I need water injector help please
« on: September 30, 2021, 07:08:58 pm »
Hi folks
I got my water injector all cleaned out & hooked up as it was when received , but I cant seem to get it to work successfully yet , I made a short video of the operation & what I'm doing. any insight in this area would be greatly appreciated. I have the suction tube just shoved on , its snug but not super tight. it seemed like the first time I tried it ,it worked...but that was it.

Good stuff Nick , many things to try , it appears to be a learned knack as opposed to a straight forward process.

I’ve got two of those title turbines ordered too.  A company called baca bearing makes orsupplies lots of model bearings. I’ve dealt with them in the past. With success.those turbines have pretty small shafts.  I had tre finding couplers. I may ha to mak bushings to use the couplers I do have. Thy are model boat things but I don’t realy think they will hold up to the speed these little things make. I’m considering a gear box so I can make my own couplers.  Maybe a spring cooler or rubber tube might be betttrr. M actually planing on using these ss oil separators.   To strip oil out of the ar. Then have it go to a filter dryer. Something I can test out.    The order says at lease three weeks so it may be spring weather by then.LOL.

Looking at the color of the water in your site glass, maybe you should look into a sump pump. ;D
