Looking for a Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) technician E5 or above near the Northern KY area. I have a wiring diagram / wiring work that I am struggling with and could use some help. I am willing to pay for your time and expertise of course. PM for details.
Best regards,

It's running like new and producing electricity! Thanks for all the help fellas. I really appreciate it! I couldn't have done it without the knowledge provided on this website.
So I did the timing line up procedure and then bleed the fuel lines. When the generator attempts to start it blows a little white smoke then a heavier black smoke as it is trying to start then dies out and the starter is still cranking.
Doesn't seem like it is wanting to start.
Is there a...
Yeah I didn't set the #1 PC before I took the pump off. Where is the hole in the pump in reference to looking at the pump in the installed position?
I know that the # 1 Cylinder is on the blower side. Am I correct in assuming that the longer rocker arm is the intake valve and the shorter rocker...
I am going to install the rebuilt injection pump today. Do I need to do anything as far as timing goes? I have read that if you line up "PC" mark to ensure that the number one cylinder is top dead center. Not sure exactly what I need to do to make sure that it runs properly.
I thought it was interesting that American Bosch was made in Italy as well. The internals are identical to the Ambac 50 model. The generator this pump came off of is a 1983 model. I think the hardest part of this rebuild for me is going to be getting the spring compressed where I can put in the...

Hey Ray,
I was flying yesterday so I was unable to respond. I have the American Bosch pump best that I can tell. I don't see the set screw you are referring to but I do see the boss. I might be able to sand the Brass washer smooth where it is acceptable. I will have to look at it again today. I...
Okay I finally got it apart. I had to drive out the center rod / plunger with a punch and rubber hammer. I found a broken thrust washer. I'm guessing I need to call Ambac on Monday and order the orange seal in the thread listed above or a rebuild kit. Mine doesn't look like it's in great shape...
Hello,
I know that this has been covered in another post with detailed pictures located here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ambac-m-50-rebuild-w-pics-mep-003a.183913/#lg=post-2181690&slide=2
I am having issues getting my injection pump apart on step 4 in the thread linked above. When...
