Cub Cadet Turbo Diesel Project - Part 2 - First Start of the Chinese Diesel

Fired up the Chinese 10hp Diesel as soon as I got it home and out of the crate. We got a runner!

[@firstnamehidden6514]

NEVER shut off the fuel and run dry to stop a diesel engine! You are causing damage to the injector, cavitation in the high pressure fuel pump and on down. A diesel needs to be fully primed with fuel at all times. Bubbles of air in the lines between pump and injector can act like a spring and prevent the injector break pressure to be achieved. No fuel to cylinder. Crank all you want. Learn to crack loose the injector line at the injector to let air come out and show when fuel shows up, then torque the line nut back to spec. Just like bleeding hydraulic brakes. Hold the compression release continuously whenever you are just trying to get fuel to the injector. BTW, a handstart on this and the smaller 6 HP Yanmar clones are purely cosmetic in nature unless fhe engine is already warm. Electric start is absolutely necessary IMO.

[@Rudofaux]

Thank you. This is basic knowledge but, it is surprisingly unknown to a vast number of people. As for the pull start. From my experience it is for emergency starting. Usually an engine is already mounted so you won't lose the kinetic energy to start from the engine bouncing around on you. But yeah, starter + battery > pull cord + frustration.

[@lickablestinkage7783]

the 2 seconds it runs without fuel probably isnt going to hurt it. Plus when you shut off the fuel, air dosent get into the lines, the fuel just stops flowing and remains stationary, no air bubbles form. Also its excactly how all large diesel engine shut off (cummins, powerstroke, etc) is by stopping the fuel flow.

[@loganyoutube4818]

“Should I prime it first?” “Nah just wear out the rings and the starter, it’ll prime eventually”

[@Monster404ftp]

That engine when initially cranking sounds like a rabbit squealing while a bell's going off lol.

[@flyingdutchman4794]

03:20 apparently making love to it works! :-) I've heard that Chinese small engines are good for 200 hours - German, Japanese, or US ones are good for 200 years. For purposes of this experiment, this one works swimmingly.

[@slrs3908]

You heard wrong.

[@HasnainKhan-qn2nf]

They are not that bad tho

[@parkersposts]

I've had my massey 7 from my grandpa that I fully restored with a 6hp diesel that's lasted 5 years now fine. Regular basic maintenance

[@shanehanna3829]

Nice way to wreck a starter

[@MittyNuke1]

I know you have more videos on this and that this is from 6+ years ago.... but for anyone else who is wondering, yes, this is set up for fixed RPM/generator use, but you can swap the throttle control mechanism out for the more standard throttle control with the hand wheel that lets you set the throttle in different positions. The thing you say is "some kind of idle solenoid" is just the governor setting bolt. The lever you have tied back with steel wire should have a latch which latches on when you push it all the way (run position), and then the other lever that you push down releases the latch (stop position). If you get a pair of pliers/channel locks, you can work that black cover off the governor setting bolt, then at least on the one I have, there is a threaded rubber cylinder that you can unscrew, then there are two nuts which you can loosen and then you can turn the whole bolt to set the engine speed. Use a laser or mechanical tachometer or just do it by sound (reflective tape wouldn't stick outside in the cold, lol), then tighten the two nuts, put the rubber thing back on, push the metal cover back over it, and then the engine will always run at that speed when you push the throttle latch in. The engine I purchased had come from a generator and I repurposed it for a wood chipper so I don't care that it's fixed RPM since that's basically what I want anyway, but you can find parts for these engines pretty cheap on ebay or even AliExpress if you want to put the typical throttle control back on it. But I have a feeling you solved this issue years ago either way, just sharing what I discovered in the past couple weeks with anyone else who is in a similar situation.

[@ufodude1000]

wow dude bolt that thing down wtf?

[@davidt2291]

No doubt only takes 30 seconds, damn.

[@bostoncopter2498]

WOW runs nice, good luck....

[@thshm2938]

This guy is the very definition of "not to do".

[@user-vp9wj3rn5b]

This was really hard to watch. The whole motor bouncing around and then just finally getting it started and it’s just sitting there at hella high rpm’s without a way to inspect and continue. Then you didn’t have hearing protection so I’m sure that chatter lasted a while after you got home

[@VictorButny]

You don't know how to start up that engine! :)

[@VictorButny]

Yes, indeed i am happy to see so many fools. He never ask how to. I just observed that.

[@jackattack01001]

I can only find the yellow ones and cant find any videos on them

[@user-hc3dr6mx2c]

Sounds like there is no oil in the engine 😂

[@jessemcbride226]

Checkout aliexpress they sell diesel engines shipped to your door, plus you van buy just one engine! Not cheap like $390 USD shipping included! But cheaper then Anywhere else!

[@numuzmar]

can you please give a link? found only with shipping cost like 600-900$

[@CharredSteak]

Did you end up deshimming the injection pump on here? noticing it barely smokes at all stock

[@michaela.660]

My God the detonation knock and vibration. My bet is it will hole a piston, shatter a piston or hammer the rod bearing (if it's got one) and sling the rod. Nothing about it sounds right. Looking forward to the future vids.

[@jackbird8343]

Michael Avery it's diesel it's the fuel knock this is completely normal for a single cylinder diesel...

[@slrs3908]

Maybe no one told you it was a diesel.?

This Diesel is meant to be run on load. The knock will be mostly gone. Moreover for cost and performance reasons smooth running requires some sort of flywheel mass which is here missing too. Did you every let a lawn mower run without the blades? Sounds terrible!

[@jetstream454]

It sounds exactly how a diesel single cylinder should sound

[@lotharengelmann8328]

Erster Start und sofort Vollgas... ob er das mit seinem Neuwagen aus so macht?

[@lorollinls]

hoppity hop lol

[@maniyan_wanagi]

That "garbage oil that comes in it" is break in oil. It's supposed to allow accelerated wear, and is supposed to be changed on an accelerated schedule. I laugh when people put synthetic oil in brand new engines, then wonder why they use oil.

[@slrs3908]

...and may never break in.

[@walterschilling4512]

Yes indeed, Use the proper non synthetic diesel oil to break the engine in.

[@kickstarter5168]

where is the turbo

[@Rudofaux]

The turbo is the friends we made along the way.

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Happy they're making diesel's this small. Can you turbo the 4.5 or 6 hp version?

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

I wouldn't see why not.

[@anythingthatmoves9609]

Don’t want it to run away

[@slrs3908]

I have seen diesels that were .030 ci for model airplanes. I have a few small ones. The smallest is .060 cu.in.

@@anythingthatmoves9609 When did you ever see a Diesel run away? This is so much FUD from the past. Any modern diesel and I am talking about the last 50 years, wont do that. The Diesels got their bad reputation from the semi-diesels hot bulb engines. And they are not even working according to the Diesel principle. So please inform yourself instead spreading hear-say.

[@anythingthatmoves9609]

Johann Höchtl well if the turbo is cheep and it may leak it will run off its own oil and “run away” that’s all I was saying

[@28ebdh3udnav]

I would like to put one of these on a boat to take out on the bay or rivers here in Texas.

[@jetstream454]

Who the fuck lets a diesel run dry? Like when was that ever a thing

[@maniyan_wanagi]

Brand new, won't idle, missing parts, and leaking fuel.......... yet people keep buying the junk.

[@slrs3908]

Diesels are run at the factory and to prevent air bubbles in the line, the compression nut at the cylinder / injector is loosened to bleed the air out. Once the engine is started, that nut needs to be tightened. Then it will stop leaking, and will idle, and...this guy doesn't have a clue. "Probably" nothing wrong with the engine. Back in the 60's people that didn't know any better referred to Japanese products the same way and assumed they were junk. All countries make some junk. Ours too.

[@MustangFastback]

What kind of torque do these things put out?

[@drivingmylifeaway7149]

slightly more than a 14 hp kohler

[@slrs3908]

about 50% more than a gas engine and much better gas mileage too.

Hey Fuel Injection Sucks, how much was the engine. And we’re did you buy it. eBay Or Alibaba.com from China. I asking this cuz the ones on eBay are like $600+ but the ones on alibaba are like $200+. And are way cheaper.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

Ebay. Alibaba you can have issues with customs, or having to pick the engines up right at the port.

[@michaelbenoit248]

@@FuelInjectionSucksSucks, yeah I was looking at Alibaba and I found one that is identical to the $600 one on eBay. Ok, so you had trouble getting one through Alibaba.

[@FuelInjectionSucks]

I personally have not, but I've heard stories. Either the EPA stopping it from coming in, and then are you are screwed, or you get a call telling you to pick it up at the port on the other side of the country.
