Hi guys,
I have been on my tractor again the last few days. I have made new copper fuel lines and they don't leak anymore.
Unfortunately the glass bowls now drops a little bit..
I had to replace the membrame, because she ran a bit irregular.
Yesterday I drove a while for the second time since the conversion. After filling her up with some diesel at the gas station, she wouldn't start anymore...
Seems to be a low battery. We had to tow her home since starting cables and pulling her to start didn't work.
After a night at the battery charger, she started this afternoon like never before.
We will check if the alternator works well.
Is this a correct working temperature for a 590e? Seems a bit higher than an 4 cylinder. Or is it running hot?
After I started her this afternoon, she sounded like this. That's okay I guess? Or does it need some improvements? I noticed it holds back a little at full throttle.

During the run I got a little scary since the keeps holding in a bit. I guess it´s a little hard to see on this link.
On this link you hear a little high tone on the background..just if something holds her back. Does anybody has an idea of what or might be? I don´t know if it´s the engine or not.
Strange thing is she only runs 29 km-h (18 miles) at 2.100 - 2.200 rpm. I thought it would be a bit faster.

After the run she sounded like this (watch the exhaust weather cap moving).

May be I haven't cleaned the gas tank well enough? I'll check it this week.
I hope you can help me, guys.
