A few thoughts on the GFCI, so you are saying the GFCI button on the front of the warning light panel is tripping, but the circuit breaker ( rocker switch inside control panel ) is not, correct? This means the GFCI is sensing a fault, but the outlet it is not being overloaded. I saw this once...

That's awesome! cool that you found the needle and even better that you're up and running! Nice that it's an ASK unit too. Now the bad news.... I really doubt you will be able to start that 5 hp motor. I've tried starting my 3 hp Sharp milling machine and even a 2 hp lathe with a 002A and the...

Depending on where you got it from it could be perfectly fine or it could be a parts pile. I've found that some locations won't do anything to try to start the machines. If the fluids are drained they don't touch it. Other sites take the time to put oil and filters back on and spend a little...

Hello, the cover I'm talking about is on the left side outer A-frame, to the right and slightly rearward of your previous picture. Just follow the NATO plug's cable. It's just a piece of sheet metal held on by 2 self tapping screws. Today I was working on an M106A3 and it too has the exact same...

Hello, not sure what kind of trailer you are talking about, but.... I can tell you that on the PU-798 ( HMMWV style ) and M116 style trailers there is a set of barrel connectors under a metal cover on the left side of the A-frame. If you remove the cover you will find 2 rows of connectors. You...

Jonathan, On second thought, if you are seeing the back end of the needle with the 1/16" hole in it, that is in the correct orientation. Pointy end ( right hand side in your 2nd picture ) inward like a needle valve and the end with the hole and shoulder ( left hand side in your 2nd picture )...

Humm... Well lets start with the orange ring. That is the thin plastic delivery valve spacer. It will no longer be orange in your machine, but probably more of a brown color, or possible deteriorated and stuck to the metal housing inside. The item you have listed as unknown with the Red square...

Ah, now I see what is happening. You removed the center needle from the "2 Piece" delivery valve assembly. The conical seat and 1/16" hole you are seeing is in fact where the needle seats. You still need to remove the outer piece of the delivery valve ( which may be stuck in place by the...

I'm still a bit confused when you say tiny hole in it. The conical shape you describe should be the end of the plunger, it's slightly rounded and about the diameter of a pencil, but there is no hole in it. Unless it's just a speck of something on it? You should be seeing just the recessed end...

Yes, that sounds right. If you look in the TM it explains how to install the pump. The motor needs to be at 20 BTDC using the hole in the bell housing ( if I recall correctly ) then you line up the marks under the timing cover plate on the side of the pump body before installing the pump. Look...

I love the bottle opener! Luckily its labeled for easy identification.... ;-)

Hi Jamaweib , Renuing.... I think there's a little confusion up above. Renuing, do you have the parts schematic for the pump? Under the big cap is the smaller cap that is a 5/8" 12 point nut. This is what is referred to as the delivery valve holder, #32 in diagram. Under that is #33 which is...

Thanks LITD! Pictures really don't do it justice, It's my 2600 sf. "Play" room :-)

Hi guys, I thought I would share another painting trick I learned this weekend. I've been restoring a MEP-003AASK ( one of 2 super low hour machines that I acquired this past summer ) The machine had just 6 hours on it, but has been sitting on a radar ( m1061 ) trailer since 1989. The paint...

Hi Jonathan, the 2 most common issues with the IP are stuck plungers and broken plunger guides ( Dog bone ) If your plunger is sticking or isn't traveling its full length you won't enough fuel flow and if the plunger guide broke or skipped 90 degrees your timing will be way off. You also...

The Caswell epoxy does not require sand blasting. Just wash it out good with degreaser and hot water. Then I use a metal treating acid, same as you would use to etch metal prior to painting. You could also use muriatic acid and water to etch it a little. If there's loose rust in it you can throw...

FYI, I occasionally use that same trailer to recover single skid frame units. I can pull it with my wife's mini van and take the family with me on "Vacation" while recovering a new purchase.... I also use it to deliver skid frame machines because it can be wheeled into position and it tilts to...

Have you tried checking to see why this unit became a parts donor? Might just want to at least check that the engine turns over by hand and hopefully your exhaust flap is in place?

On the torque of the cap over the delivery valve, it is just that, a cap. It is on there pretty tight, but I generally put them back on using a 1/2" socket wrench and 15/16" socket, hand tight plus an additional smack with the side of my fist, but the pump repair manual says 50-55Ft/lbs, then...

Jamaweib's suggestion about the throttle linkage and the Plunger guide on these machines is critical. Make absolutely sure the linkage moves freely and take off the cap and delivery valve and move the plunger as he said. You can also spray carb or brake cleaner in there to help dissolve any gum...
