Or enhance itI think the fact that they're floating in air will neutralize any vibration effects.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Maybe if they were just taped, but that gel is a natural dampener. Obviously the wire can carry those vibrations from the engine but Idk. That'd be a fun test to do on a bench, see what frequencies that gel is absorbingOr enhance it![]()
I picked up primary and secondary yesterday. I'll drop those in today and see if that works—Sounds like a fueling issue to me.
Have you replaced all your fuel lines yet? They will be rotten and could be sucking air.I picked up primary and secondary yesterday. I'll drop those in today and see if that works—
I had the factory hoses copied by a local hose shop. Push-lok fittings work fine also. They are perfectly adequate for the pressures involved. Obviously the hose needs to handle diesel.Do you recommend the push lok stuff shown in the parts spreadsheet in the forum?
Yes, all new fuel lines. Hand pump stays hard. I recently ran the tank low, hopefully just picked up some silt from it. I should likely drain the tank and clean it out—Have you replaced all your fuel lines yet? They will be rotten and could be sucking air.
Hhhmmm - pop into CAT ET and see what your injection oil pressure is doing. Assuming that's good I would check the lift pump fuel pressure.Yes, all new fuel lines. Hand pump stays hard.

far as I know..... most everything on the yellow spread sheet only gets put there "after "reports of someone successfully using it.Do you recommend the push lok stuff shown in the parts spreadsheet in the forum?

The reference to a "fuel shutoff solenoid" makes me think that was all 3116 stuff. And the 3126/C7 have different fuel systems so may or may not be applicable. Electronic engines don't have shutoff solenoids. They just cut power to the injectors when the computer loses the ignition power signal.far as I know..... most everything on the yellow spread sheet only gets put there "after "reports of someone successfully using it.
Thanks for info. Aren't fuel lines and fittings same though, even if other items listed are likely 3116?The reference to a "fuel shutoff solenoid" makes me think that was all 3116 stuff.

3116 is a mechanical injection pump with the lift pump on the back of the head. 3126b and C7 have HEUI injection pumps with the lift pump driven off the back of the HEUI pump so the lines are going to be totally different length, etc. Not sure about fitting sizes but there's also a difference in engine displacement, and fuel pressure since the HEUI engines don't operate with high pressure fuel from an injection pump - they use high pressure oil instead.Thanks for info.

Well, this morning similar temperatures, new primary and secondary she fired right up smooth.Hhhmmm - pop into CAT ET and see what your injection oil pressure is doing. Assuming that's good I would check the lift pump fuel pressure.
Naw you need CAT ET to perform the injection pressure tests, etc. The generic scan tools and software generally don't understand the HEUI system and special tests you can run.Well, this morning similar temperatures, new primary and secondary she fired right up smooth.
After swapping filters video
Hopefully we won't follow behind @ckouba too quickly. Though our rough idle had a different pattern and feel from his from watching his video.
Still back to this thread, pretty sure it has nothing to do with pulling the LBCD and disconnect relays.
We have diagnostic eqiupment though not the CAT ET software as yet. We have the dearborn dowload? and Dana/Spicer CTIS download—
