Alternator is for charging 8 210Ah GC2 batteries. Until I fix this engine it’ll get mounted to an extra generator gas engine I have layin about. All will be revealed when I open the engine up, but since this now no longer applies to the title of this thread I’ll post updates under the rebuild...

Definitely possible, but we’ll find out for sure when I open it up. Any chance you have an alternator? That’s what I’m really after No rush right now, the generator works but I want to replace it with the newer alternator since I’ve heard many stories about the gen failing and burning out...

74, you need to empty your inbox lol I need to ask about those alternator brackets you were sellin a while back.

https://youtu.be/Vh8E6QTXL3Y Smells like raw fuel and motor oil 74. Already called a local shop and they want $480 + $parts to rebuild the head while I focus on the block. I might still get that compression tester since it’ll be a little bit until I can start on the rebuild.

Good news and bad, think I just now finally figured out the issue I’ve had with my trucks engine. I’ve had a miss on 1-2 cylinders for a while now. I had the truck runnin to charge up the batteries for the house since I just changed them to 24V and something caught my eye (in the dark no less)...

So much for an easy fix, swapped the injectors and I still have 2 dead cylinders at #5 & #6. Called a “local” shop and they want $350 to just flow test the pump. Fuel flow appears to be the same between all the cylinders when I cracked them loose. I did hear an intake valve stick a couple time...

It’s me! I have absolute sh1t for luck lol nah, it ran great when I first got it, minus a lack of power due to the gov springs never being adjusted. Hindsight, I shoulda left them alone and I’d still have all my tires lol

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I think I figured it out. While I was going through all the rocker assemblies, checking them and doing the lash, I had the #5 injector soaking in some gasoline. Looks like it got thoroughly cooked, crispy fried even, when the pivot shaft and exhaust...

Also another thing that I’ve noticed that I forgot to mention. I’m not sure if it is related to the excess fuel screw I turned up, but it does seem to run rich. Not so much by smell of the exhaust, though it does smell like some unburnt fuel is there, noticeable more by throttle response. I’m...

At a stopping point right now since I can’t seem to find my feeler gauges. I have fuel flow on all cylinders from the pump, not sure if they are at the correct pressure but for the moment I’ll assume that they are. When I cracked the fuel lines, #3 acted normal but #5 and #6 didn’t. #5 did take...

Spent all day yesterday looking for that stinkin IR gun, after 30min or so I gave up and just started cleaning lol eventually found in one of the first places I looked lol. Checked the exhaust ports, and surprise to me, it’s the #3 cylinder that is cold. If i can find my 17mm wrench I’ll see if...

If I so chose to take that pump of yours (after I figure out the issue of course), how much work is there in changing to the P pump? That’s something that I never really considered until now. Aside from that, what kind of performance gains are we talking? If it’s down low where I need it most...

Thanks, I didn’t even think of using the IR thermo to see which cylinder is crap. I really hope it’s not an injector since I just replaced all of mine, but I’d still rather have that over a pump.

Has anyone ever had a bad MW fuel pump? I’m feeling like I’m chasing my tail trying to figure out why I’ve lost a cylinder. I finished putting the engine together after having to replace #5 cylinder’s rocker arms, but I’m right back to not having all 6 cylinders. First fire after putting it...
