Does the booster pump do anything but supply pressure to the manifold flame heater?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I believe it “boosts” fuel pressure higher to the injection pump, iirc.Does the booster pump do anything but supply pressure to the manifold flame heater?
I think he was referring to the booster pump inside the main injection pumpReplace your fuel filters and it will become apparent why the in tank pump is needed.
OOPS sorry.I think he was referring to the booster pump inside the main injection pump
Drain your oil, bypass fdc, remove flame heater, let oil drain until it won’t drain anymore then turn power switch on for 1 minute. DONT crank engine, turn switch off and see if fuel is pouring out of your oil drain holes and report backWell I did the fdc delete because I'm making oil. I guess I'll order the seal kit for the booster pump. The flame heater will most likely be removed in the process. If I end up in hydraulic head land I'm screwed. My back and legs are keeping the pill companies solid so if I sound like I'm on drugs its because I'm on drugs! Tom/pigpen60
Totally agree !! You will have to move the engine from the frame to pull out the booster pump. A lot of work. There are a ton of posts on removing and installing the injection pump here. Just follow the procedures and you'll be fine.Honestly, pull the ip if you need to do booster pump work. Imho, its harder to get to than the hyd head.
That should work.OK, Will do! Got a side job but quick as its out I'll start. So I need AMBAC KT9062 and the HH o-ring kit. Correct?
