Got it. I was able to check the solenoid last night ( in between dodging thunder storms ) and I'm getting 24V on the 2 wires. So opening up the IP cover is my next step. Looks like it has tamper resistant torx screws but I have a set somewhere! Thanks again!

Correct Jim, both pistons move in unison, so removing the oil filler cap will result in huge pulsations that could easily be confused as excess blow-by. If you were loosing compression the motor would probably smoke for 30 seconds or more at start up. Load the machine up and if it performs...

Thank you Guy, yes that's what I have. The lever is not wired up at all, so I'll take care of that. First I'm going to test the solenoid, if that seems ok I'll take off the cover and see if everything inside is moving freely and l'll clean the check valve while I'm in there. Might be a week or...

Hello all, so I just acquired a Mep-005A from a local National Guard base and it appears to have this same issue of no fuel coming from the injection pump. After reading this thread I now understand what to look for initially and how to test everything. My question to those with experience is...

Maybe we should revert back to the CVT1 test? I know you mentioned some readings were close, but not quite within spec. I'm not looking at the TM at the moment, but I believe you need to disconnect all the wires before measuring. Then, maybe telling us which pairs were off and by how far were...

Hello, Sorry if you misunderstood my suggestion, I was suggesting you just loosen the long rods that hold the switch assembly together so that you can spray contact cleaner into the switch's separate sections. I didn't want you to remove the switch, however it seems that may have led you to find...

There aren't any "gaskets" between the pump and the engine block, only the shims. But... either way, there is only engine oil present in that area, not fuel. If you're leaking fuel over there it's gotta be either the supply line, injector line or the lift pump itself. There's no physical way to...

What are you getting for AC voltage when you test the DC charging circuit? If by chance you end up needing a blower wheel.... I know where you can get one...:wink: Let me know when the package arrives... So much for USPS 2 day delivery!

Yea, kind of sounds more like cavitation. I thought green antifreeze was correct for iron engines ( as well as others ) and all these other orange, pink, red, yellow etc. were all different manufacturers "Solutions" for aluminum heads and all aluminum engines? I just use plain old green Prestone...

TI and T2 are in the mail headed your way. ETA, Thursday... Hopefully this gets your problems solved!

Hello, welcome to the forum. I have a couple parts machines and could get you a rotor if you need it. You can send me a PM is you'd like. Thanks Ray.

Your oil pressure is fine, normally it will be anywhere from 25-30 on an engine with some hours to almost pegged high on a newer or recently rebuilt motor. Only be concerned with engine RPM right now. It's hard to see, but I think your droop adjustment is too high up on the thread, that will...

Ok, I sent the video to my phone and was able to view. So Hz gage appears pegged at 65. What happens if you rotate the black throttle knob to the right, or squeeze in on the center button and push the knob in a bit? are you getting any RPM change from the throttle knob? take a look at the end of...

I can't access the video, possibly a firewall issue here at work, PM sent with my address. You will want the droop adjustment to be down near the bottom, about 1/2" up from the bottom for a starting point. 1/2 way up the thread is way way too high.

I'm confused a little, not sure what you mean by hold throttle down ( increase throttle ) moving the throttle linkage up at the pump increases throttle. When you say "Full Bore" are you getting Hz readings on the gage? You always want to run the machine at just over 1800 rpm = 61.5 Hz on the...

So the other tag on the side says it was a OE-481/TRC antenna trailer. A quick search found the attached manual.

If you didn't already purchase, check Mayi diesel. They have good prices. Maybe check the timing cover to see if there is a notch on the pulley and a mark on the cover. If so, just make it so they a somewhat out of alignment. You could also pull an injector and stick a wire in the hole to feel...

Hello, First thing I would try is exercising the AC selector switch ( always with the generator shut off ) switch it back and forth several times. You can also remove the side cover from the AC reconnect box, loosen the nuts on the long rods holding the switch assembly together and spray...

Yes, Joseph is correct you can simply turn the crank so that none of the rod journals are straight up. After you tighten the rocker arms back down, leave it for at least an hour before you crank the motor at all. The lifters need time to settle down do that your valves don't hit again. Think the...

I'll take some more pics this weekend, hopefully I will have a chance to unload it if the sun ever comes out again! There is a tag on the side with some info, I believe it said this was some kind of radio antenna setup maybe? The cage and cord reels look like they were never used, not even a...
