My Niece is getting married....at my house....that weekend. Sorry, another no-show for me.....:(

No most of that stuff has gone away because he, the owner of the hangar and airport that was there, got eminent domain by the state of California when they did the freeway expansion for Highway 58. It could be at his new hanger over in boron I think. I have not been over that far to check it out

No, after the overflow is just that, overflow. It is what pressure escapes, or is vented from the gallery, which is controlled by the overflow valve. The picture that was posted shows the one of two places to read the IP gallery/fuel filter out pressure.

Don't just load the parts cannon, troubleshoot it. If there is a restriction, no hard part will fix it. Three check points will give you the 4 readings you need, restriction into the system, lift pump output pressure/FF inlet pressure, FF outlet pressure, (pressure drop across the filter)gallery...

If there isn't enough pressure/flow, but, usually a white smoke, hard start, low power issue is present. Low pressure/flow changes injection timing, retards it, hence the white smoke and makes it so the minimum low pressure isn't there to make the needed high pressure causing a hard start.

If the idle stop turns out OK, you need to check fuel pressure. If there is a restriction or the lift pump is not making the correct pressure your issue can happen, but, it usually accompanied by white smoke and there are power issues. You should check pressure/restriction anyway just so you...

Fuel shut off valve. It's the electric plunger goodie on the side of the pump that pulls in when you start it and extends when the power is off. There are specific measurements for the different types of valves and pumps for pull in. If it does not pull in far enough, the coil will not hold and...

Just thought about something else. If the FSOV is coming apart or not adjusted properly, it can cause the same symptom.

There is an idle stop screw on the back side of the throttle lever. If there has been any kind of an oil, fuel leak there, the liquid acts as a base and dirt will erode, lap, whatever the contact points for that stop. The stop can be adjusted, HOWEVER, if the stop is eroded, the adjustment will...

So it dies if you let off the go pedal or if you bring the rpm down slowly, will it stay running until you fully remove you foot from the pedal? Sincde you stated a new overflow valve, I assume it is an 8.3....

M9 combat tractor? If you are talking about a 900 series with the 855 in it, the footprint of the small cam, N/A 250 hp engine in it has the same footprint as any other 855 cid Cummins EXCEPT for the taper nosed, trunnion mounted one. So, anything from a N/A 190 to a turbocharged 400 will fit...

A small update on the gunship. BLKHMMWV and I got the tail rotor on today, looks good and looks REALLY good while everything is rotating! Sorry, no pics or videos of that, Craig took aa video, but I can't figure out how to send it to my phone or e-mail, file too large..... I did a bit more...

As long as they are owned by .gov, they are not supposed to be operated. Even things with no power in them. Rumor has it that a facility took in a non powered tracked vehicle, transplanted a power pack into it and was operating it. When .gov came to inspect, get it back, whatever, they found it...

There is actually a list of people waiting for tracked things. Dunno if it is for a gate guard or what. I do know that another Museum folded and the ARMY has a mess of stuff on loan to them and they are swamped trying to get their stuff out of the folded facility and we just added two more things.

OK, I forgot yesterday, but remembered today!. If what you want isn't there, lemme know what you want and I can take detailed pics. Both of these are still ARMY owned, therefore, we do not run them. They are intact, still have everything needed to function, but not ours, so the only thing we do...

AND, I forgot to give a shout out to a good friend, BLK HMMWV on the tubes. If it weren't for him, the dots wouldn't have been connected to get things printed. He understood the Museum wanted to re-create the tubes and Matt needed/wanted wheels. Some horse trading and things happened. The HUMMWV...

Brent has always been great when I call to ask questions. I would love to get out there sometime and say hey. I hear he just had a DC9 delivered!

No, we do not, AFAIK. HOWEVER, I have not looked completely through the pile of TMs in the library trailer. There are alot that are in stacks and not filed by number.

Been outa town, will take some on Tuesday.

There are two at the Museum. Want pics? Still Army owned.
