Verified Hydraulic Head works as I get air flow and fuel flow when I push it through. I did pencil test so I know the plunger/button works. Verified Booster Pump is spinning cause I disconnected the “out” and as I crank it it spits fuel out. Verified timing. Flushed system out so I have a nice...

Well my final test I am gonna do before deciding it is the HH just locked up and frozen is to verify not just air or pushed fuel through the booster pump but to disconnect the OUT of the Booster Pump and crank it, see if it pushes through fuel. If it does not, then that booster was put in wrong...

Well aside from it being a Carter and a 24V and a 45-60 PSI, I have no idea if it’s correct but am buying it anyway to have it tomorrow. Would it be recommended to have it near tank pushing or near engine pulling diesel?

i can check this for sure, but I rebuilt it last year and it’s been driving…. This last time all I did was put the new gasket in… I did not tear down the booster pump. Well when I pushed fuel from the tank to the IN of the Hydraulic Head, and got fluid, that means that there is flow through the...

Correct. Last year I took out the IP and the HH. I “rebuilt” both and out all new O Rings on HH as well as where the fuel shut off connects, the smaller O Rings etc. I did this then because I was getting fuel in my oil. This more recent event was because I had fuel leaking out of bottom of...

Ugh. Alright so I did the pencil trick. Old lady Linda next door had to push the button while I looked. that pencil goes up and down like a beautifully buttered whatever. I have to say, the button is good?

Alright, step one. I HAVE air going in IP HH and air pressure coming out the low pressure “left side” of the HH. So it’s not blocked. Being I have air flow, what does this help us with for the next step?

Hey now! I took pictures of everything before I took off. That tooth is, when looking at it, 1 tooth off to the right!!! But I’ll put some sort of finale together and talk to it H.A.L style.

I feel like I have over complicated this. Every response has been helpful and I am grateful but I am such a literal person and people have different methods etc and so I just get so into my head. I am just gonna make sure it's timed, verify I have air flow coming out or if any flow at all...

I guess what confuses me is, what does air pressure or no air pressure mean? I have yet to check for 2 or so days cause of work but I did make an adapter that connects my air compressor air to the fuel line going in the HH. When I push air in there, with engine off, is when I can see where air...

As long as 1-7 are correct.

Alright so, I will do my best to put these tributaries of data into a step by step procedure. Do not hit your forehead with your hand if I am simply not grasping it. Mind you, I will be doing the 2 tests first; I wanna verify air pressure coming OUT of the HH on the overflow assembly ( If I get...

Man I feel I am gonna have better luck with this if I just take the IP off and then worry about the timing when I put the IP back in, instead of wondering if I am the correct stroke while it is all in there. The engine is currently at the correct harmonic notch, and I see the white tooth on IP...

Alright, so not to confuse myself then.. As long as I see the red tooth as center as I can as well as white notch in window, that would be sufficient?

Well of what you are suggesting is my whole issue is not enough fuel "pressure" and the only way to resolve this is to replace the fuel pump, I am screwed. As I mentioned it has 40 gallons in it and the bed was lowered to 6" clearance so I would need to drain the tank and take out the tank to...

Well if my memory serves me at all, I know the engine needs to be timed right in order for the head to come out. I know TDC is 1 of 2 strokes so if I align harmonic balancer correctly, and if I see white notch on IP window and then Red tooth in HH then that is timed right. I then should be able...

Your not meaning I have to take the whole HH off so you? How would I possibly get the quill shaft back in when the IP is at an angle that makes it even more impossible. Ugh. I thought it was just take off the top center JH bolt and pull it out and put a new one in

I could say that possibly, though of no memorable incident, that when I set the IP down it made have tipped over. Again nothing where I was like “NOOO What did I Do?!” But maybe enough for that plunger button to offset or whatever. Well I don’t know if it’s my truck but I’m tellin’ you, you...

Well this is a lot to wake up to reading as well as added possibilities. So first and foremost…. It is a bobbed deuce and where a normal deuce had like 1.5’ or so on top of the fuel tank to work on etc. mine has been lowered to 6” or so. That current in tank fuel tank ain’t coming out. It’s got...
