Installing liners on the 4-53T Silver build.

I follow the progress of your work with great interest. I run a 3-53T Silver in a forestry machine and the fuel controls does not give me satisfaction. Hope you will rebuild your governor and fuel controls. Great job and well done videos!

Thanks for your feedback. I need to see your going through your governor. The DD book is not all that clear and I appreciate your tricks and warnings. I have a DW LS governor and for any reasons works great when engine cold but after warm up if I rev the engine it will maintain idle at higher rpm...( guessing 1200). If I put it in gear rpm will go back to 600. Back in neutral if I rev it it will stay at 1200....looks like when hot there is something holding the governor to run freely.

I can't believe you don't have more subs

Will you now paint it silver? Or will it be classic alpine green again? Looks great! Looked up timing in my manual, after a certain serial number they all had advanced timing, but the vast majority look to have been built with standard timing. It should start easier with standard timing!

I might have missed this but what did you lube the crank with? Crisco? Assembly lube? The magical STP combo in the Royal Purple squirt bottle? :)

Care to share what manual you use. Is it downloadable. Thanks.

I didn't know these used wet sleeves.

Random question. Can you port these for improved performance? I mean, if people do port any two stroke diesels, I've never heard of it. I had a ported chainsaw... So obviously it would work.. But a ported two stroke diesel would be BA

Where did you buy your Engine overhaul kit from?
