Good work! give it a little extra testing just to be sure, but you're probably good now. They usually show signs of leaking pretty quickly when there's a problem.

A quick note before you pull the injectors. If you'd like, disconnect the fuel shut off solenoid linkage at the black knob. then using your hand, twist the shutoff lever left and right through it's range of motion. You should feel very little resistance for a bit then feel a noticeable increase...

If there was any debris at all in the holes, the copper washers may not seal good. A quick fix I have found is to tighten the clamps, then take a hammer and a punch and give each injector a few good taps where the clamps contact the injectors to help "seat" the washers, if there was garbage...

Yes, 1ea. is plenty. Using good quality fuel means filters last a long time. Most folks use 2 different micron rated filters, it's not really a strainer, more of a coarse filter and fine filter. Your 1 pump will be fine. The normal dual pump setup is for redundance, it doesn't really increase...

I have used the E8135 to replace the round E1074 and like you said, it's a tight stretch. I believe I ended up flipping the inlet and outlet upside down and using a couple other angle fittings to make it happen. It definitely is not a drop in, but can easily be engineered with a few extra...

Good work Kurt! I think you will soon be getting very busy, 802/803 replacement VR's have been a hot topic lately!

Looks like your video did not get posted, I just see an empty post with no attachment. As for the governor, it has to be serviced. It's a series of weights and springs inside the timing cover, near the throttle linkages. You'll need to pull the timing cover and crank pulley to get in there, but...

You are correct, don't ever hook up to you house until the machine is fully tested, repaired and you know it's working correctly and reliably. Use something else to test with like heat guns, an old oven, portable heaters etc.

P32pac, so that I understand correctly are you saying you can move the throttle through the full range of motion on the lever where the cable attaches and the engine speed does not change at all? If so it sounds like you have a problem inside the governor assembly. You also said it smokes a...

You guys got Trains, Trucks, Tanks etc... WHERE did I go wrong! So Jealous... :drool:

Nice, looks great. Do you pull it out with a pallet jack when time to use or test??

No need to pull the cover to adjust droop. Check the TM and find the droop adjustment procedure. There is a hex key pipe plug in the timing cover right near the throttle linkage. Remove that plug and there is a hex key screw that you access through the hole. The TM tells you what size hex keys...

If I recall correctly there are wiring schematics for both style switches in the TM. I know I've seen them before, but luckily haven't needed them. FYI, stuck switches are very common on the 002 and 003. Usually loosening the rods that retain the switch into a single unit and spraying some...

I've been using the 383 green PN 34094 from Rapco Parts. Nothing will match perfect if the set is faded, but you can get a spray can and spray some into the cap to use for brush touch-up or use the spray can to "Dust" it in and blend it a little. Another quick note: if the set is faded, go over...

Try taking a look at the wiring schematic and the part in question. I'm not that familiar with the 804 but most other sets have identifiers that help you determine what things are. See if it's got a K* label near it. Sounds like either you starter or glow plug relay.... if a yanmar turbo even...

Yes! it seems like most of the decent ones have almost dried up and the current auctions are mainly either beat down high hour units or neglected machines with parts missing, bad motors etc. HOWEVER.... people are still paying more than ever for some of these crappy looking units! All I can do...

Hey Kurt, I know you said you had fuel pressure but which pump do you have? I'm wondering if you have a fuel pump about to fail. I've seen once or twice where the pump would sound fine, but wasn't pumping fuel intermittently. I changed out the pump and problem went away. Maybe you could rig up a...

To charge a 24V system you need about 27-28V ( typically you need 13.6V per battery ) so I think you are in the ballpark. The only issue could be the speed of the fluctuation. Your alternator output could be swinging drastically rapidly ( often exaggerated when hot ) yet a digital volt meter...

Welcome.... You are dead on, Guyfang's persistent direction to read the TM as well as searching and reading the previous posts will pretty much solve any issues without fail. While we all enjoy helping members solve their problems, I think too often people don't bother to do any research first...
