For some reason, these sets do not have good ground. Thats why the fuel pumps have the extra star washers.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I always use PB Blaster liberally days before I attempt to remove glow plugs or intake heaters. I always reinstall them using Copper anti-seize.The heater was very hard to unscrew from the head and very hard to screw back in as well. The other 3 came out and went back in very smoothly. The hard one was the last cylinder furtherest from the fan.
Be careful using copper on aluminum. They dont play well together.I always use PB Blaster liberally days before I attempt to remove glow plugs or intake heaters. I always reinstall them using Copper anti-seize.
Yep, I understand galvanic corrosion and your comment got me to wondering if it really should be used on any parts in contact with aluminum. Went out to shop and looked on the Permatex bottle and it said: "Suggested Applications: Spark plug threads installed in aluminum, exhaust manifold bolts, engine bolts, oxygen sensors, knock sensors, thermostat housing bolts, and fuel filter fittings."Be careful using copper on aluminum.

Yes it activates the solenoid. Sometimes the solenoid can hang up even though I keep it and the linkage lubricated. If the genset doesn't start firing, I release the start switch and manually exercise the solenoid up and down and then attempt a start.when you move the start switch to the prime/run position, should this activate the start/stop solenoid?
No, Moving the switch to start / run does NOT activate the fuel solenoid.Yes it activates the solenoid. Sometimes the solenoid can hang up even though I keep it and the linkage lubricated.

I stand corrected. I was positive I was correct until I went out to my genset and found that you are correct. Thanks for correcting me.No, Moving the switch to start / run does NOT activate the fuel solenoid.
The solenoid will not pull in until you turn the switch to the CRANK position.
Once you release the switch from cranking ( if it didn't start ) the solenoid will also stay pulled in for a period of time before it releases.
