P1000 Fuel in the exhaust

[Jerryg]

Yea I don’t know. Hopefully the mechanic figures it out fairly quick. I put a timing gun on the wires that are on the spark plug and the wires have full power and are firing. I don’t get it. All I could say is maybe stuck injector or no compression because I find it hard to believe that water is in the fuel still with a bottle and a half of heet poured in two different batches of fuel. If there was that much water I’d say both cylinders would have gone out.

Isn't that bottle of Heet made for a 20 gallon tank? That sounds like way too much. If there is water in there you would see tiny little bubbles on the wet spark plugs. Not sure if that engine would run on all that alcohol. I would say fresh gas, no Heet.

Your fuel injection enriches the mixture depending on the temperature and how long it takes for the engine to warm up. Carbureted equipped engines have either a manual or automatic choke which does the same thing. From looking at your avatar, you're located in Michigan and I'm guessing it's quite cold there like where I'm located. Continually running it cold with other issues may wash a cylinder down, trashing your engine. I'd get off the computer and call someone knowledgable who can make needied repairs.

Yes. The first time I put in 1/3 a bottle to the tank because it’s a 7 gal tank. Then the second go around I did the 2/3 bottle. Then todays was around 1/3. They don’t have a scale on the side so I don’t know but regardless it ran today for 20 min with about a 1/3 of the bottle with around 2-3 gal of gas and the firing cylinder was running fine. The other cylinder still nothing.
I didn’t see any bubbles on the spark plug. Just fresh gas.

It’s already going in repair dealership on Tuesday. I’m done.

Make sure to have the oil changed considering how rich it's running

Yep told them to do all fluids and filters because I’m sure that oil pan is mixed with gas from that cylinder just washing the plug with gas and shooting it out the exhaust pipe

I can't imagine that you have so little compression in that one cylinder, but it's starting to sound like it.

Yep I think that’s what it has to be. Stuck ring most likely
or sand in cylinder but can’t believe it’s that because seems like the last time
I ran it I would have heard and felt the machine acting differently and it wasn’t.

I was thinking maybe cracked piston, if you say there was water in the fuel.

How would water crack a piston?

How would water crack a piston?

We used to see it alot with pressure washers. A little water in a running engine and poof. The top of the piston will look clean and new and the piston will crack at the edge exposing the top ring.

did your shop get a chance to look at?

Took it in yesterday. They said they’re we’re gonna start looking at it yesterday but never received a call back so not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing

 

[Fordpickupjaybird2003]

So just received the call. So sounds like compressions good. Spark is good which I knew. Plugs were good like I knew. Fuel was good. The forward injector is firing the first round of fuel but it’s not shutting down after that so it’s flooding the cylinder. He says it’s a faulty injector but I questioned them that is it a faulty injector that’s staying stuck open or is it faulty for whatever is controlling the injector and it’s not shutting power off when it’s suppose to. He didn’t have an answer and had to talk to the tech. Hopefully it’s just an injector because the bill right now is $500. Oil was way more than it was suppose to be because it was full of gas from the cylinder flooding. Hopefully that’s it. Fingers crossed.

Thats pretty cool, I wish the PE division did more hands on stuff.

Who is ur dealer?
Where bouts u located in our Big Gretch controlled Once great state?

good news on the compression....

thanks for the update

Cc sports. I just puked in my mouth from hearing her name. I’m in howell mi.

Yeah shes a real peach huh? They dont call her Strechen Gretchen for nothin! 🤣 Nasty women! I think Women🤔🥳

C&C in Brighton. Yup, tried to make a deal with them a few times wasn't impressed. Havent heard great things about service either. That was some time ago tho. Hope it all works out for you.

Im in Stockbridge twp.
