    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    I will look into doing the same thing with the hyd cooler. Thanks for the idea.

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Thank you all for the replies. I will be ordering a sheet of aluminum and a10" fan which I will install behind where my legs rest. I will remove the metal cover and replace it with the new cover/fan. In the meantime, I removed the rear door and it runs much cooler. I haven't had the engine quit...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Good news! I traced down the no fuel issue! I bypassed the fuel filter and it fired up right away. It's been running for 45 minutes so far and not a hiccup. Going to order an online glass see through filter in place of the screw on canister filter until I figure out what is the issue with the...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Here is a picture of the engine compartment. The photo above is from what the seller sent me. As you can see the exhaust flex pipe runs right in from of the valve cover. I disconnected the pipe and took off the rear hatch. Now the problem is that it won't start. I used starting fluid and it...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Good question, will look at the air flow direction and do the exhaust modification to see if it helps plus taking the rear hatch off.

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Honestly, I don't know if there is a sensor at all. When it shuts down it acts as if it was running out of gas until it just dies and won't turn on until it cools off. It's possible it may have a temp sensor but the manual is as clear as mud. What I did notice, is that the exhaust flex pipe runs...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Today, I adjusted the relief valve and the good news is that movement is much more fluid. The bad news of that the machine cut off after getting hot. Seems like there isn't adequate ventilation. The rear hatch gets hot as a griddle. If pancake mix would stick vertically I could make breakfast...

    Thank you all for the replies. I wish this machine would have been good to go from the get go like the Mahindra.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into saying a gauge. I didn't get a chance to mess with the relief valve today due to rain. I think the pressure is set too high, at least from what I can gather after reading the operating manual.

    The engine compartment has side grills/openings to provide air flow but I'm not sure if it is adequate.

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    I am planning on adding fans. Perhaps in a push pull configuration to draw in and at the same time pull hot air out. I was reading more info on the possible symptoms and I am suspending the hydraulic pressure relief valve. I'm going to adjust or reset to see if it helps. I'm disappointed but the...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    To add insult to injury, after letting the machine sit for two hours, it won't start. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning. So far my first impressions are that the machine is garbage. It's on me for buying **** Chinese products. I'm hoping it is something simple but I'm not holding my...

    New Rippa NDI313 problems

    Hello all, first time posting. Just took delivery of a Rippa NDI313 Chinese mini excavator to complement my '21 Mahindra 1626 which has been flawless. I did the usual setup, added fuel, hydraulic oil and engine oil. The engine is a B&S 13.5HP and it fires up fine but after ten minutes of...
