Is the engine in the cab on that truck? That's gotta be a fatality, right?

They're sort of mid engined and you sit on the front end of the intake manifold. It's like an inline three on its side, similar to a Previa setup but smaller.

Root Bear posted:And finally: The right rear wheel well of a 2007 Ford Escape 4x4 with a clunking noise in the rear that sure sounded like a loose and/or broken shock mount. I failed a state inspection on an escape that had this issue. One of those rare times that you realize why a safety inspection can be a good thing.

One of my folks' UTVs has a knockoff off the Suzuki version (F8B) of one of those little 3-bangers. Runs great when the needle valve isn't stuck closed, keep meaning to get a better carb for it.

Platystemon posted:Now that’s a rotary engine. My favorite bit about the old rotary engines is that they didn't have a throttle. Just full-power the whole time they were running. In order to decrease power and land, pilots would turn the ignition on and off, which is why old WWI planes on landing go "BRAAAAPAPPAPPPAPvrrrrrrrrrrrr.....BRAPAPAAAvvrrrrrrrrrr......VRAPAPPBABPAPAPbrrrrrrrrrrrrr......." B4Ctom1 posted:There is a Bwoop sound when Anti Tank Guided Missiles and MANPADS missiles launch too. I doubt it is for the exact same reason. Shoulder-fired missiles are solid-fueled, so it's not a fuel turbopump, yeah. I can think of three things it might be though: 1) gyroscopic stabilizer spinning up 2) stirling cryo-cooler for an infrared seeker 3) reactant pump for the chemical battery that powers the launcher electronics

Anime Reference posted:They actually did, but since nothing on the engine was automated you had to adjust the fuel/air mixture by hand. That's obviously a really fiddly thing to try to do while also flying an airplane (especially a very primitive and fragile one), so once they were off the ground they used the blip switch instead. Adjusting the mixture isn't really a throttle, and most piston-engine planes (including like, every single-engine GA aircraft ever) has a manual mixture knob.

Exit Strategy posted:could also, depending on the launcher and design, be a kicker charge to send the missile free of the tube and get the launch crew clear of the main engine's thrust cone. It's basically this. I was told that the squeak heard on some, especially older russian, ATGMs is part of the procedure of a gas generator that expels the missile before the engine starts.

That's obviously a really fiddly thing to try to do while also flying an airplane (especially a very primitive and fragile one), so once they were off the ground they used the blip switch instead. Adjusting the mixture is pretty easy to do while flying. Even in a Cherokee with a mixture lever that is has 4 inches of travel and the first 3.5 do basically nothing. Even fuel injected aircraft still have manual mixture control. Only recently has automatic mixture control become available (Rotax 912 has had it for a while but took until the 912is that it didn't suck.)

You lean the mixture until the engine starts to lose power, then you back off a turn. It's not a big deal, actually. I'd rather manually lean my mixture than deal with some PMSing oval office in ATC.

Atmus posted:
Almost three years later, but I finally got the truck fixed. The big hitch in the whole thing was that whoever had the engine apart put one of the gears on wrong.  (not my engine) You see the gear pictured? How it goes dot to dot and Y to Y? On mine it was the opposite, so when I replaced the whole injection system it came out 180 degrees out of time. The engine will run in this condition, but smoke a lot and produce no power (seriously, it will need a running start to get over the curb into the driveway). The weather was good enough recently that I lifted the injection pump gear housing enough to disengage the gears and turned the crankshaft one complete turn to put it back in time. That and 6 hours on the charger, it started right up with no smoke.

I'm guessing they removed the gear when they did a rebuild or whatever and put the gear back on wrong since the alignment stud(s) still fit that way?

Metal Geir Skogul posted:B...but the marks are 180 apart. Shouldn't matter? The problem was that the injection gear (up top) had to come off, and when I put it back on, I put it Y to Y like is shown in the picture. Whichever roguish japester had my engine apart in the past didn't care and put it Y to dot, which is fine if and only if everyone else working on the engine is made aware of this. I was not, so essentially installed the injection pump 180 out, causing it to fire near TDC of the exhaust stroke and not the compression stroke. This engine (and possibly all diesels?) will run in this condition, but will give any coal-roller something to think about while producing about 1/20 of the rated power.

"Atmus" posted:I'm guessing they removed the gear when they did a rebuild or whatever and put the gear back on wrong since the alignment stud(s) still fit that way? The most common mistake people make is taking the gear cover and pump gear off when servicing the IP on these things. This is why you don't do it that way unless you mark the gear first. Joe Sixpack, i.e. the PO on most IDIs, sees those 2 bolts holding the cover on and figures that's the easy way to swap the IP, and another "gutless smoky IDI" story is born...

Glad I'm one step closer to driving this thing as even after giving most of it away for a couple years, I still have around 500 gallons of oil and I'm running out of space. I can't entirely blame Joe though. One of the nuts holding the IP to the housing always takes me longer than the whole rest of the operation put together. "1/12 turn with one wrench, 1/12 turn with other wrench, repeat until finger loose" sucks when kneeling on the radiator ridges. Matching Y to Y without removing exposing the gears like the picture wasn't as hard as everyone said it would be, but it wasn't as easy as I thought I could make it, either.

Cross-posting from the BMW thread. My lovely E21 that I got for basically free came with a "welded diff." I figured it would explode soon, but not so soon and not in my driveway. I went from doing sweet donuts to spinning one wheel yesterday, so I pulled the diff out and dumped out one of the spider gears and most of the teeth on the driver's side side gear. I already cut some plates out to join the side gears, so tomorrow morning I'll get in there with the die grinder and prep for welding.

Horrible electrical failures: our 240V Horror Fright welder no longer chooches. The owners of the rental property hosed up the garage wiring so there won't be 240 out there till we fix it. In the mean time, I threw a dryer plug on the end of an 8 gauge welder extension cord and tried to weld on the porch, no dice. My first thought was that maybe similar fuckery was going on in the dryer plug, because I have never plugged a dryer into it. Got the volt meter back out and triple checked both hot legs and the neutral, no problems there. Guess the little garbage welder has cobbled its last project.
