    Why chippers without engine covers?

    Hard to keep up on everything. A LOTTA LOTTA of gunk in the fins, particularly toward the bottom. Start with the basics, right. Never really tried water cleaning, for fear of bending the fins. Always just did air. Some of both seems to be in order. Wednesday might be a maintenance day, if I...

    Why chippers without engine covers?

    It had a mechanical fuel pump, as stock. I've had it 10 years (God I've been feeling my age lately!). It's basically run as it is for 10+ years, except, my gray beard mechanic took off the vacuum advance, and change it (back?) to ignition points. At one point, he said, "Probably possible to...

    I've bent fins before. Maybe the kinder, gentler approach. Thanks, Merle. I don't "have" to buy a pressure washer with that technique. I appreciate the more important troubleshooting, and... back to the original question...why do I see many without covers? Just lost by an employee, somewhere...

    Water cooler . Chrysler 318 5.2 liter. I often see older c-n-d chippers without the covers. Lost or intentional, IDK? Just saw a bandit 200 on tree trader without the cover. Someone its just off for a For Sale pic of the engine. I've had the radiator rebuilt before. Water pump has at least...

    Why chippers without engine covers?

    I wonder if funneling air through the engine housing is helpful for cooling. My housing has lots of layers of paint on it. I need to strip it down and paint it, one layer thick. Might run cooler, a problem I have mid summer. I haven't tried taking the covers​ off, yet, as it's been cool to...

    Why chippers without engine covers?

    Do people intentionally remove engine covers on chippers for increased cooling?
