They’re still out there, at least 20 series 71 and 92’s are listed for sale every week at Old Forge Power Products in Scranton PA and hundreds are listed elsewhere…..if you want to save them I’d suggest buying a few because when they don’t sell they go for scrap. The good news is even though they were pretty negligent in firing this one up it is likely still fine and a perfectly rebuildable core engine. As long as you don’t throw a rod or spin a bearing these can be rebuilt over and over again. In this case they did at least have it cranking long enough to build oil pressure before it ran off and it’s likely the bottom end survived since it was as still rolling over freely afterward.

Pull the valve covers, put a pair of vise-grips on the rack so you have control of the rack while starting. A Detroit of this vintage will have the older style rack (2 screws), even one hung injector will hold all the others at full fuel. Ditch the ether. Prime the fuel system by filling it thru the top of the secodary fuel filter (gravity) pr by using a small pump.

@zachzebra566 ай бұрын
When you go to start it after a while, take the valve covers off and make sure all 8 of the injectors racks move freely. These work just like the governor on the engine of a lawn mower. They are in full fuel when it's off and then move back to idle or full throttle when running. (Depending on the position of the throttle lever) The injectors can get stuck in full fuel. Leading to a runaway. Even if it's just one injector. If that engine ran like that for say about 5 minutes, it would seize up prematurely or worse, throw something out of the crankcase. So always make sure that the racks are free before starting if it's been sitting for a long time.

One day the driver was bringing it in the yard and we was just thought he was showing off in reality it was running away. He had a hard time getting it out of gear with the sloppy linkage and thrust against the gears. We tried putting hard cardboard over the air intake, but there was to many leaks in the piping. Lol!! She finally stopped. We think she was running on the oil buildup in the air box. We tore her down only thing we found was she stretched her conecting rods. Put her back together and she ran good till we sold her!! Good luck with that one!! Thank you for sharing!!

The biggest thing fooling with these engines is to have a big CO2 fire extinguisher disconnect the air intake on the supercharger you can if you get a runaway stick that horn into that intake and discharge it till it dies !

That was painful to watch. The most common cause of a runaway 2 stroke Detroit is a stuck injector, as many commenters have already said. But also a bad turbocharger with a leaky seal can cause an engine to runaway on crankcase oil leaking out of the turbo. On these Detroit engines a bad end seal in the blower rotors can also leak enough engine oil to cause a runaway, but that is very rare.
Only the weak run away from a runaway, enthusiasts run towards them. Only thing to worry about when a Detroit runs away is how much hearing lost will be induced!
