marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Thank You! For Proving Me Correct! Along with Others Here. Experience!

I'am very happy you discovered the Problems!

P.S. That drilled oil plug I recommended earlier, would have lubed that eccentric and prevented it from 'Running-Dry'. About that eccentric...I run a Electric Fuel Pump, while reassembling the Engine from a rebuild, I had a thought, maybe I could Leave it Off...I decided to leave it On, because it is 'Suppose' to be in that Position.

'If' I Had Left it Off, it would be: Because-OfCourse...the eccentric is Mechanically Off-Center, and therefore 'Out-of Balance' to rest of the Engine. How much of a Possible Vibration are We feeling? Has anyone Here rebuilt their Engine and Left the Fuel Pump Eccentric OFF? Don't mean to hi-jack the thread...but we were on the subject.
