    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    any that I have installed went between the tank and the filters, put it as close to the tank as possible.. you should always try to push fuel, which assists in priming filters and the rest of the system .. also, the closer to your fuel source, the less work a pump has to do to draw the fuel...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    yes, however, in the HH instructions posting(s) I mentioned , you have to make sure the IP (and HH) is in register with the engine before you pop the HH off.. The red mark can be close to being in the center but in reality 180* off to the engine timing, some issue like that .. Something that it...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    a simple carter 24VDC in-line fuel pump can be used without removing the in-tank pump .. They are about 50 bucks and on fleapay or napa.. It will easily draw fuel past the in-tank, the in-tank is only a loose impeller with a huge amount of clearance around it.. The Carter in-line has more...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    yes , but if I recall correctly, having the engine timing marks lined up only gets you within the ballpark of the HH removal marks, in some cases you might not see the marks in the HH with the engine marks in line.. You will have to bar the engine a hair one way or the other ever so slightly...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    Only the HH (hydraulic head, the round body the lines to the injectors come from) has to come off to fix the button .. the rest of the IP stays in place on the engine .. You aren't messing with the quill .. The button and clip sits right up on top of everything .. There is a specific procedure...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    there are a few excellent posts on here about it and the HH, it is how I learned about those troublesome buttons ... There is a specific procedure to removing the HH that has to be read and re-read to grasp an understanding before attempting to remove the HH without damaging things.. It can be...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    the muiltifuels can be started/driven without an operable in-tank pump if its run at least once a month and keeps its prime.. The most common symptom aside of a silent fuel tank when you flip the accessory switch, is a prolonged cranking time / hard start .. yes it's crazy how sudden the...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    i learned a few years ago not to throw things, cuz : 1: likely wouldn't be able to find it in a hurry because i was too mad to watch where it landed 2: forgotten it was lost by the time I get time to try looking for it again 3: This step is because of #2.. Cussing and swearing when it's not...

    Putting IP back in and Timing Refresher

    Having a "Soldier-B" is always easier/quicker when trying to do timing marks, cummins overheads, etc .. I have only had that luxury a few times and it is sorely missed, especially now that myself and everyone I know that was physically/mentally capable in the past ,. including myself, is now...
