performance of motor

This unit has a perkins Diesel. one pedal. When you accelerate forward or reverse, motor responce is slow unless you use lift lever to pick up speed.If you drive 500 feet unit will pick up speed, but if you use lift lever, unit speeds up and let go of lever and unit will hold fast pace. Motor starts great, runs ok. Just poor preformance. Pump has a rod with 5 holes. Have moved linkage up one hole and that helped alittle.At first, pedal had to be pressed about half way before wheels would turn. Took pressure readings of hydrostat and they are in factory range.After pressure test, wheels would turn as soon as you pressed pedal. Not sure what this did. But it did improve wheel spin.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
