In addition to cleaning, about the only thing you can do is remove a few screws and wires and check to see how the contacts, terminal block and underside of the screw heads look. If the underside of the heads are also corroded you may want to 1 by one 1, clean the terminal block and wire contact...

BTW, if you go that route, you only need about 1/2 the material to do an 002A tank. That kit is plenty to do an 003A tank and I do prefer the clear epoxy as you have shown. The colored epoxy looks nice but is thicker and does not flow out as good. Adding thinner is allowed per the instructions...

Yes, that's the one! Looks like it is back to a reasonable price again!

You can make up some new wires if you get the right size terminal ends and the appropriate crimping tool. I can also look through my spares piles and see if I have a full set of wires available, if you'd like. Step 1 though, make sure you can get the "Nuts" off the pre-heaters. Sometimes they...

Yes, try hard because swapping out that switch is not an easy job by any means!

In the past I have purchased new crankshafts and rod bearings from Yanmar and rebuilt these motors, and yes they are very simple to work on. The last one I ran across the customer choose not to rebuild it since it was out of his budget range.

Hopefully you can get the compression gage rigged up to work for you, as that is a crucial piece of the puzzle. IF you happen to find compression low, something I have seen on several different single cylinder Yanmar model MEP's is that a spun rod bearing could be the cause of a compression...

Agreed, I have had good luck loosening the thru-bolts holding the switch together, get the electrical cleaner sprayed into all the joints and little spaces around the protruding contacts, then exercise the switch aggressively. Hopefully you will be able to get it cleared up with a couple rounds...

The tip size is very dependent on how much you thin your paint and how confident you are in laying down enough but not too much. Behr takes and extremely long time to flash off, so you are better off using a slightly smaller tip to avoid too heavy of a coat, which could result in runs. I tend to...

Fittings on the oil hose are crimped on, you need to have a new hose assembly made up. You could cut the sleeves off the fittings and make up your own hose with 1/4" hose and clamps, but I would just buy a custom made assembly. It will probably be about $20 plus shipping. The T-fittings on...

After reading your work done so far again, I would also say that a cylinder bore full of bird seed could have played a role in bending pushrods as well. To that point, before you throw the head back on, tip it upside down and fill the combustion chambers with diesel, kerosene, carb cleaner etc...

So that line you are pointing to is an oil line feeding your oil pressure sensors. You can get new lines custom made at most NAPA stores as well as places on-line like www.Discounthydraulichose.com I believe that line is a -4AN / 1/4" JIC female swivel on both ends. The return line is 3.5mm...

Unless you have a lot of heavy rust pitting or pinhole leaks once you are done, you shouldn't need to replace the tank, but it all depends what you find when you clean it out. typically you get a little water settling right around the drain valve, which can rust the tank, but the sludge in the...

Wes, I'm headed to Ontario on Monday for work, ( just for 1 day on Tuesday and fly home Wed. ) I could have made a house call while I was there, but luckily it seems you are all set!

The check valve definitely need to move. That relief valve could very well be the reason the pushrods got bent. It will also contribute to low/no compression and no-start condition. Good thing you identified and corrected that issue!

Ok, well the gage uses 100 uA DC to get you 60 Hz on the meter, so if you have a DMM capable of measuring micro amps DC, disconnect the 2 wires and measure across. The wires go directly from the output of the transducer to the gage, so if you are 100% positive that your transducer is good, the...

Hello, Troy, got you PM and replied. I think you can also reach the post regarding my fuel adapters by clicking the link in my signature, but sent it in the PM as well. Thanks Ray.

I 2nd the Meguiar's products, I have used them as well as 3M hand glaze to polish and maintain vinyl windows on old cars with plastic convertible top windows. If really bad you may need to start off with an aggressive product then work you way down to a fine polish to get out any swirls left...

Correction... Every time you turn around something has been ruined due to this NEW fuel! rofl I bet something with 8 year old fuel in it is probably in better condition now than something sitting with last years diesel in it.
