That is cheating!!

Found the timing hole. Wow, that's a small hole and difficult to get an eyeball close. I guess a flashlight and mirror are needed?

Thanks, I saw the part in the TM where it tells you there's a timing hole and marks on the flywheel but I briefly looked and didn't see the hole. Now that I know where to look, I'll go look again. On the subject - does anyone know how many teeth the flywheel has? I have a MPU in mine that...

Never mind on the IP manual questions. I went back and skimmed thru that section of the TM. Seems like plenty of info there to do the job. and it does say pull the timing inspection plate on the motor before pulling the pump. Still need to find the part about putting the motor at 20* BTDC...

Is there a timing mark on the harmonic balancer for the motor or do I need to pull that timing cover inspection plate? Saw something in a TM this weekend that said there was something spring-loaded in there so you need to pull that inspection plate before removing the IP.

Very good advice. I will probably take lots of pictures as it comes apart. I will need to remove the alternator to get the timing inspection plate off the motor. Believe it or not, the timing mark in the pump is dead center of the inspection window right now. Saw that when I pulled that...

You're right, very good video on IP operation. That helps a lot! I will most likely watch that one several more times! I bookmarked it.

Thank you! I watched part of a video this weekend of some guy rebuilding a DB pump and he was going into the new style weight basket thing and how to make the timing mark and such. That's how I knew about the new style basket w/o rubber. I'll have to watch the full video when I have more time...

Banjo bolts. I didn't take them out, just loosened them to see / bleed air. Anyway, it looks like it's just dripping... much more volume from bottom banjo than top. So I think the IP is not pumping. I pulled the IP timing inspection cover late yesterday. The rubber seal is in the process...

Did some "googling" on the no fuel to injectors subject and then some checking. I see lots of small pieces of something at the bottom of the IP "bowl" that wasn't there before I added fuel and tried to start the motor. Also pulled out the check valve again and it had lots of crud in it too -...

Question: What does the "shutdown arm" actually do? Is it supposed to move something down in there besides itself? I keep thinking that when I power the shutdown solenoid it's not really doing anything but moving this arm. The solenoid works. I've verified that. But I see nothing down in...

Bugs! Pulled the starter. It was turning quite freely and the bendix also moved freely so I took apart the solenoid. Wow! Contact surfaces in PRETTY bad shape! Nice piece of work though - all silver plated copper. Anyway, cleaned all the contact surfaces real good and reassembled. Starter...

Crap! Found the problem with the fuel pump. The other day I was out there just tracing wires and such and saw this damn bug (bee / wasp looking thing) crawling into one of the fuel elbows I pulled off the fuel tank and had left laying in that tray on top of the generator. I immediately put...

Update: Haven't really been able to spend any time on this project until tonight. I wired in 2 temporary toggle switches. One to provide 24 volts to the fuel pump and the IP solenoid. Another to provide 24V to the starter solenoid. I turned on the fuel pump and cracked the bleeder on the...

Progress: I got most of the engine control and sensor wires mapped to the multi-pin connector on the back of the control housing. BTW, if anyone is interested I found out that this is a Bendix (bought out by Amphenol at some point) 36-7 connector (36 small pins and 7 large pins for a total of...

same picture above: There is a sensor screwed into the engine block right behind the injector pump. I cannot find it in the TMs but according to the TMs, I should have an oil pressure transmitter and an oil pressure switch over by the oil filter. I only see what looks to be a transmitter (4...

What is the sensor on the flywheel bell housing (wire coming off it and hanging behind the bigger wire loom.)? Is that a magnetic RPM sensor?

Question: Anyone know what extractor tool I need to use to remove the pins / wires that are no longer used on the large connector going into the rear of the control panel??

Great info - thanks!

Actually, after digging around in the wiring and reading on the web last night, I am more optimistic than before. I'll have to trace and label all the wires and create a schematic for it but it looks like if I take things like oil pressure, temp and such and feed them into a new controller, I...
