Kubota D950 questions

Is there a way to safely attain more rpm out of the lil engine?
All the data I can find states 2600-2800 rpm max.

Im looking for 3300-3600 rpm if its possible.I have a yanmar that turns 3200 on my tractor.
Also looking at tge G15 turbos and running 5-7 psi

Re: Tachometer options

very nice.

Intresting that it picks up its readings from the fuel injector line.I wonder if something like that can be made.


Thank You

Happy to report The engine is in the boat and I really loaded the engine today. I put the boat in the water running it against the warf at full throttle............People nearby thought the boat was on fire.It was cool to see a boat roll coal. If I run the engine at lowspeeds such as a no wake zone ...

Re: 186f (Yanmar L100 clone) performance mods

Since we are talking mufflers here will it hurt the engine to have a less restrictive muffler?Something Like a straight pipe,no muffler.Next week I will be home to put the engine unler load in my boat.If I ride in hard clay bottom the engine will see a hard load.

Re: 186f (Yanmar L100 clone) performance mods

Thanks for the responses.

I have run the engine with no load at variable rpm's slowly increasing it until near full speed.It does accelerate fine.

Yes it does have the single bolt rocker arm,I read some placed that its a bad design.

Re: home made 2spd gear box

the diff idea is pretty nifty.......but when a diff is ran as you are talking about,locking one side with a brake and allowing the other side to rotate only,it develops a lot of friction which causes a lot of heat.You would then need one way/cam bearings somewhere in there.

Re: 186f (Yanmar L100 clone) performance mods

It also appears that from reading thru the threads here The generator engine has a different fuel pump than the regular engine pump because the generator pump isn't variable.Its designed for full speed use.

Re: 186f (Yanmar L100 clone) performance mods

No fuel solenoid,all manual.Kinda strange because it has the oil pressure switch but no fuel cut off.The 186f is the 10 hp model. If I figure out how to get more fuel delivery how do I get more air into the combustion chamber?Is that where playing with the fuel timing comes in? I guess I'll wait to ...
