Harbor Freight is awesome.. I buy all my disposable rubber gloves there... and my disposable tools too! Sense the sarcasm?? They are fine for cut-off wheels, welding wire and disposable gloves. For a welder spend a little more money and get a Lincoln and unless you are doing strictly sheet...

I agree you should sandblast, however keep 2 things in mind. Conventional sandblasting will warp large flat body panels, so you have to be extremely careful. this is due to heat buildup, if you sandblast in the dark you will see thin sheet metal glow dull red where the gun is pointing. Once...

Are you storing indoors or outdoors? If outdoors, keep covered so rain water doesn't sit on top of them. also, keep up off the ground a little if outdoors to prevent ground contact from rusting the bottom. Lastly, get ready to listen to them banging twice a day if you live where the temp...

At 50-55 Hz it will actually sound quieter and run smoother, but that's probably about the only difference you'll see.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but everyone's "Spares" stash should include a new well nut for the tank ( unless you did the "Ultimate" replacement already ) and a roll of the 3.5mm fuel return line. Every machine will end up needing both of these and they always let go at the least opportune...

I wouldn't say one is better than the other because they are both somewhat problematic.... Just that the square ones are older than the round at least.... Yours is obviously running but I have seen both styles run and move some fuel but not build any pressure. Yes you can interchange between...

Yea, you don't even need the glow plugs at 50F , you have something else going on. Go ahead and verify the glow plug system, but that's not causing your hard starting problem. Which primary fuel pump do you have on it? a square pump or round E1074? While you're checking the fuel system you...

If you have an IR thermometer you can try checking the exhaust temps on each cyl. this can give an indication of a sticky injector. Or you can take the 10mm nuts off the exhaust manifold and lift it up slightly and use a flashlight to see which cylinder is smoking. You can do this with the top...

Out of curiosity, what do you consider "Cold"? The 803a will usually start down into the sub freezing temps without glow plugs. Also, if you run the glow plugs for a few seconds you should feel the intake get warm it it's working. The buzzing noise on the good unit has nothing to do with an...

I agree with Guy, unplug your Aux. pump and see what happens first. IF the float module happens to end up being the problem there are only a handful of components in it. It may be easier to repair than find a replacement, however it is unlikely that the module is causing the breaker to pop. My...

On the engine RPM, once warmed up and it is accelerating out of control, if you push the throttle knob all the way in does it still rev up out of control? If so, take a look at the throttle lever where the cable attaches to the motor. If the curved throttle lever's "step" is all the way counter...

A few thoughts on the GFCI, so you are saying the GFCI button on the front of the warning light panel is tripping, but the circuit breaker ( rocker switch inside control panel ) is not, correct? This means the GFCI is sensing a fault, but the outlet it is not being overloaded. I saw this once...

That's awesome! cool that you found the needle and even better that you're up and running! Nice that it's an ASK unit too. Now the bad news.... I really doubt you will be able to start that 5 hp motor. I've tried starting my 3 hp Sharp milling machine and even a 2 hp lathe with a 002A and the...

Depending on where you got it from it could be perfectly fine or it could be a parts pile. I've found that some locations won't do anything to try to start the machines. If the fluids are drained they don't touch it. Other sites take the time to put oil and filters back on and spend a little...

Hello, the cover I'm talking about is on the left side outer A-frame, to the right and slightly rearward of your previous picture. Just follow the NATO plug's cable. It's just a piece of sheet metal held on by 2 self tapping screws. Today I was working on an M106A3 and it too has the exact same...

Hello, not sure what kind of trailer you are talking about, but.... I can tell you that on the PU-798 ( HMMWV style ) and M116 style trailers there is a set of barrel connectors under a metal cover on the left side of the A-frame. If you remove the cover you will find 2 rows of connectors. You...

Jonathan, On second thought, if you are seeing the back end of the needle with the 1/16" hole in it, that is in the correct orientation. Pointy end ( right hand side in your 2nd picture ) inward like a needle valve and the end with the hole and shoulder ( left hand side in your 2nd picture )...

Humm... Well lets start with the orange ring. That is the thin plastic delivery valve spacer. It will no longer be orange in your machine, but probably more of a brown color, or possible deteriorated and stuck to the metal housing inside. The item you have listed as unknown with the Red square...

Ah, now I see what is happening. You removed the center needle from the "2 Piece" delivery valve assembly. The conical seat and 1/16" hole you are seeing is in fact where the needle seats. You still need to remove the outer piece of the delivery valve ( which may be stuck in place by the...

I'm still a bit confused when you say tiny hole in it. The conical shape you describe should be the end of the plunger, it's slightly rounded and about the diameter of a pencil, but there is no hole in it. Unless it's just a speck of something on it? You should be seeing just the recessed end...
