Yes sir I have a micrometer, I'll get it sorted in the next few days... I remembered a post I came across that had the info readily available regarding thread info and was hoping someone remembered that post and would link me to it. The search on here is fairly decent, but I'm having a bit of...
The photo of the pump assembly doesn't show either of the sensors listed. I took a logical guess that ones for the gauge and the other is for a high temp shut off. I'll dig some more into the other tms and see what I can come up with. Green like the money I work hard for, I don't drink, do...
Looking through the TMs, it does not show the info for the sensors (1, 1 prong thin sensor | 1, 2 prong thicker sensor). I bought an onan water pump 751-41022, and neither of the OEM sensors thread into the new water pump. I found a post on here some weeks back, but I can't seem to find it now...
I've got the same sending unit here arrived in the mail earlier today. I'll be working on the fuel system once I get the cooling system buttoned back up. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
Radiator is in good shape. The rad cap is loose, pretty sure there's something wrong with the cap, but I'll address that once I get this pump back together. The hoses do have the metal inside, they were full of goop, but cleaned up nicely. I just ran into another problem. This water pump...
Well, the coolant drain valve and reducer were plugged and packed with crud. Got that cleaned up, did a lil painting, nothing fancy. Got the backing plate for the water pump cleaned up, I'll hit it with some etching primer and forest green paint and let it sit for a day. Got the collar apart...
Yeah, I removed the hose before I opened the valve, and nothing came out. Heading back to wrench so I'll get er cleaned up, thanks again for your time!
This valve on the front of the mid block... I would think this is the coolant drain. If nothing comes out of it when I was flushing, chances are its clogged up eh? I'm considering removing it and cleanin it all up.
Just to clarify, the piece that the o rings sit on, 16.. that is removable from part 13? Is the 2nd o ring sitting inside the 1/4 inch plate on the collar? I just want to be sure before I start tapping on it to get it loose.
Part 16... is this collar removable from part 13? I see the old red o ring on the engine side 15, but I don't see the front water pump side o ring. Does the front o ring sit on the water pump side, just inside the gasket and mount to the rear of the pump? This cooling system is/was really bad.
Thank you for the help. I ordered some of the 3.5mm ID diesel fuel return cloth outer, rubber inner stuff that was suggested in another thread. It won't be here till Monday, as well as some of those same oem type clamps. I've got plenty to do, that's for sure!
Spent some time on the 803a today. Entire cooling system was gooey and rusty. Anyone have a product recommendation that works to clean up the cooling ports? The backing plate that the water pump sits on is pitted to hell and back but I'm fairly certain the mating areas are fine. Plate's...
Thank you! I gotta tell you guys.. very thankful to all the responses here. Finding out SS is a great community, I feel like its 2008 internet all over again! :)
I came across this thread as I'm working on getting my fuel gauge working. Instead of adding a spacer, couldn't I just buy an 8 inch sender VS a 8.5 inch?
