If you look up my old thread, the fuel rack is easily bent, causing the problems you are describing....
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Before you take the front apart, you may want to try and bend the rack back up with your fingers. If you know which pump bent it, then reach your fingers through the port on the motor and lift up with a lot of force. I bent the rack on one of my first 802a's and I did what I explained. It worked for me and the generator has performed flawlessly for the past few years.And I'm now about 95% sure I managed to bend the rack. If I manage to get all 4 pumps aligned with the rack, one pops out the second I move the shut off solenoid to run.
I did once try to assemble the pumps with one at the high spot on the camshaft, so it pushed on the rack. Missed that page in the TM.
So I get to pull the gear cover off. Any good sources on gaskets? Or a cross reference from the Onan to LP part numbers?
Yippie for learning experiences...
Thought about it. Put all but the pump I messed up with back in. Verified the rack moved with just the one missing. Figured it was bent or it wasn't. But your logic made sense so stuck a J-hook into the pump hole and attached it to the rack. Pulled. The last pump dropped right in.Great job!!! So what did you do to fix it???
Hello AllWhen you slide the injector pump in, without tightening it down, move the solenoid linkage back and forth a bit. If the injector pump moves back and forth with the motion from the linkage, its in the slot properly. If it only moves in one direction, its not in right. Have patience. Take your time. Sometimes this procedure went easy, and sometimes not. There is a tool, that gets hooked to the linkage, that centers the fuel rack and makes this whole deal easier.
Did you try to crank the motor over to see if fuel comes out?I'm going to revive and pig tail on to this thread. Same problems a OP though different problems.
Put new injector metering pumps in, pulled one replaced it with new one after replacing shim with old shim got it all together put rubber lines on and kept the fuel lines cracked, no fuel coming out any of them. Got fuel feeding from the pump to rubber lines no problem. The real pickle is the far left one is stuck in as if the nipple that is below fuel metering cap. Can't turn it enough to get it to pop out.![]()
