Which motor mount is missing? One of the forward mounts towards the radiator fan?
Just an FYI incase you aren't familiar, these machines only use the 2 forward mounts and the mounts on the generator head, they don't use any mounts at the 2 rearward tabs on the side of the block near the bellhousing.
I'd pull off the rear cover to access the fuel pump.
Unplug 1 item at a time and retest to observe when the problem goes away.
Start with the pump itself.
If the issue remains, unplug the dual float assembly ( if you're unsure of what I mean just ask )
If the issue still remains, unplug the...
Agreed... I have run into the same issue before myself. Paid top dollar for OEM parts ( 6X more expensive than ebay stuff ) and received the same cheap Chinese junk available dirt cheap elsewhere instead.
If they are going to sell knockoff crap, at least label and price it as such, for transparency!
S3 would not be causing your problem. As mentioned, the generator SHOULD be producing power whenever the engine is running. That power should always be present at the AC outlet ( assuming it's CB is good ) it will also always be present on the input wires of the contactor.
You don't have power...
Proper fuel treatment is definitely the key to success these days.
I've used most of the major brands of diesel treatments in the past, most recently I started using the OptiLube XPD, after reading the report someone posted here 6 months or so ago. I tell everyone I come in contact with to treat...
Recently I've been seeing increasing numbers of failures with the Ambac M-50 Injection pump plunger guides.
This is attributed to the lower quality LSD fuel available over the last few years.
The reason for this post is to alert 002 / 003 owners to a slightly different failure mode on these...
If the HZ gage drops suddenly to zero and then the machine dies, that sounds like an electrical shut down, not mechanical engine shut down.
If the engine dies due to a mechanical issue the HZ will drop as engine speed decreases. It won't drop instantly to zero and then the engine dies.
As for...
You need to determine what's causing the gage to peg itself up high before you do anything. It could be the sending unit, could be the gage itself, could be a wiring issue or even an engine problem.
I'm having a little bit of a hard time understanding what you are trying to say sometimes.
Is the...
The Glow plug solenoid / relay is mounted to the rear wall inside the control cube. You can find it in the TM.
There are 2 relay / solenoids mounted 1 above the other. One is the glow plug, but don't recall which, I think the bottom one.
There is no actual alternator, nor is there an alternator...
Well be careful, The Carter P74016 as well as the other 24V Airtex numbers are not quite drop in replacements.
The E1074 has a right angle built into the top of the pump. The others are all straight through.
You need to rig up some 90* adapter fittings to make the straight pumps fit.
It also...
Most times the old hard copy Molex catalogs would tell you the mating pin series# on the same page as the connector / pins that you located.
Maybe they show the same info on-line if you look up the Series / PN of the half you located?
But I would also just go with M/F .250" Fast-On connectors...
It sounds like your Aux. pump is working but your primary pump ( next to the radiator on the oil filter side of the engine ) is not.
The Aux pump ( hidden inside the fuel tank compartment ) will run anytime the switch is in the aux position and the tank is below about 3/4 full.
Guy wants you to...
If we see anything in the news about your mysterious disappearance we will notify the authorities..... and haul you hardware away for free... to get it out of your wife's way! :ROFLMAO:
Ah, you have a new style starter without the external linkage. The original starters had external levers and pivot pins, yours looks new and should not have that issue.
