A great degunk and lacquer remover is Chem dip. However know what you are doing because its a bit like going after a fly with a bazooka. Last time i used it was on a 003 IP (same as the 002) and check valve. BUT the IP was completely rebuilt after. It was very clean once removed...

Agreed, But every safety rule and building code is written in blood so someone did, there was probably an injury or property damage, now there is another code to learn.

In the normal configuration, you can pull a breaker and the buss remains live and the breaker doesnt. When backfed breakers (especially QO) have live bits sticking out and able to hit things.

NFPA 70 408.36 (D) if youre curious.

If you are back feeding a breaker for the main you either need a bolted in breaker or some other form of Anchorage to the bus bar you cannot rely on a snap and breaker to be a back fed main Just one of those code got you FYI things

Under voltage light or is the voltage actually low?

2 check valves per pump, normally they are blow through so a weak pump shouldnt cause a stall, there is also one in line between the filter and IP. its in the hose right by the oil pressure gauge. Not on this series of set but i did have another piece of equipment where a check valve...

Hey now, not only am i going for removal, I am also trying to break a distance record

To me it sounds of starving of fuel

Yes thats the point. The slug seizes up, when the pump is disassembled (except the slug) compressed air in the output can be used to dislodge the slug if a solvent and tapping doesnt work. I have only had a pump badly gummed up once to need to blow it apart.

Knocker loose works wonders. Also compressed air through the outlet can pop it loose

It's a great feature, but comes with the downside that the less observant wouldn't notice only 1 operating pump.

Id say very reliable. I personally have yet to come across one that is a total loss, every inoperable pump I have had my hands on I have been able to clean out and restore to working order.

I use VP fuel jugs and made a custom adapter and pickup tube for the aux fuel.

What I've done in the past when I've had a unknown gummed up blockage somewhere is take fittings apart in certain spots and judge fuel flow based off of how fast the pump is clicking. I usually go for prefilter post filter and at the injection pump. If you look at the fuel line right where...

I just used the aux fuel for a hurricane, it made it a lot easier not having to get in the trailer to refuel

yep If it still fails then theres another issue.

I use hotshots LX4

its normally open and pressure closes it, the TM is testing a failed closed situation, your possible failure is a failing open. Jumping it takes it out of the equation.

Not sure if i missed it, but i dont see a lubrication additive.
