Can someone give me a little "electric motor 101" on how the motion transfers from the top-half of the in-tank pump to the bottom half? On page 5 you can see pics of both my and DieselBob's pumps disassembled. In both cases there's a black disc (magnet?) exposed and that's pretty much it...

Tagging in for your updates.

I've got the pump assembly in pieces on the workbench. Going to try bringing in a couple batteries off the boat, wire them up 24v and test out the pump after a few blasts with carb cleaner to see if I can figure out what is going on.

What are the brushes and how can I tell if they're bad? I can sure hear it running in the tank but it's not pumping fuel... I also see plenty of other threads where people have these pumps apart but not how they got that way.

There's not anything (I can find) in the TM about taking apart the pump motor itself. I've got the bottom end of my pump off (4 screws). Further disassembly from this point is not obvious. There are 2 rivets in the bottom plate (the one with the little round screen). The black disc on top (I...

Well, got the pump out and no, the bottom screen is not off. It's been either screwed or riveted in place, I didn't take time to determine which yet. So something else is at work with mine. It's sitting in a coffee can dripping out right now, and I'm taping garbage bags over the hole in the tank...

Well, good news to start off: I disconnected the fuel line and flipped on the acc. switch and nada. I can sure hear it running (kinda loud and rough compared to usual) but nothing is coming out, not a drop. Hopefully my issue is the same as the OP of this thread. But with about 60-65% WMO in...

Fixed it for you. :razz:

Got my set from comdiver today--very well made and did the trick in no time! Thanks! (unfortunately now I'm fighting a fuel gremlin...) aua

My truck has NEVER failed to start after 1-2 cranks until today. I just started running WMO filtered through a 5-micron filter. My tank is currently about 60-65% WMO the rest diesel and a little gas. Opened the draincocks at the secondary and final filters--NOTHING. Even with the accessory...

I'm sorry guys, I offered them here before I really got a close look at them. They were shot, not worth saving. Sorry.

Welcome--nice truck! Personally I consider 45-48 to be "top speed" and keep the revs under 2,200. I keep reading how these engines were designed for farm tractors and I like my rotating gear to stay inside the block. Let the missus stop at every outlet mall then drive 70 until she catches up to...

Comdiver's ad is re-listed now. Thanks!

My guess is you have few options: 1. Green tape 2. Find someone with a broken unit but good lens 3. New unit

Jack shaft? Is this a nickname for something else? Not a term I've heard before...

All gone. :( I'm looking for a set now...talking to a local sheet metal shop but they couldn't make sense of the pdf...

Would WMO add sulfur? I don't know if that would show anything on the stack swab or not. I checked KY law this morning and all I see is a tax CREDIT for biodiesel, but really nothing for WMO (for or against).

I use Irfanview for all my picture viewing and cropping. It's free shareware available for download, I've been using it for years (and they do update it from time to time).
