This is getting mind blowing. With everything that has been checked it should start. Someone said the tappet cam being worn but I do not know and it would take a lot to wear it out but it can not be ruled out. I posted in a thread where I measured how much the plunger could move by checking...

When I did have the 7155 I would have never put in ATF. Artic conditions the heater in your post I assume was used. In the manual for the 7155 it said to help limber up the oil some was to wait for air pressure to built after first start or if you held air pressure overnight enough to keep the...

Well if the lower end of the IP is working why pay to just have it pulled apart at that price and gaskets changed when the problem could be in the Head. If you checked the fuel control unit assembly for free movement and it is working as it should and going from 7 when off to 4 shut off when...

Sure you are doing it but thought I would ask. Does doing the running gears warm up help at all. That is where after air pressure is built up Trans. in neutral then push in the side panel air control button and do regular truck warm up.

Quill shaft makes the plunger go round and round, plunger goes up and down if it matters.

Not bad? I would not kick it out of my living room for peeing on my carpet. Has my vote.

Me still thinking and brain starting to hurt. OK the overflow valve is on the return side of the head. That helps to maintain the fuel pressure that the booster puts out. Easy check remove cap do not loose spring and remove valve. Turn on in tank check for trash and check small hole that is in...

Pinched line start looking and that copper line from primary to rubber IP maybe first. Air maybe rubber hose in tank. I feel its wanting to run so keep going with the adventure.

Yea congrats on the win and I hope the wife does not leave you waking her up at 3 am.

Last post was long I know. I am not saying you have to drive around bumping the governor on every shift just wondering if the EGT would have come down with rpm increase. Yea if I remember 1850 1950 rpm torque and HP met so to me that is the sweet spot for when we are up to speed and happily...

Well we really don't not have a rack when I think of a rack system even though the TM calls it that. When I think of an older Detroit that has a separate governor tied to a bar and that bar controls each injector. From there we would set the rack adjusting every injector so the same amount of...

Just again spit balling. Know you said no fuel coming out of head but wonder if we / you should be looking at injectors. We need two hole tips and popping at least 3500psi.

Plan on going. Anyone need Med. tow bar with all the goodies. NOS springer seat top with frame work . Front windshields Deuce, 809 or M37. Might bring some Septer fuel cans with metal base and new straps.

Just wish I had a old IP to play with. Most of the head replacement I have done same thing just check fuel control unit screws for binding fuel control and loosen as needed. Now I have never checked the gap between fuel control plate and the arm that is held on by the end nut. TM 9- page 3-35...

Just a thought have you checked the air filter? In most cases we can see higher temps if the rpm are low and we can not get that hot charge out quick enough. Yea 1150 is a little hot for 2000 rpm but wondering if it would have come down if you went to 2500. If increasing rpm does not bring them...

Yep that was my fault when we removed the head I should have just taken your head with me home and pulled it completely apart and good cleaning. Since then we have become GOOD friends and I regret not taking charge of the head and it being less work for both of us but we got it running.

Yes you will get fuel out of the top center cap but delivery valve could be stuck open. You said your good there. Timing looks spot on. As for the pin / fuel control unit getting into the sleeve in most cases it is not a problem. That saying the sleeve is floating free and sitting on the bottom...

Even though we do not have to bleed the injectors on the Deuce would seem like if the Head was getting any flow of fuel you should have gotten something when you cracked the injectors. I have started and it idled without the secondary fuel filter over pressure valve in the truck. Showing we do...
