Who even suggested, that either myself or this guy on the video was smarter than you? I think you'll find that you made that up all by yourself. I frankly don't care how many years of experience you have, does it mean you know everything there is to know about every type of engine? You know what, I was lucky to find this video because I don't know anything about engines, really. That is why I came to this forum to ask experienced people what the cause could be. I work in IT and know all about giving details and I repeat, I gave the model number AND link to the manual to the exact engine. Not sure what else I could have given you?
I will certainly be on my way and hope that this thread helps someone else trying to diagnose the same engine.
Yannic you did not give the model number and the owners handbook that covers over 100 engine variations is NOT A MANUAL
To put it in computer terms it is like saying you have an Apple I-Mac and expecting us to know which one of the 74 different variation you have
And that should have been 100% obvious by the fact the owners handbook lists 4 different models with 3 different engine capacities right there on the front cover .
Forums are like computers .
What you get out of them is a direct result of the data you put in
Input trash or incomplete data and you get rubbish results.
You were asked for the data that we needed and came back with the arrogant response that you gave us the model number & manual where as you gave us the SERIES number & running instructions.
The real MANUAL for your engine is around 200 pages of English not 4 pages of pictograms .
Your attitude rather reminds me of the IT consultants that Allied Couriers brought in to upgrade & consolidate their computer systems , which were a mess of different suppliers products that did not directly communicate with each other in real time .
They came in on Monday morning, sat next to a despatcher for 15 minutes , sat next to booker for about 5 minutes then spent an hour with accounts .
As they were leaving I asked when they would be back again.
"We have seen all we need to know" was the answer , which floored just about everyone .
They came back around a fourtnight , on Thusrday night & installed the new softwear, checked it was working then came back Friday morning at 10 am , the system failed at 12 noon, totally overwhelmed so we had to drag in a dozen drivers to man phones & write out job tickets , they had no idea that Monday morning was the quietist P to P time as the bulk of the work Monday morning was overnight deliveries .
So when Friday came around & jobs started coming in at 12,000 and hour their really cleaver upgrade fell over .
I asked them why they decided to go live on the busiest day of the week at the end of the month which is also more busy and they replied "so it could be tweaked over the weekend if needed " and continues with "you never told us that volumes varied on weekly & mounthly cycles, you should have had us here at the busiest time not the quietists time "
That one afternoon cost Allied over $ 1,000,000 in direct losses and countless more with the customers who switched to another carrier .
And don't ask me about Microsloth Monkeys & NAVS
If the EXPERTS ask you for the numbers then the answer is "Where would I find them " not " I gave you all the information you need & even linked to the manual "
. I want to reiterate that the purpose of the video was not show anyone here how to suck eggs, it was to show you the engine I have and the mechanisms of how it operates. I like visuals as it helps me so was just trying to give everyone a visual, not to pay attention of what this guys was really talking about.
