      I don't even remember what it was all about. hmmm

      So far as I know Hal is the only one able to inflict sanctions, so if you have been needlessly standing in a corner you can come out now.

      It's all good. laugh

        What did you learn from this experience?

          In 1998 Harbor Freight was selling reconditioned Ryobi four-stroke string trimmers. I bought one, and have since gone through six different attachments. I use it and abuse it. I run a leaf blower, edger, string trimmer, and saw blade. It runs upside down perfectly. I change the oil in the power head once a year (about 1/2 pint). Changed the spark plug for the first time two years ago. I would buy another four-stroke in a heartbeat.

              This site is getting squirrely again.

              Time for a tune-up Hal.

                Grey smoke is unburned fuel from incomplete combustion.

                Most noticeable during cold starts Black smoke comes from

                two different scenarios: 1) too much fuel for a given amount

                of combustion air. 2) Not enough combustion air to support

                a given amount of fuel.

                I suggest you first check to make sure your air filter is clean

                and unrestricted (that is probably okay since we are only dealing

                with one cylinder). Do a compression or leak down test on all

                cylinders – remove all injectors when performing this test.

                You say all the injectors tested good, what does the test report

                reveal?

                  I can only read parts of your post due to space constraints,

                  maybe someone else can read it.

                  So I'm not really sure if you have a problem with your

                  machinery, are making an inquiry, or just want to chat.

                  Is there something specific someone can help you with?

                  Where are you located?

                    Actually, at one point I was considering taking the motors, pump, and controls out of my skid steer and installing them in the Yuchai dozer, but common sense prevailed as there would be no market value to it and the Yuchai dozer audience is very limited.

                      Curious where you heard the rumor. To my knowledge Yuchai has no plans to make their “loaders” hydrostatic drive. They are building them just as they inherited them from Guilin, the original manufacturer, but are making subtle improvements as they go.

                      What are you referring to as “the little Yuchai loader”? The YCT crawler? Yuchai does make construction machinery with hydrostatic drives, ie: all of their excavators have hydrostatic drives.

                      There is another crawler dozer/loader in the import market. Not sure if it's available in the US yet, or if it's priced competitively with Yuchai, but it knocks Yuchai out of the game as far as I'm concerned.

                       

                      There is a patented hydrostatic drive system already available on the market that has been used in all kinds of machinery including loaders and dozers.
