I just got a computer report back on my HPDI 225 and it had:

<1000rpm - 7.2 hours
1000-2000 - 0.2
2000-3000 - 0.8
3000-4000 - 3.4
4000-5000 - 0.1
5000-6000 - 0.0

Have I done something wrong in the break-in period? What should I do now?

Hey LearnedHat,
What seems to ba the problem ?
Capjun

Nothing - just trying to break her in right. Someone told me I needed to start getting it a little hotter. I've actually been all out a few times - but just for short stretches.

Can I put Quicklean (sp?) in my HPDI or do I have to use ring free? Seems everywhere I go has Quicksilver products.

Capjun,
Have a Johnson 35, 72 model
yesterday it seemed to log down and then just stopped, acted like no fuel, bulb was solid and, screen was clean, started after sitting a few mins, stopped again a few min later, again, rested and it started running again.....
Is it a big job to clean this carb ?

Capjun,
Sorry, keeping in mind I am a one handed 71 year old, needing my wife to keep me on the streight and narrow.

Capjun, WillieFindum here,
My partner Jon is going to email pic of 89 flywheel tomarrow 02/16/05. I will call you tomarrow afternoon after he has emailed them.

howdy capjun, last month you said to check the fuel recirculation [ line or chamber ] don't remember witch on my 83 johnson gt 150. i found my manule but cant find anything about fuel recirculation. thanx for the help then and any help now.

Hey LearnedHat,
Looks real good to me. You've got some time on the engine now, I wouldn't be afraid to to let her run full throttle, in short bursts. Your doing it right !
In " my " opinion, quick clean, and ring free are the same, BUT, to be on safe side, run what the manufacture calls for.
Have fun with your new rig !
Hope this helps,
Capjun

Hey Hooker,
Not really. If you can remember how you take it apart, then you can put it back together in reverse. I suggest a carburetor dip. Berrymans makes a 1 gallon carb dip, with a basket, for about $ 20.00. Don't remove the welch plugs, (pressed in aluminum domes). You can also get a repair manual for about $35.00 that will cover this and many other repairs.
If you have any questions, please call me @ 817-832-2526. If not, call me anyway. I'd like to hear how you are doing !
Hope this helps,
Capjun

Hey WillieFindum,
I got the pictures you sent, and will find you a flywheel in the morning. If you don't hear from me, please call me so I won't forget
Capjun

Hey culeoka,
Look under each carburetor, you will see several small fuel hoses. These are the recirc system. Give me a call, I'll explain how to check them. 817-832-2526
Capjun

Thanks capjun! You're a great resource on the site, I hope it leads to business for you.

thanx man

howdy capjun - my ohmmeter peged out when i checked my primer solenoid on my 83 johnson 150 gt. do i need to disconnect the solenoid wireing before i perform the ohm test?
if it went bad open, i guss it could couse flooding
thanx

Hey culeoka,
When you activate the primer with the key switch,( pushing it in ), it sends 12 volts DC to the solenoid. If it shorts closed, when you turn the key on, the primer solenoid will activate.
Set your volt/ohm meter to 20 vdc. With key switch on, connect the black test lead to ground, and the red test lead to the primer solenoid,( I think it's purple with a white strip ). You should get NO voltage. Have someone push in the key switch to activate the primer. You should get 12 vdc.
Also, the red lever on the primer solenoid should be facing the center.
Hope this helps,
Capjun
