Another poster had mentioned it also somewhere. I had the rocker cover off and was watching the valve closure for #1. Experience is a valuable teacher..... David

....Do I need to be looking for two #20A clips? David

Working on pulling the ip apart and trying to follow the TM. My pump seems different with item #20A and #21. I don't have the split rings that I can see. Please see picture. Without forcing anything I have not made much progress. Item #35 (spacer) was folded up as installed. Have done some...

Jerry, Pulled the injection lines off the ip. Primed and tried to start. Very little fuel coming out of the injection ports (read drop or two). Ip is now sitting on the bench..... The flywheel pointer was painted in and is straight. Checked the flywheel markings again and all I see is "A...

Jimc, Thanks, will do this week when I get a chance. David

storeman, I see you are in Mathews County-went by your way a couple of weeks ago to Corolla, NC. Had a nice quiet week at the beach before the crowds come. Nice area. David

storeman, Kind of wondered on the timing issue. Will the button thickness being out make the timing out that far on the flywheel? Also, with the button being off the injectors still should be injecting fuel correct? Just out of time. While trying to start, I had no smoke, so I am looking at...

Jimc, Yes, I had fuel returning to the tank. Going to look everything over tomorrow from a different angle. Have no smoke so fuel is not getting to the cylinders (white or otherwise). Once I figure this out, I have another 002a in the same condition just waiting. Got tired of buying laquer...

storeman, I set the drill bit but in the hole/groove and had to adjust back to the pc markings on the flywheel. Don't know how that happened, but had to do that several times. Once I got close on flow tests, I only had to move a tooth or two to make it right. I disconnected the glow plug to...

I think we have some progress. After working on the ip pump this morning, if freed up all at once. I did end up spraying penetrating oil in all openings I could find. Set the timing by the first method, then checked with the flow test and the pump was 90 degrees out. Rechecked and again I...

gimpyrobb-Many thanks for the offer. I may have to go into the ip pump. I was hoping that flushing it with MMO would help some. Don't think the fuel shutoff is opening at all. As soon as the pump fills the ip up, the pump deadheads and stalls. No flow. Going to let it sit a day or so while I...

1800 diesel reply 1800 diesel reply-Thanks for the info. The tires and rims are prob the best thing on the trailer. David

They are more worn from exposure than running. Inside of the crankcase is spotless. Picked up a spool of hose this afternoon and plan to use the fittings for all new fuel hoses. Now if I can just get the ip cleaned up. The center button is pushed in all the way. I was surprised how easily...

Moved from new member section: As my two new 002a's came as a light plant, they were both mounted on a M103-A3 trailer. Getting them off was fun... I won't go into detail.:smile: Did find the Army log books and they were last inspected in 1986. I am guessing that the hour meters showing...

Going to switch to the generator section for posts. David

Today's work: As my two 002a's came as a light plant, they were both mounted on a M103-A3 trailer. Getting them off was fun... I won't go into detail.:) Did find the Army log books and they were last inspected in 1986. I am guessing that the hour meters showing 8 and 9 hours could possibly...

Well, I picked up the two 002a's up today. After the 10 hour round trip, didn't have much time to check them out. What I did notice is that they seem to be in decent condition. Mostly rust and faded paint from exposure. They are marked as reserve units. Opened electrical panels and inside...

Hello to all. New member here from Page County, VA. If all goes well, I will pick up two 002A's on Wednesday in New Castle, DE. Have read most all posts and am eager to get started. Have some experience on diesels (Dodge 5.9, and Kubotas). First with the MEP's. Regards to all, David :)
