Take a photo, someone may have wires available so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Glad to see it was a ring issue :).

I've seen both styles on 00X machines, with the 2 pin being the original design.

I think you will find either the pump or the double float aux fuel sensor in the tank has shorted (I have had both do this). Take the cover off the fuel tank, and deenergize both. Plug one in at a time, and flip S1 to PRIME + AUX and see which is the culprit.

Higher than Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock.

Were the units that didn't work the cube pump, or round?

The military dip tube assembly has a very small, but hidden, hole to relieve pressure... you don't need to do anything else. The way the aux fuel works is that the machine will activate a fuel pump above the fuel tank (in line with the fitting next to the fuel fill) and the machine will refill...

Yeah it is at the factory, but those steps should not need to be taken by an end user if just replacing worn items with new. Just a matter of paying attention to positions of items when removed. I assume due to the block being cast iron, this is just a low tech approach to tolerance variations...

Which was probably picked up from a typo from L-P. From their manual on this engine series:

Per the Lister Petter Alpha series workshop manual:

They look like this: I might have one or two here if you wanted to discuss. Also have a few of these still available: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/5342-00-066-1235-universal-milspec-bung-adapter-and-2-brass-sections-for-aux-fuel-kit-for-mep-generators.208044/

No local tweakers you could have sold that to as Iraqi Space Dust? ;)

How did you remove the pump in the first place? Ideally you loosen the backing nut on the top FSS stop bolt, and adjust the bolt a little closer to the radiator (so the FSS can articulate more closed). With that done, the notches in the fuel rack armature line up better with the opening in the...

Have you taken the pump out to see if you can compress the spring by hand, to get any fuel out of it? It could be that the pump is stuck compressed, so no matter where the cam lobe falls, its not mechanically pumping.

The gauge should be printed on the wire as part of the number. The trailing two numbers on all sheathed wires, denote the gauge of the wire.

Did you undertake all of the steps called out in the TM testing procedure, to arrive here? I would not lop that plug off and move backwards with butt connectors. Its got a locater on it, get it lined up and twist the collar to retighten.

Do you have the -24 manual for this machine? Its available in the TM forum. PDF Page 55 Starts the troubleshooting steps for "1. ENGINE FAILS TO CRANK.".

When I first read your post, I thought it said 61-63.... 93? What an insolate jerk.

The TB info you already found, but for those that might find this thread in the future, the close-up of the TM section in question.
