Your oil pressure is fine, normally it will be anywhere from 25-30 on an engine with some hours to almost pegged high on a newer or recently rebuilt motor.
Only be concerned with engine RPM right now.
It's hard to see, but I think your droop adjustment is too high up on the thread, that will...
Ok, I sent the video to my phone and was able to view. So Hz gage appears pegged at 65.
What happens if you rotate the black throttle knob to the right, or squeeze in on the center button and push the knob in a bit? are you getting any RPM change from the throttle knob?
take a look at the end of...
I can't access the video, possibly a firewall issue here at work, PM sent with my address.
You will want the droop adjustment to be down near the bottom, about 1/2" up from the bottom for a starting point. 1/2 way up the thread is way way too high.
I'm confused a little, not sure what you mean by hold throttle down ( increase throttle ) moving the throttle linkage up at the pump increases throttle. When you say "Full Bore" are you getting Hz readings on the gage? You always want to run the machine at just over 1800 rpm = 61.5 Hz on the...
If you didn't already purchase, check Mayi diesel. They have good prices.
Maybe check the timing cover to see if there is a notch on the pulley and a mark on the cover. If so, just make it so they a somewhat out of alignment.
You could also pull an injector and stick a wire in the hole to feel...
Hello, First thing I would try is exercising the AC selector switch ( always with the generator shut off ) switch it back and forth several times. You can also remove the side cover from the AC reconnect box, loosen the nuts on the long rods holding the switch assembly together and spray...
Yes, Joseph is correct you can simply turn the crank so that none of the rod journals are straight up.
After you tighten the rocker arms back down, leave it for at least an hour before you crank the motor at all.
The lifters need time to settle down do that your valves don't hit again. Think the...
I'll take some more pics this weekend, hopefully I will have a chance to unload it if the sun ever comes out again!
There is a tag on the side with some info, I believe it said this was some kind of radio antenna setup maybe?
The cage and cord reels look like they were never used, not even a...
I thought CVT1 as well, but he tested it and said it checked out OK, unless it has an intermittent problem? Guyfang is correct in that the windings through the CT assy. will be 3 wraps Vs 4 wraps, but testing with one from a 002A as-is will still work testing purposes.
This is surely a long shot, but how long are you holding the start switch after you start the machine? I've only worked on one 804 but have seen ( by others ) that you normally have to hold the switch in the start position an extremely long time ( as compared to the mechanical governor...
SUCCESS! Recovery went off without a hitch. We even got back to the ferry just in time to catch the 1 hour earlier boat and were back in CT by 12:30.
Trailer brakes were unlocked and she rolls fine. Pretty heavy, but my friend Dave's truck had no problem pulling or stopping. For sanity and...
As an option I have a couple parts machines ( MEP-002A's) I just bought, if you want, I can help with a linear reactor, CVT1 or even an AC reconnect box, if you want to either swap it out and test or buy and replace anything.
I'm open to letting you borrow parts to test with ( just pay for...
Thanks for the info and offer. Tomorrow 6:00am, catching the ferry in New London. This trailer has 2 MEP-003A gens up front and some kind of cord reels out back. I'm expecting tongue weight and overall trailer weight to be pretty significant in the current config.
Bringing a couple different...
Excellent advise everyone, thank you. I usually go pretty well prepared to all recoveries so this should be fine.
I'll be bringing my normal set of tools, straps, tape, zip ties.... air tank, magnetic lights etc.
Will be towing with a friend's Ram 3500 Dually and plan to drive from RI to Long...
Could you guys give me a little insight into the 1061 brake system, I will be going to Long Island to recover one next week.
I thought the air over hydraulic systems leave the brakes off when no air is supplied, like the M103 and older gen trailers?
I won't have air on my recovery vehicle, so...
I 2nd that motion! Check your throttle linkage as well, if it seems stuck spend a little time on the IP plunger before you crank it. I've had good luck removing the fuel line and hooking up a fitting and hose, mount it upwards and fill with carb. clean or lacquer thinner and let it sit a few...
Like everyone said, clean it and start it, watch for leak. If it appears to be flinging oil onto the gen. doors etc. its probably the crank seal behind the crank pulley.
If so, its easy to fix. the seal goes into the front cover from the outside, just remove the lower pulley ( left hand thread...
