If your floats test out ok and the problem persists there may be a problem with the float control module or the fault panel on the machine. Pull out the zig zag shaped dual float assembly as Guy suggested, and ohm out the lower float, make sure it's working correctly. Also note: the float...

Good one Guy! (y) ( hopefully your wife doesn't read these articles! )

I have a suspicion that your plunger guide has skipped 90* If you are able to get it to start again, let ir run a bit and see if it gets abnormally hot, especially in the valve cover area. If so, I bet the dogbone skipped but did not split open. I've seen this a couple times before. It usually...

I also have a used one I can part with, if you end up needing a switch.

The pumps are very simple to open up, clean and reassemble. All that's in there are 2 check balls, top and bottom and a magnetic plunger that vibrates back and forth to move the fuel. Most likely yours are just stuck from gum buildup. Take off the base with a 5/8" wrench, remove the strainer...

Chris, if you feel the injectors are not spraying fuel, I'm in RI and am set up to test, rebuild and set the pop pressure on these injectors. If you are getting no smoke then for one reason or another you aren't getting fuel into the cylinders. It seems very unlikely that both injectors would...

If I read correctly you are getting fuel to the injectors but no smoke at all? When you attempt to crank it have someone look at the fuel shut off solenoid. The solenoid should pull up and the throttle linkage should lift up to full open. For the return lines, yes you will have fuel coming from...

Welcome to the forum. ANYTHING can be repaired. The guys here should be able to walk you through it. The first thing I would do it exercise both the AM/VM and AC select switches ( with the machine off ) Cleaning the switches with contact cleaner as well would be recommended. Then retest. Also...

Don't worry about keeping it at 75% output. You don't need to be that high. You just don't want to go for long periods of time with very little load. Worst case if you run at little load ( under 25% ) for a full day or more just turn a few extra things on every couple days for 1/2 hour or more...

I think what Guy is referring to is that not only do the shims set your pump timing, but the rotational setting of the pump is important for balanced fuel delivery and proper fuel shut-off. This can be adjusted using the thermal gun. If you have a machine that smokes after start up ( for a...

Nice Fox body. I had an 87' LX , 89' Saleen, 93' LX, 2000 GT, 94 GT, 88 GT convert, 05 GT and I still have my first car, a 67' coupe with a small block, T5, 9" posi and nitrous as well as my 69' big block convertible. Then there's that other Pontiac thing over in the far corner... ;-)

Yup, for the sake of a few bucks just replace it, don't even bother taking it out to test. I will guarantee it is stuck partially open. Also, other reasons removing the t-stat will cause problems are: Coolant flowing too quickly and will not properly pick up or dissapate heat and removing the...

Hummm.... SBF! my kind of guy! I have nothing but Fords.... Except for my wife's 350 Formula convertible, but as I said.... Her Formula, not mine! It's parked on the OTHER side of the garage ;-)

Like everyone said, Best to see why it's been fiddled with and go from there. If the switch ends up being bad I have a used spare.

Guys, FYI I just purchased some extra Champion 182 ( CH-42 ) glow plugs as well as some of the real Onan equivalent 2920-00-106-1817 kit ( which includes the copper washer ) , same kit Green Mountain is selling and I also have some of the Onan 0110-0546 copper washers available separately. If...

Out of curiosity, in case I missed it, did you change the temp sender to match the new gage? Your new gage is going to read incorrectly if you leave the old sender because the original is a 240* and new is 250* but both have the same full swing resistance. So the new gage will read high. Also...

Let us know if the connector cleaning fixes it. If not I've been through a few contactor issues lately and can possibly help, but it is pretty self explanatory to test and troubleshoot.

We're dying to know what the problem ended up being?? Did you have a lift pump issue or something else?

Sure any time, PM sent... For others, looks like this "working from home" thing is melting my brain. It was a 10 pack of ZDDPlus for $83...

I presume you're having problems with the Contactor? Is it not closing from the switch?
