Thank you very much for that last video! That is exactly what mine does. So I will be watching this to see where it heads. On mine I completely bypassed the whole fuel system and ran from a fuel can through a small inline filter into the p[ump to eliminate any and all restrictions and I got...
But what if oil is low and basically the same as an oil light flickering. Fuel on, off,on,off . So it would be starting and shutting off in milliseconds
Walmart uses East Penn batteries and they are very good batteries. I have used them for many years. Also, I have a guy on my g838 forum that sells the top hold downs made especially for the 51R batteries. This is a popular swap in the M151. The 51R has twice the power of the old military 2HN...
I tend to disagree with Guyfang here. If there is fuel leaking out of that fitting, which is under pressure from the pumps, it is not going to cause a lean issue at the pump. Pressure is pushing fuel out so air is not coming is. Now, if that check valve got plugged that could do it. Did you look...
LOL. I also have a Ford diesel, and a Dodge diesel, And a CUCV diesel, and three military diesel gensets. 12 batteries! Tell me about battery poor!!!!!! Those ford batteries are huge. I moved mine to the Dodge for a trip and they are bigger than the dodge batteries, had to do some squeezin'.
By...
I think the numbers on the brackets are just that, P/N for the bracket. The pump number will be on the pump body. But, As Guy says, if it works well in the Aux position then leave it there. But also, as mentioned about the bad part be sure you mark the aux pump as what it came from so you do not...
Two group 24 batteries will do more than just fine. I put the old batteries from my Dodge dually in my 003 and they fit fine. That is massive overkill though. They are Group 65.
Thread sealant does not usually present a problem wit pipe threads, they get tighter the more you thread them in and the thread will cut through the sealant. You can check with an ohm meter to see if you have a good ground. Just go from the metal body of the sender to a clean spot on the engine...
I saw your last post after I posted. You say it does the same thing even free flowing. Have you checked all of the outlet fittings and hose for any restrictions? I have seen rubber hoses delaminate and the flap that falls down inside blocks the line in one direction only. I have seen this in...
When the pump builds pressure it will stop, if it is deadheaded as your is it cannot move the fuel anywhere so it stops. This is perfectly normal for electric impulse pumps. Rotary vane pumps run all the time. If you have flow it should run forever till the batteries die. In actual use if you...
You could just unscrew the solenoid off of the pump and put the inlet line on the pump there and test as you were. This eliminates the solenoid for testing. But again, that inlet line needs to go to the source of the fuel, in the can.
Ok, But you need the Aux in line in the tank of fuel and the aux out line into a can. This is the only way that pump will pump fuel. If the onboard tank is empty then the solenoid should click and allow the pump to pick up fuel. That pump is not tied into the main fuel circuit in any way, it...
I am a bit confused about the line connections. The aux pump will not pump any fuel if it is not connected to and external fuel source. Hooking a line up to the outlet should in no way get fuel out of the pump. Several things here have me confused. The fact you are getting varnish out of the...
Blow out that fuel line form the tank to pumps before hooking up to be sure there is nothing in there that will start the whole problem over again. And are you getting fuel out of the return line with the pumps running and everything hooked up? Will not be a lot but a small trickle back into the...
We have gotten very little snow here but man has it been cold and windy. The wind has been blowing a solid 20-30 mph for well over a week now with gusts over 50 mph.
But are the wires connected to the gauge output or the 110 input to the transducer? I am thinking that since this controller is designed to be used on a Generac set it would sense frequency from the 110 volt output of the genset. In out case the convenience outlet. I seriously doubt they use a...
