All of a sudden my old reliable 882 won't stay running in the "on" position of the key. It will start and run in the "crank" position but as soon as you release the key to the "run" position it shuts right off. Any help appreciated.

Here is a rare photograph that I have in my book of a pre production 3-53 Detroit diesel engine for the Gama Goat. Can you spot the one item that is different from the production engine ?
I thought I would post my findings that it may help some one in the future. Voltage went high on my MEP-003A, 160+ VAC. Hz reading was correct but I had no control over the voltage using the voltage adjust and % load meter and voltage meter were not working. My initial thought was bad voltage...
Dave came to the rescue for me when I needed some help from the UK. His attention to detail and timeliness was amazing, could not ask for a better friend, thanks Dave:grin:.
Looking for help getting 6 Gama Goat tires from SLC Utah to Back East, destination is Maine. I would be happy just to get them to MA area. They are 40"x12" and weigh about 85lbs each. SS express or if you are a shipper I would be interested and I am not in a hurry, if it takes a month or two...
I am trying to prime my transfer case oil pump, following the instructions in the TM. I can pull a steady flow of oil through with a suction gun but all I can get by manually actuating the pump is a dribble. Is this normal or should I be able to get a steady flow manually?
Thanks
So I dug out a pair of MEP003a's from storage that have been sitting out for quite a while, trying to get one running while I repair my other set. Did the usual fuel system clean out, new filters etc. I have fuel at the injector pump but none being sent to the injector lines. I checked to...
Gen set worked in the AM, started in the PM and voltage went high, 160v AC but still rock solid 60Hz. It's been running my off grid home for several weeks while my primary set is being repaired. Swapped out the voltage regulator in another set and that tests out fine. Any suggestions what to...
My brother took a fisher plow set up off his 880 a few years ago. I am now fitting it to my 880 before the impending Maine snow hits. Having problems trying to figure out how this plow pump bracket fits to the engine. I have power steering as seen in the last picture, this is the same power...
Is any one making the 24v battery charging regulator after market or are just originals available? The last one I bought was from Erik's and he shows out of stock.
Thanks
My 3-53 is a bit stuck from sitting for 15 years so I pulled the injectors to pour some oil in. They are marked M65, the rack's on them are pretty well stuck so I figure I may replace them while they are out. I have read that replacing them with an N50 is the best option, opinions please.
Thanks
This will be the official restoration thread of the newly acquired M561 I posted about in an earlier thread. I was going to get it on the way to the Weare, NH rally but I just could not wait. I headed out Thursday at midnight and arrived in NY at 07:30 Friday Morning. Took about 6 hours of...
