AI Thread Summary
The Honda GX 35 engine is experiencing excessive pressure during the compression stroke, causing failures in the threads of the pull rope mechanism's cup-shaped component. This issue is attributed to the crankshaft's hard material, which exacerbates the problem. A suggestion to alleviate the situation includes ensuring the engine is fully broken in, as new rings can increase friction and stress on the recoil starter. Recommendations include loosening the spark plug slightly during startup or adding two-cycle oil to the fuel for smoother operation. Addressing these points may help resolve the pressure-related issues with the engine.

this engine is basically the part of supermileage vehicle which is being made by a team of DELHI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING to participate in Shell Eco Marathon, Malaysia.
Due to some reason, we are getting a higher value of pressure in compression stroke which is continously leading to the failure of threads of the cup shaped component which is itself a part of pull rope mechanism. And the reason behind this is the harder material of the crankshaft and so its threads at the pull rope sided end.
Kindly comment on this situation and help me to find the solution.
thank you.

Ankitsingh:
The problem you are having is likely due to the engine not being fully broken in.
New rings create additional friction to the compression stroke thus adding stress
to the recoil starter mechanism. You might try starting with the plug loosened
slightly; then tighten once running,or adding a ounce of 2cycle oil to one tank
of fuel until the engine is fully broken in might also help.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
