Zed,
I found the same switch on eBay and I tried to install it over the weekend. I placed all terminals from the previous switch on the corresponding numbered lugs of the Electro switch. I got nothing. Is there any chance you have a wiring diagram for the new switch?
Hope you all are well.
I've never had the rack out of the engine case, I've only removed the injector pumps. However, I know that when I pull up or push down on the rack there is a bit of play - say, 3/16". Put another way, the rack will rock up and down a bit when I get my fingers in the inside edge and lightly pull...
I believe it's happening during the shutoff. It is not happening during operation/while it's running. The first and second time, all of the pumps popped out. The third and forth time, it was 1,2, and 3. Yes, I did have difficulty reinstalling the pumps but now that I have the hang of it...
To GuyFang, DieselAddict, Ray70, jamawieb,
Thank you all for helping me getting my genset running. There have been some complications here are there but for the most part she's running quietly and consistently at my job site and providing us with plenty of power to run all of the equipment...
Steel Soldiers,
Today I got my genset running and it’s producing power. Despite what what some have said - everything is NOT in the TMs. The advice and support I received on the forum here was invaluable to getting my generator running. Thanks for everyone who helped.
Getting the injector...
So... I accidentally did what you said not to do and released the lower spring and spotted washer from the pump assembly when I was turning the pin & collar to break the corrosion free. Soaked it, everything works great but now, as I imagine you already know I can not get the plunger to stay in...
Thanks for the help guys. I have a new hope now that I've got the pumps blown-up. #1 had a seized plunger - this has now been freed and is soaking for the evening. This kind of help may be in the TMs but I have yet to find anything this helpful. So, thanks for the help so far and I'll be in...
Jamawieb, I did as you said an treated the upper portion of the pumps. The plungers/valves all appear to move with ease but cranking does not send fuel through or spin the plunger.
I read a bunch last night including a thread about fuel in the engine block (one that you all have been involved...
I have checked the three TMs that I have downloaded from GMG but I was unable to find any reference to the "fuel rack". With your explanation Ray70, I know understand the apparatus that people have been referring to. I wasn't able to get beyond the "3-12 BLEEDING/PRIMING FUEL SYSTEM" because I...
Ray, thanks for the input. Help me out, what the **** is the "fuel rack"? I've read a bunch about moving this to: a. fire up the pumps or, b. disengage the pumps from the block. I'm just not clear on what I'm supposed to be manipulating. The fuel solenoid travels freely and what I would call...
Gents,
I pulled the delivery valve holder and when I prime the system, the cavity fills with fuel but when I crank the engine, there is no fuel bubbles from the high pressure fittings. In other words, I'm not getting any pressurized fuel from the pumps. I spent the last couple of evenings...
DieselAddict,
First, thank you for all of your contributions, they have been really useful so far. Unfortunately, I'm having much the same trouble as THANE. I've also read through pages and pages of this forum to get a better understanding of my trouble. Between you and Guyfang, I've learned a...
