i looked at the diagrams you listed. now you got me second guessing myself. lol
you know i dont think it matters. i believe 1 and 4 fire at the same time and 2 and 3 do the same. tomorrow night i will double check. i know the 1 and 4 pistons and 2 and 3 pistons follow each other but i will...
they are calling the #1 the blower end. atleast thats what it shows on all the diagrams i have seen for setting valve clearances and the flywheel pointer
i know military stuff is always done way overkill but the high psi fuel lines with those heavy aeroquip ends that that prob handle 1500psi are a pia to put on are not really needed. aeroquip has 250psi rated line and fitting which is way more than enough to handle the prob 6-7 psi that the fuel...
thats interesting. didnt know there was anyone doin that. i guess the idea here is you can go one of two ways. remove the data plate and just replace with the decal or you can overlay it onto the data plate itself and pop rivet the refinished plate back onto the gen set. for the control panel...
well i have been slowly working on this computer file for all the data plates. got them all done except i am missing the one for the slave receptacle. i had it but i seem to have lost it in all my parts around here. ill manage to get that one done. i went ahead and did the control box panel as...
Yes thats it. Its not the whole speed control arm/shaft though. Just that little pin in the end.
also just looking at my pump, mine is al little different than the one in the 34 manual. That center shaft/plunger in the manual is tapered on the one end. If you look in the parts manual there are...
robb i pulled the pump apart but not the whole thing. separated the gear from the housing. just took that band off that holds the two together and it all just came apart. im not sure what the special tool is needed for. it looks like to remove the shaft with the timing button on the end of it...
i should also note that page 158 in the parts manual, fig 51 part #16. the fuel control which is the little thing that goes in the slot on the block has a slight bend in the end. prob when that block broke.
ok so this morning i went out to double check my pump timing. set the engine to the pc mark and the 1/8 drill bit in the locating hole lined up perfectly. so the teeth are meshed right but the timing is way off so that tells me something is screwy with the pump. i took the pump apart and sure...
Yes its regular thread since i just pulled mine this evening as well to do the ip timing test. Mine was tight but not too bad.it should be about 70ft lbs
ahhh ha!! i found it. just dont know how it happened. ip its timed waaaay out. first i went to my friends machine shop and borrowed his dial indicator and mag base. i went through the manual to do the test and set the timing pointer on the flywheel. since the wheel was changed i wanted to be...
Yes harley, i could hear fuel running back into the tank. I have also bren through every hose and line in the unit, ran solvent through all of them and blew them all out including the check valve
haha john i wish i could answer your questions but when that thing started spooling up and ran away i was in complete spaz mode. its all a complete fog really. i turned it to off, i popped the hatch open and pushed the linkage down and it did nothing then after a few more sec it started to slow...
well on another note, here are some pics of this thing all put back together minus a batt gauge and hour meter i am waiting on and me redoing all the data plates. also a pic of the new fuel gauge. pretty nice and easy to read. you'll also notice i went through and put techflex sleeving around...
