D-200

Hey all, 

 

I've got a D-200 I want to get running to test the hydro,  engine etc.... it doesn't have a carb or intake elbow on it (didn't come with one when I bought it).

 

Can I install a carb from a 417 (or similar)  to get it running or do I need to get the intake elbow so I can hook up the governor tube as well?

 

Thanks

Tyson

I’d say for troubleshooting purpose you’d be just fine…. Even with no governor hooked up.  Just don’t let it run away.

This is the 'elbow' that you would mount the air cleaner? You do have the manifold? If so, sure most anything will work to allow a 'down & dirty' check of the engine. I've taken a plastic bottle - water/pop, etc and poke a small hole in the cap and dribble fuel in, also, while WD40 aint good for very much, it will run an engine pretty well for a ck (lot better'n 'starter fluid, that stuff is .... not good)

 

Sounds like you have going at a 'new' purchase similar to me - I like to determine - as much as possible - what/where to start. If engine starts/runs/dont knock/ sounds pretty good then go to the drive train and see if all that seems to function, If either one of these is -- iffy? then start there.....
