The last one I had seized, I had to soak in gunk carb cleaner (it was getting rebuilt anyway) but it was a nightmare getting unstuck

The additional hash marks are for timing the button with the flow method those tell you how many button sizes you need to go bigger or smaller. Sounds like you found the timing groove in the gear so yes you are ready to remove it
One company I worked for kept them hot at all times. Any time you'd touch them they were around 120 degrees. They also would preemptively start them every lightning storm. It was cheaper than an outage.
For perspective, it was a water plant, so if their output dropped below a set pressure, it...
The volt meter is reading the actual voltage. Check your selector knob there are 3 phase positions and single phase positions. If the set is in 3 phase and you are using the single selection it won't work
The 180 out comes in the play because the flywheel turns twice for every revolution of the injection pump so you can be lined up at PC but it's 180° out on the injection pump because it's not in the compression stroke
If you end up pulling the injection pump and the alignment groove is on the...
Okay this is super easy take the valve cover off and look at the rockers as close to the blower as possible the closest 2. Use a 5/8 socket on a ratchet to turn the blower wheel clockwise very slowly and observe the rockers when they are both in the same position you are on the compression...
No worries, the reason the manifold heater gets away with it is due to them both being isolated from chassis, then jumped.
There are a few ways to make it work but if the proper parts are available then there's no sense in rigging it. If you have an overwhelming need to rig it let me...
Knocker loose for sure
Timing, yes and no. Button, shouldn't have to, pc mark yes. Be sure you are on compression of cyl 1 of you rely just on the PC mark you have a 50% chance (Murphy says 100%) you'll end up 180 out
If you are sending the injectors out remove them and send them...
Something is open. Since the reconnecting board is where the head gets terminated, it's either on the back side of the board or in the head. Check the wiring from the head (look for 12 large wires). Follow them from the head to the board. Check for damage for a bad connection on the...
There are diodes but they are on the rotor, their failure would not cause a loss of 1 leg.
Check it at the voltage reconnecton board. Let me know what you have between the following:
T1 to T2
T2 to T3
T3 to T1
T1 to T12
T2 to T12
T3 to T12
I assume you have a multi meter and are comfortable...
That's not how it works.
In general, an Ave only needs to see voltage and it regulates the voltage by adjusting the magnetic field. The windings all see the same field and create voltage. Where are you metering it? There may be a bad connection between the head and that point or you have a bad...
I had a need to replace the blower wheel my donor motor was missing a blade after breaking my gear puller trying to get it off I decided to go big. My new toy is a 12-in 15 ton hydraulic gear puller I'm quite happy with the results minus the ringing in my ears from the bang it made when it...
