Sarcasm, yes. Hostility, really? Read my thread and yours. Which seems more hostile? Wasn't gonna comment on here to derail Taco's thread, but felt inclined to. (Not commenting about it anymore here). Responded to your PM last night as well, Jonathon. I'm here to shoot the breeze about Cubs, especially smokers.

Tacosteeler,
I'm really glad you were able to get the smoker going. My 1512 is one of my favorites. Won't be long and you'll be looking for another.

Since were off subject a little. Enjoy.

Ha I don't doubt it, my diesel craze started when I put a Yanmar on my original. It was a lot of fun to fire it up and listen as she "knocks a lot" which is also what I named that CCO.

I have a few vids on You tube of it running. Wanna see some funny sh!t, watch how I start the Yanmar. I will try to post a link. Check em out. Don't forget to turn up the sound. You'll love it.

Cool.
I've watched that Youtube video before and thought it was a cool idea and neat mod. Of course, didn't know it was yours. Nice job on the O conversion. So I guess this is your second smoker then.

I really like the vid of the cub idling along by itself. Hadn't seen that one before. You'll have to start a thread over in the General Section with some more pics of the O. I know I'm interested. BTW, I apologize for the thread derail.

Great videos. Love the ingenuity of camera placements and starting it. Watch out for the safety police. I did see a couple of infractions

Here is a close up of the idle screw. The spring rides onto the end of the rack on the pump.

Thanks guys. Yeah I documented the whole mod. I will work on getting it up.

I'm not worried about a derailing, would like to see it put behind us though. Over n done.

The safety police would stone me for those vids. Lol, maybe we can keep it on the DL.

Ok I see, will have to keep that in mind.

Tacosteelerman, just to let you know, if the rack moves to the right as viewed in the pic, that is the more fuel direction. The shut off lever pushes the rack towards the left, or less, and or no fuel. If you turn the screw in, or clockwise that will put more spring pressure towards the more fuel direction. Mine is turned in and I can make it put out a considerable amount of smoke under heavy loads but nothing noticeable during light loads. I also use a relay to power the glow plugs to take the high amp load off of the ignition switch. Hope this helps and not confuses.

Yes that does make sence. For the short time I ran the 1512 it did smoke under a heavy load. I still have to complete my glow plug conversion with the relay.
