stopping an engine from shaking whilst running

hi what can i do to stop pink ladys duetz shaking all over the place, its on a 4 wheeled trolley and shaking alot on the axles

Make sure it is level

chock the wheels

increase the speed a little so it is smooth

try Strapping the front and back wheels together with a bungee rope



Or failing all that stick it in your lorry and fetch it northwards for me to play with

Buy the sound of it I would say the timing was out on it, or tappets to tight.
You can get Diesels to run nice and smooth

cause on the concreate it runs sweet on grass it goes nuts

That is strange its normaly the other way round, try fitting rubber tyres see if that helps.
Or you fit it on Rubber mouintins.

Thare is your answer then

If it is ok on concrete ( it looked steady in the video )
then the grass must not have been level
Make sure it is level and then place some squaure pieces of plywood under each wheel to stop it sinking in the damp Cornish earth .



If that dont work I will drive to Carnon downs and take it away for you

Answer is: Sell it to me! Problem solved :bartmoonie:

i have had about 4 people say they want this engine, she ran all weekend didnt even had to fill the tank, an amazing engine, i strapped the wheels together in the end, worked a treat

What did you expect it is a German engine they are excellent enginers

you need to reduce the amount of slogger the trolley has, things like loose wheels and mounting brackets amplify vibration, and sometimes reducing speed can help, but not soo much that it starts to lump.
