I've also got a video from the outside. I think next up will be brakes and clutch -- no pressure in the hydraulic system for either -- because it'd be great to at least pull the thing out of the garage under its own power! |
Idle speed should be 700–800 rpm set with a warm engine (80ºC).
Before you should check the vacuum chamber of the governor, that should be air tight, otherwise your engine will be smokey and it will consume more diesel.
If the engine does not come up to maximum speed, the governor spring might have to be replaced. This happens sometimes if the engine has not been started for a long time and the governor is in the stop position.
