I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether the problem is the injection pump, or if something in the generator head is maybe shorting and pulling it down. The voltage stays constant at 240, so I'm leaning toward pump.
Alright, I eliminated anything on the electrical engine control side being an issue when I verified repeatedly that it isn't the kill / run solenoid shutting it down. I can actually watch the linkage pull it up to full fuel as it dies, then when the engine comes to a full stop the kill solenoid...
My 003A has always ran well for years. Fires right up for everymaintenance run, but now that we needed it after hurricane Laura it won't stay running. Fires up, runs about ten minutes, misses a little sometimes, will bog down, idle way up, settle back to 60hz, then just die. Mind you, this is...
I'm flying into Alexandria Tuesday night. I verified my deuce is undamaged and operational. That's going to be a huge help for me to take care of Erika and the property.
The eye went right through my town. Major destruction. They're saying it will take a month to get the grid back up. I'm flying home from Korea for a couple weeks to assess damage, do cleanup, and make sure Erika has a running generator and enough fuel to get her through until power is restored...
Every time I've stopped by there ( during business hours), the gates have been closed and nobody around. A real pain to back out of there with an M105 behind a deuce too since there's no place to turn around with the gate closed.
Yes I've done the same with my wrecker pulling out other people that have gotten several vehicles stuck. Leave the wrecker on the road and let them drag cable. For what it's worth, I've driven he wrecker right there for years without getting stuck. Just too much rain without time to dry out...
I don't recall that. May have been a repair I was doing before the swap. All my lines are plastic now except the fuel supply line from the tank to the primary fuel filter.
Use this discharge line from the compressor to the frame. You can use 1/2" plastic air line from there back to the dryer, and from the dryer to the tanks. Signal line only needs to be 1/4" from the governor to the compressor and from the governor to the unloader on the dryer. Use 3/8" everywhere...
Check the battery to frame ground to make sure it isn't breaking at the frame connection, and check the #10 wire connection at the magnetic relay above the starter. One of those could cause your intermittent loss of power, but neither should make the truck die. If it won't stay running without...
