So didn't even get out of the battery box and already found this... top stud had lots of burn evidence and the lock washer is welded shut, also seems like it was cross threaded. Bottom cracked I'm assuming it's not supposed to look like that? lol.
whelp, fix one problem find another, it seems that there is either a draw issue or starter issue, or both. When I turned the lights on and cranked, they flickered on and off rather than just dimming. so tomorrow I'll be going through my lines and cleaning connectors, grounds and checking the...
The guy at oreillys said that a potential reason for the batteries draining out so fast after the first time could be that they don't hold the quick charge as well as slow charge.
Headed to pick them up I'll keep yall posted
Hey guys, thank you for all the help, figured i'd drop an update.
the guy from the shop suggested something and I can't believe i didnt think to check THIS. but..
He said to check the solenoid WHILE CRANKING. Its so simple. IF the charge is dropping while I crank for whatever reason, then its...
Funny thing is, just did that last week, came home with brand new set. Getting them swapped again today so I'll have 2 new Friday but if these follow the pattern I'm gonna get refund and change brands.
ill check that later today, my batteries keep dying after two or three 10sec crank after charging all night.
they are 750cca but i dont know yet if they are just garbage batteries or if that's something else i'm gonna have to fix later.
previous ip was def. siezed, at least the fuel shutoff was, the solenoid broke trying to move it. it had sat for a while and had all kinds of crap in the fuel.
that was my first thought but i pulled and tested it, even double checked ground. its 24v and works. even had a buddy turn to run so i could listen for the click.
never knew about the 90 sec.... youd think they would've trained us on that...probly explains why they were always breaking down..lol.
how would I do that?
Reinstallation there was only one way to do it which required me to turn the engine to install all 3 bolts. (which I did manage to screw up the first time by putting the pin in the bolt hole but wouldn't turn until I corrected the problem. So it is turning with the engine if...
Hey guys, so heres whats happening. Installed a new fuel injector pump. I have fuel flowing all the way to the pump. If I remove to top hose and crank fuel will squirt out. Fuel shutoff solenoid is working with 24v. First night of installation I had fuel, but since then nothing.
I was told to...
well, the outside is very pretty. Yeah, i'd bet on there being more than water in there, lol. but on the plus side, you get to be creative with what you put in it now.
Just make sure to check all your lines, Mine actually started the day I got it. Ran for 30 min. (still not sure how). But the fuel was old and filled with algea, my injector and fuel shutoff valve were all gummed up and solenoid tried so hard to move it it broke. Before you swap the whole...
Don't give up. Sometimes you get lucky. I set a max of $6k, after 2 months finally won...but had accidentally bid on one that didnt run (yes, i'm an idiot and didn't double check my wishlist) . Only thing wrong with it was basic maintenance ( filters, glow plugs, bad fuel) and Fuel injector...
New to registering them myself, DMV said they had to verify it from the 3 locations. So I guess he's gonna be learning something too when I get the paperwork in..LOL.
