Sweet plug outlet mount!

Agreed... that noise sounds like insufficient voltage to keep the preheat solenoid closed and also insufficient to close the start relay. If you have a volt meter, check the battery voltages, but I bet at least 1 of them is bad.

Try putting a jumper wire across the connector for the temp switch and see if that keeps it running. If you still have issues with it shutting down, leave the jumper wires on the machine for a while and see if it stays running. It sounds like your DCVR is working, but 25V is very low, it...

If you have access to a lathe, what I did was make a dummy injector body that is actually a compression gage adapter. Remove injector, install the adapter in it's place and the adapter accepts the compression gage. I used an 0-ring set into a groove on the bottom instead of the copper injector...

Update: John pulled out his IP and sent it up to me. I took it apart today and found exactly what I expected and MORE! Not only was the plunger guide split in half, but the end of the throttle lever ( Control unit ) was snapped off inside the pump housing. Also, the plunger sleeve was fairly...

Yes, I bet it would have a hard time running on 1 cyl, but it may run. It definitely won't run very well. As you plug in more injectors just see how it reacts. If you see evidence of unburned fuel in the exhaust or a runaway situation you will know you are closing in on the problem cylinder...

You are correct, I mis-read where you took the intake hose off. I didn't realize it was off the intake not air cleaner, so yes.... you have eliminated the turbo from the equation. Your thinking about the injectors just dumping fuel is a definite possibility. Unfortunately I'm not experienced...

Could you give us some background info on your 1070, including hours etc? I have no experience with your model, but in general a run away diesel needs to be receiving a fuel source that is uncontrolled by the machines control systems. First thing that comes to mind is an oil leak feeding into...

Strange, I just looked and it still shows at .87 ?? if you scroll down there are many purolator and ultra power for the $1.25 range. I was searching under 85 BMW 318i That seems to give better results than looking up the filter PN. itself.

You could probably have your radiator re-cored by a local shop if need be. What's wrong with yours?

Funny story... I buy most of my filters from Rock Auto. If you poke around a bit on their website other cross references will come up. Turns out the same filter fits a mid-80's BMW and it came up with a listing for a Parts master filter with the same PN as WIX that was on sale for $1.15 ea...

Think of it this way... if the fuel solenoid is attached and working correctly you have to have power to it for the machine to run. Power pulls the solenoid in and pulls the linkage towards the control panel. To shut the gen off the power to the solenoid is cut which kills the magnetic force...

Simple.... on an 002 / 003, idling will overload the transistors on the voltage regulator and damage the regulator. Seen it plenty of times. on the 802/803 I'm not sure if they are as prone to VR damage from idling, but not looking to take a chance to find out! Just start it up at 1800 to...

If you're looking at -30F an Arctic heater kit is probably a must. If you decide to go with one shoot me a PM, I have one available. as for the 40-50 year old generator.... WHAT?? they only started making the 802 28 years ago and I'm sure he isn't looking at the OLDEST one he can find! rofl...

Mr4BtTahoe, could you please provide your contact's info at Ambac? I called today and was told by Heather , "Unfortunately we no longer sell to the public" She knows I have bought direct before but said I have to go through an authorized dealer from now on. I would like to try going through...

Ok, Text message sent. Let's see what you have going on there!

Yes, that is possible if your pump is really worn or also if the injectors are stuck closed. If you didn't get any fuel out of the #1 line while doing the flow test, something is wrong. Crack the line going into the IP and turn pumps on. If you have fuel then the IP must be bad. If you don't...

First engine read the TM and get a bit familiar with the process, then my method is to remove all the fuel lines and injector lines, including the return hose and hard return line from the injectors. Get the wiring harness out of your way and remove the throttle linkage as well. Next remove the...

If you are comfortable pulling it out you can mail it to me and I can rebuild it for you. I can also talk you through proper steps to remove it as Guy mentioned, proper removal will save you a lot of headaches!

This is what I thought you would find. I believe your plunger guide has skipped and is now either 90* , 180* or 270* out of whack ( the shape of the guide allows the plunger to skip in 90* increments if it doesn't split in half ) If you find you have good flow to the pump but it totally fails...
