Told you you had it.:cool: And the home made flap wheel is what I used on mine with 600 wet or dry paper and WD 40. Taped the inside edge of the paper to a wood dowel and wrapped the paper around the dowel a dozen times or so by using the drill on slow. Then wiped the WD-40 inside and spun the...
That will be the part that is giving you the problem and yes it is the piston. Put whatever solvent in there you choose, throttle body cleaner should work bu it evaporates very quickly which I think will cause the gunk to just grab back on but give it a try. If they have tried it and it works go...
Thanks for the update and from the sounds of things you are headed in the right direction. I would say that since the transfer pump is still working to leave that one in place for the time being, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I did mine because of a couple reasons. One, I am a mechanic so...
I had never had it apart before this happened so anything is possible. Both filters were dirty but #2 was really dirty and clogged. I think #1 was cleaned at some point and #2 was never done. I got this unit straight from an Air Force base so PMS was not being done as called for obviously. The...
Guy, I had a plugged line take out both pumps. It was actually a plugged filter in pump two. Pump two quit working probably due to heat from running dry, it just bound up. Pump one did not go bad but did not run since it was blocked by pump two. A good cleaning of both pumps AND the fuel tank...
Two things, One is we are NOT dealing with AC power but DC power and two, Wikipedia is not exactly the most dependable source of knowledge out there. When I had my shop one of my specialties was automotive electrical so I got to see my share of corroded wiring. This was before glue sealed crimp...
Evvy, Have you read this thread from the beginning? The very first post was the OP asking for help diagnosing his fuel pumps which are NOT working! So he KNOWS the engine is not getting any fuel and that is why he is here. Please give him a chance to solve that issue first. And I realize you are...
To remove the filter cut the wire and strip back the ends and use a marine heat shrink and glue filled butt connector. Once crimped and heated it will be sealed for life.
The rubber connectors do pull apart but you will probably have to twist them a bit to get them going. My guess is that one of the pumps is probably gummed up and that is why it is not running. These pumps are pretty robust and seldom go bad. It does happen but more often they stop working due...
If you follow those wires back from the pumps there should be rubber Packard connectors on them a couple feet back at the most. I have never seen pumps hardwired in.
Ok, I went back through the posts and where I thought it said codes it was stating "Fault lights" . That was what got me on the computer path. I am not familiar with the 800 series since when I was looking at them they were just too expensive. Another of my things about "Surplus". Surplus items...
TQG's? Not an acronym I am familiar with but if you are talking about the 802 series they have LED screens don't they? Don't they have microprocessors controlling those screens and the functions those screens provide? I saw back in the beginning of the thread someone asked if there were any...
Are they still demilling these sets by cutting wires and such like they used to do with the older 002 and 003 series? Or do they just flat out sell them without worrying about that anymore? I stopped being interested in them once they went to computer controls. To me, the whole idea of military...
Here is the problem, When you leave out steps you have done you leave us in the dark. We have no idea if that step helped or harmed. If the manual says that the dead crank switch only cranks but does not start the engine but you are saying it does start the engine than it sounds to me like those...
In your typing you tend to leave out entire words so that makes following your conversations hard. But from what you have said like the part about the two wires on the o/p sensor and asking if it were just a ground makes me wonder if you have even looked at a wiring diagram? And if not how did...
