Thx I’ll try that.

I did that today and the fuel ran freely out of the opened screws.

I'll check the day tank again and try to make a video next time we test it. Thanks for the help.

There is a new fuel filter installed and indeed a daytank. Before all the work on the engine this problem didn’t exist. Could this problem also be a valve adjustment problem? Or is fuel starvation the only option?

No noise it just comes to a slow stop. I can turn it over right away.

Hoi there, i've overhauled the engine last winter, new pistons, piston rings, one big end bearing and so on. Since then the motor starts perfect, runs perfect until half speed or so, but when running it just a little faster the engine comes to a stop after 5 to 6 minutes. First time I was afraid one of the pistons was stuck, but the engine starts just fine again after just a minute or so. Anyone any ideas what the problem might be and how to solve it? Thx in advance, Danny

Just let me dream of an easy solution;-)

No not yet, I'm currently blaming the oil I used, normally I have the Golden Film Classic SAE30 but it was a bit hard to order this time so I used Castrol classic XL SAE 30. Before I pull the engine apart for the thirty time I wanna change the oil first to the Golden Film. I could order it now but it will take till the first week of december to get here.

Yes that's a good point! 😉

Do you have a picture of the conversion?

This engine has been running without greasers for over 10 years, there seams to be no wear and tear on the rocker shafts. Are you sure this is necessary?

Ok thx I hope he has an answer.

I've made a little film today, so you can see the problem. There is not much smoke coming from the exhaust.

I think the smoke is coming from the top of the cylinder heads. I'll try and make a picture or film it, this week.

The valves have been taken out and polished and should be ok. But it makes sense what you are saying.
