I've never seen rebuild kits for them, but there are tons of 24V pumps that will work in its place, many as cheap as $30

Just to elaborate, in Zarathustra's case what is happening is the relief valve is stuck closed, causing oil pressure to go too high. This pumps up the lifters to the max and floats the valves causing a loss of compression and then the motor dies. If you are unable to even get the motor started...

Another helpful trick is to drill a 1/8" air bleed hole through the flat section of the thermostat. Some better brands come with a hole already there with a little loose fit captive pin that will seal it once pressure builds. This allows the air to pass through when filling, but 1/8" is small...

Exactly... People always say " Propane is more efficient " Well, that may be so, when looking from a distance but it all boils down to the measly 91,000 BTU's Vs 139,000. Hope you have a BIG propane tank.... because you won't be getting anything filled during an outage. Especially if it needs...

If you aren't too hung up on stainless, I had grabbed zinc plated serrated flange head bolts 10-32 x 5/8" for about $10 per 100 and also got serrated flange nuts for $8 / 100 on ebay. Not the original style, but I like the serrated flange heads personally, they grab good and don't vibrate loose...

It's difficult to tell the condition of ALL the tubes, but if you disconnect the lower hose and stick a garden hose in the top at full open you should have full flow out the bottom, it should not be restricted and forcing pressure out the top. You may get some splash-back out the top because the...

Running it without a thermostat could very likely be the cause of the overheating. It may seem contradictory, but without the thermostat to regulate the flow, water will circulate too fast and not transfer its heat properly. Excessive levels of antifreeze and insufficient water will also cause...

So you pulled the t-stat, flushed motor, replaced t-stat and new coolant, then it overheated??

First thought would be a stuck thermostat. Any idea if the upper hose was excessively hot when it shut down or still cold / cool? Also, was the temp gage pegged right? First you should verify the engine actually overheated and the issue isn't a faulty sensor. Then verify the hoses and radiator...

Sweet plug outlet mount!

Agreed... that noise sounds like insufficient voltage to keep the preheat solenoid closed and also insufficient to close the start relay. If you have a volt meter, check the battery voltages, but I bet at least 1 of them is bad.

Try putting a jumper wire across the connector for the temp switch and see if that keeps it running. If you still have issues with it shutting down, leave the jumper wires on the machine for a while and see if it stays running. It sounds like your DCVR is working, but 25V is very low, it...

If you have access to a lathe, what I did was make a dummy injector body that is actually a compression gage adapter. Remove injector, install the adapter in it's place and the adapter accepts the compression gage. I used an 0-ring set into a groove on the bottom instead of the copper injector...

Update: John pulled out his IP and sent it up to me. I took it apart today and found exactly what I expected and MORE! Not only was the plunger guide split in half, but the end of the throttle lever ( Control unit ) was snapped off inside the pump housing. Also, the plunger sleeve was fairly...

Yes, I bet it would have a hard time running on 1 cyl, but it may run. It definitely won't run very well. As you plug in more injectors just see how it reacts. If you see evidence of unburned fuel in the exhaust or a runaway situation you will know you are closing in on the problem cylinder...

You are correct, I mis-read where you took the intake hose off. I didn't realize it was off the intake not air cleaner, so yes.... you have eliminated the turbo from the equation. Your thinking about the injectors just dumping fuel is a definite possibility. Unfortunately I'm not experienced...

Could you give us some background info on your 1070, including hours etc? I have no experience with your model, but in general a run away diesel needs to be receiving a fuel source that is uncontrolled by the machines control systems. First thing that comes to mind is an oil leak feeding into...

Strange, I just looked and it still shows at .87 ?? if you scroll down there are many purolator and ultra power for the $1.25 range. I was searching under 85 BMW 318i That seems to give better results than looking up the filter PN. itself.

You could probably have your radiator re-cored by a local shop if need be. What's wrong with yours?

Funny story... I buy most of my filters from Rock Auto. If you poke around a bit on their website other cross references will come up. Turns out the same filter fits a mid-80's BMW and it came up with a listing for a Parts master filter with the same PN as WIX that was on sale for $1.15 ea...
