I don't know the size off-hand, but I do know Munchies knows. I think he told me it was a something by 14 thread. From what I understand, finding just the proper nut part of the split-nut setup is nearly impossible to impossible.
Also, if you're not running 3-phase loads, you can get away with...
That's what I was afraid of. Those cracks may not have been there when it was DRMO'd. As usual, my grandfather didn't read the manual and did some things without my knowledge, one of things being cranking down the rocker arms to force the valves open and spinning the motor with the starter. So...
Last night I got everything back back together and tried to crank it over....huge failure. I started with a no-fuel issue, and I ended with a no-fuel issue last night. I'm not getting any fuel from the injector pump to the injectors.
I installed and timed the injector pump at the PC mark on...
After a lot of time not having time to work on the set and time to get parts (thanks Storeman!), I got a chance to start tearing the set back down to replace the IP and an injector that had a cracked heatsink that was jammed and probably affected injector operation. Anyway, I found exactly what...
Thanks for the help Stan. I didn't notice, nor think about the table in the begginning. I guess I'm just used to the TMs putting the torque specs inline with the instructions throughout the TM.
To be honest, 17-18 foot pounds seems a little low for something that needs to be held in and seal...
Hopefully sometime this week I will be installing my newly purchased injector and injector pump on my MEP-003. I've looked in the TMs for what the torque of the bolts should be that hold the injector to the head with no luck. It just says to "install" the injector. What should I be torquing the...
When your start the set up, are you holding the start switch for 5-10 seconds after it starts up, or just letting go as soon as the engine fires. It sounds like you're letting it go and the generator isn't flashing the field enough. Hold the start switch until you see the frequency stay up on...
I did know I was almost certainly going to need a new button. William at Delk's told me to just throw my existing one on and it'll work, but I know that's not correct. I will use my existing button to flow-time the new pump using timing method 2 in the TM. Sucks that buttons on these pumps are...
I appreciate the words of encouragement, but I think I'm going to get a professionaly rebuilt one just so I can positively eliminate that as a potential failure. While waiting for the new one to come in, I may try to take mine apart and see what's going on. If I see something obviously broken...
LuckyDog, rebuilding the pump is an option, and I do like the prices to rebuild, but I don't have the specialized tools to rebuild it and the instructions in the TM seem a little scary to me.
derf, I'd love to buy your set, but for the amount you're currently asking, it's still more...
It's been a long time I've been on-and-off troubleshooting why the 003 I bought from GL doesn't run and I've never seen run. A friend of mine and I have gone through the troubleshooting in the TMs and think we have come up with a solution as to why it doesn't run.
We checked the air system and...
I looked in both the quick edit and the full advanced edit and I cannot find the delete button. I looked in the lower right hand corner of the edit area and the whole page and could not locate it. I'm sure I'm missing it and it's on my screen somewhere. I know I've deleted a thread I've created...
Could you give a brief description on how to delete old ads? I'm a moderator for another forum using vbulletin and for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete my old want ad here. It definitely isn't in Thread Tools like it should be.
Jerry, are you able to confirm if the 12 piece diesel compression tester from Harbor Freight has the required adapter to test the compression on my MEP-003?
