well everything is dry , there is a shut off valve between the tank and the sediment filter when I got it reved up and the bubbles are a flying I shut off the valve and the bubbles stop quickly, so I was thinkin it has to be sucking air from around the valve shut off stem. I took the valve out and I am still getting the air, still running fine. no leaks . I am stumped. Could there be something in the tank with the way it circulates that is doing this?
Yea I was thinking how it would be possible not to have a pressure leak and have a vacuum leak hummm . I am going to look at it this morning and see if there is any leakage anywhere, from a over night sit.
well I put a glass bowl sediment filter on it off a 8n ford on it( half again bigger than the briggs filter that I had put on it) and at a idle all looks good 1/2 throttle some it looks like air bubbles start circling from top to bottom and at WOT it looks like a spa with the air jets wide open, but it runs just fine. May be that is why it did not have one from the factory , I will look at the way the excess fuel is taken back to the tank.
ok I will try a bigger glass bowl filter and I think hopefully that will slow down the flow turbulence. (well I guess that is what it is)
Hea Bob can you have to much turbulence in a glass bowl fuel filter to make it ineffective . The one I put on my small 20 hp is much more active(like a washing machine) than the fuel filter on my 50 hp. It spins the fuel around so much I would think it would break up any particulate or put water in solution until it made it small enough to pass thru. But there is one more screen and the spin-on filter to the engine side of this one. I would like to catch any water here. should I try to rubber mount it and see if vibration is some of the issue?
You need to figure out why the water is getting into the tank if it is simple condensation a full fuel tank will solve it and maybe a change in where you park it. But it is water getting in from another source that will need to be found, I have seen the vent hole in the cap let in water from a person who was nuts about extreme washing his real expensive zero turn. Is it parked under a roof? or outside? does it have a fuel bowl ? is water showing up in it? if no fuel bowl empty out the spin on filter and check it for water. But surface rust can happen with high humidity on freshly cleaned steel.
you never know maybe it ended up in the spam file, I have had inquires end up there. Which when using a business link to contact why would it route it there? but oh well.
not to bring this to this forum but have we not seen recently rudeness across a lot of society, it seems kinda like internet trolling is expanding where very few know how to be courteous.
yeah I saw Bob was watching this and I wanted his thoughts , I wonder about the Jinma , the brakes on my foton wet brakes and dong feng dry band brakes both are pretty good. Do the brakes help with turning tight turns if you unlock the pedals in two wheel drive? Some do not know you pretty much defeat using the brakes in turning in front wheel drive assist (4 wheel drive) mode.
