    Kubota V1702 engine - Is 200-250 PSI too low compression to run?

    Problem is that IF your engine has a GLOW PLUG even gasoline WILL detonate well before TDC, leading to the same issues as using ether. Although it may not be as big a problem. The best practice is to use WD-40 which is a very light oil. This has been the way to for more years than I can...

    NEW BUYER IN TENNESSEE AND NEED OPINIONS

    Kubota V1702 engine - Is 200-250 PSI too low compression to run?

    I Went To Purchase A New Mini-Excavator And This Happened.....

    Having worked a new car dealership, a 'new' car that's been demoed is considered a new car since it's never been titled. I'm thinking the dirt on the machine may be rain that dried prior to delivery.

    Ford Recalling Super Duty Pickups, Issues 'Do Not Drive' Warning for Brakes That Can Suddenly Fail

    Gotta be really careful of leaks in the AC lines. I remember those days. Since propane has a much lower boil point you get much colder AC. Gotta watch out for leaks.

    trail clearing technique and tools

    Det cord and c4 worked really great for moving jungle back, way back when. I mean really really great. Other than the loud noise, it's safer than anything I would do to drop that with out having some heavy equipment. :ROFLMAO:
