the lack of replacement parts, but man you had me rolling when John started doing a pierroette in the diesel cart. The torque is there, just getting it to the pavement in the proper ratio
D Lemmer ID'd their Chinisium Diesel Engine as a clone of a Yanmar L100, so they could use parts, both OEM and aftermarket parts for that motor. There should also be a lot of ways to soup up or otherwise modify a Yanmar L100 as well as useful specifications on UA-cam and around the Internet.
Gentlemen, that diesel is not going to like more rpm, it will like getting lugged though. I think you're on the wrong track getting it to rev higher. If you want higher speeds then much taller gearing and taller tires should be your aim! Thanks for the video though guys. That reveal shot with the 1 light on was super cool!
@ 6:43 This is the first time I've heard Isaac say, "It'll Be Fine" without conviction. "It'll Be Fine...right?". It took a cheap diesel to make that happen.
Can I just say I enjoy watching yall. I dont get the hate people bring. Neither of you claim to be experts. Yall just have fun and enjoy tinkering with these things.
Yes! I love when you have no plan and just wing it. Feels like some of your earlier videos where you flew by seam of your pants most of the time on a shoestring budget lol. Awesome build so far!
The fuel ratio adjustment is at the bottom of the injector pump on the side of the engine, unbolt the silver cover, as i recall right is rich left is lean.
Why is thumbs down even an option ??? Who TF thumbs down this video and why ? These guys are awesome, they are fun and share cool stuff.. what's not to like. Great video Thank you for taking the time to share all your cool builds.
Love it, love the projects. This is the type of thing we did as young guys around 12 years old trying to hot rod our hand me down mini bikes. My favorite had an old Tecumseh 6.5 or 7.5 not sure. (This was back in 1984 or so). The difference is you guys are doing it knowing how to actually weld and have enough scratch to buy parts etc. ….Nobody can get on a minibike or go-kart without a huge grin on there face.
The flywheel on it is already literal crap as they said, so it technically needs to go before it quite literally explodes because of too much RPM on it.
What does the charging system have to do with the weight of the flywheel? If I were to reproduce the flywheel in aluminum I would retain the factory rotor. But as stated by Timtee, the original casting is junk, with as porous as the machined surface is I’d be afraid to stand near that thing at anything over idle.
These engines are VERY over square for a diesel, around 1.2 bore/stroke ratio. That along with their high compression lets them make decent power at higher revs. Some performance diesels can make peak power around 5k and rev even higher yet. There's a de-stroked duramax drag truck that revs to 8k
If you could figure out gearing to reach the speed limit. You could put it on the street legal golf cart and also use it as a recovery vehicle. Something heavy that takes advantage of the diesel torque.
@@thedude7726 he would be the better choice. Ave is smart but shipping across the border something that heavy would get expensive and he isnt the type to do collabs
Justin Lott typically runaways only happen when the oil seals on the cold side of a turbo let go. This being N/A it would be very unlikely for that to happen.
@@NellisNelson not entirely true the valves seals can do it as well as the piston rings if you tip it to to extreme of an angle it may not drain the oil back from the valve cover causing it to pool around the valve seals leaking oil into the air intake causing the runaway (Volkswagen 1.5l,1.6l engines would run away this way (yes na engines) the fix was a baffle placed in the valve cover to redirect the oil to the drain holes) and the rings could leak oil past if tilted too far
Valve seats and rings, but the biggest things on these engines is the crankcase vent tube that runs to the intake. Putting this engine on funny angles fills the vent line, and they run off
I really like this one cause its different...and glad people already offering to help (we need videos from them too if so) Reality these days all you need is a 3d printer + Scrap + foundry (can be done at home, but centrifugal casting is best for flywheels etc if not from billet) and that is a whole episode or two :) Your in the US where access to materials/skills/professional help is by far easier to acquire and for cheaper than a lot of the rest of the world, shit i would save 1000's of dollars a year if i didn't have to pay exchange rate/customs/shipping for parts for stuff not available locally. So work hard, play hard and learn new skills while your at it
If you get a lightweight flywheel for it it's going to shake and vibrate a lot more, diesels usually have rather heavy flywheels to help smooth out running vibrations
I like it but add some weight up front to cut back on the wheelies and put a wheelie bar on the back to better control them if it does wheelie. Ask Isaac to most more about his car and the battery box etc. he was burning out in his garage the other day.
Naturally asperated diesels are dogs. Due to the low vacuum of a running diesel its hard for them to suck enough air in for combustion (rolling coal) you can forget about any considerable power. Slap a small Ebay turbo on there, turn the fuel pump up and you'll see a considerable change in power and torque.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but if it is a true diesel engine then it doesn't meter or control air flow. The amount of power and speed of the engine is completely based on how much fuel is being injected. Better air flow always helps, but if you want to make more power you need to figure out how to increase fuel delivery.
Run a overdrive sprocket setup to a jackshaft and run the convertor off the jackshaft, that will fix the engagement issue and allow you to use off the shelf parts if they don't have a low enough tension spring.
You can cut the flywheel up and only use the inner part where the magnets are. U won’t have an Electric start anymore but could rig up a pull start. It’s a diesel, it actually runs better with a heavy flywheel.
