Guy, I had a plugged line take out both pumps. It was actually a plugged filter in pump two. Pump two quit working probably due to heat from running dry, it just bound up. Pump one did not go bad but did not run since it was blocked by pump two. A good cleaning of both pumps AND the fuel tank...

Two things, One is we are NOT dealing with AC power but DC power and two, Wikipedia is not exactly the most dependable source of knowledge out there. When I had my shop one of my specialties was automotive electrical so I got to see my share of corroded wiring. This was before glue sealed crimp...

Evvy, Have you read this thread from the beginning? The very first post was the OP asking for help diagnosing his fuel pumps which are NOT working! So he KNOWS the engine is not getting any fuel and that is why he is here. Please give him a chance to solve that issue first. And I realize you are...

If you are talking about the filters the failure mode is they simply stop passing voltage. They are a capacitor.

To remove the filter cut the wire and strip back the ends and use a marine heat shrink and glue filled butt connector. Once crimped and heated it will be sealed for life.

The rubber connectors do pull apart but you will probably have to twist them a bit to get them going. My guess is that one of the pumps is probably gummed up and that is why it is not running. These pumps are pretty robust and seldom go bad. It does happen but more often they stop working due...

If you follow those wires back from the pumps there should be rubber Packard connectors on them a couple feet back at the most. I have never seen pumps hardwired in.

Ok, I went back through the posts and where I thought it said codes it was stating "Fault lights" . That was what got me on the computer path. I am not familiar with the 800 series since when I was looking at them they were just too expensive. Another of my things about "Surplus". Surplus items...

TQG's? Not an acronym I am familiar with but if you are talking about the 802 series they have LED screens don't they? Don't they have microprocessors controlling those screens and the functions those screens provide? I saw back in the beginning of the thread someone asked if there were any...

Are they still demilling these sets by cutting wires and such like they used to do with the older 002 and 003 series? Or do they just flat out sell them without worrying about that anymore? I stopped being interested in them once they went to computer controls. To me, the whole idea of military...

Here is the problem, When you leave out steps you have done you leave us in the dark. We have no idea if that step helped or harmed. If the manual says that the dead crank switch only cranks but does not start the engine but you are saying it does start the engine than it sounds to me like those...

In your typing you tend to leave out entire words so that makes following your conversations hard. But from what you have said like the part about the two wires on the o/p sensor and asking if it were just a ground makes me wonder if you have even looked at a wiring diagram? And if not how did...

The ORIGINAL post said it would start and then shut down when switch was released. I also noticed he now says it will not crank. Getting confusing.

Oil pressure switch?

Works for me (y) Personally I would never buy one but obviously people do so his info might help them.

The only reason I can think of is if you delete it now then what has already been said will no longer make any sense. so the whole thread would need to go. Can you delete the links without deleting his pictures? That has most of the info he was trying to get across anyway. He does have some...

I have a sneaky suspicion your links are going to be deleted because they are to an auction and that is against the rules but I will say that anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, that would pay 10 grand for a little generator is totally out of their mind!!!!!!! And those are the exact shape of the...

Count me in, I am battery poor right now!

Oh I think SNAFU goes back to WWI. Not sure but it has been around for a long, long time. I think SNAFU was the original insult followed by FUBAR. Sort of gives you an idea of the GI's idea of how the military handles things. In some ways they are highly efficient but in others...
