So after going through every fuel starvation post I could find on SS for this beast I narrowed things down to the entire fuel system is crap! Well... ...at least mine was.
Kinked lines
Rotted fuel filters
Multiple cracked brass fittings (air leaks)
Broken internals in the lift pump
Corrosion of a ridiculous quantity in the pre-filter
Bad primer
and so on.
So after I replaced/repaired these still no start. I resorted to opening up the inspection panel on the injection pump and had my son crank it over. As I feared, 2 barrels seized. Inside the cab I had noticed that the doghouse wouldn't sit properly at the back of the engine. The metal lip around the opening had been smashed down. It took a lot of curiosity to finally figure out why. It appears that the rack in the injector pump was frozen from the 2 barrels. So apparently someone used a long rod and a hammer to pound on the lever that goes into the side of the governor. This seems to be the cause of the damaged lip around the doghouse opening in the floor. Also, upon moving the lever on the side of the governor, with the inspection panel off of the IP I can see that the rack is not moving back and forth. They clearly broke something in there.
I fix most anything that I run into, but after watching a tear down video of these pumps it was clear to me that I do not have the proper tools to do the job right. I can get by without the proper tools in many situations but from what I've read, this is not something that is very forgiving of mistakes.
I bought a "new old stock" replacement pump BUT...
- It did not come with the o-ring that goes in-between the pump and the timing housing. (Replacement suggested in manual)
- I can't seem to find a gasket online for between the pump and the timing housing. (Replacement suggested in manual)
- I'm reading others say that the timing gear nut torque in the manual is not correct. However, I have not seen anybody post the correct torque spec.
- I also need a source for the shaft key, spring tension washer, the copper fuel line seals/packings and the copper oil supply seals. (Replacement suggested in manual)
Here is a better view of the main seal location:
Now I hope nobody jumps all over me. I just want to say that I have been searching for each of these for hours. I don't know if I'm just not searching correctly, but I'm not coming up with the results. Also, I'm not trying to get anyone to do the legwork for me. I just thought that someone may have already been through this and had some info that would help.
I did find the key number (006888004013) but searches didn't return any for sale.
I'm assuming these would all come in a kit.
Is it just me, or is it crazy that the manual gives part numbers for the tools to use but not the replacement parts in the "initial setup" section?
Any help is very much appreciated.
