@Ray70 Thanks I will keep that in mind if this doesn't workout.
Current status.
Front of machine removed / radiator housing / fuel tank cleaned. Upgraded well nuts / seals from @CallMeColt .
Gear end cover removed.
I had all the IP's removed. Rack was moving freely. So I didn't remove it...
I'm looking for the best way to remove the fuel rack. It looks like you wouldn't have to completely remove that cast iron piece that's in the front holding the rack on it looks like there's maybe two little pins that hold that in but I was able to stick an allen which all the way through so...
Thank you Colt and others I definitely checked out the video. I do see the gap. The issue I seem to have as soon as I put in an IP how that the thing is moving free at binds up.
I don't see an easy way to remove just the thin part of the metal rack do you have to take the whole bracket piece...
My unit is a 1999 it does have a rebuild sticker it does not have a date I'm pretty sure there's some sort of a serial number lookup on it. It has 6,400 hours. So I'm assuming that's $6,400 hours after the rebuilt. I will definitely keep it posted whatever I discovered because the forms been...
It doesn't feel like it's popped out of the bushing there at the end. I will have to take a look at that. Should that rack slide right out?
Is that a relatively easy process it looks like maybe just one bolt and then that should just pop right out slide forward? I'm perfectly willing to make...
Is the little piece on the shut off lever that's on the inside of the engine that actually touches the flat part of the rack to manipulate the rack forwards is that piece supposed to be slightly wobbly or almost like it's spring-loaded it's got a little play in it. It's it's not stiff like a...
It looks very similar. I have not taken it out of the machine as of yet. Maybe I'll get to that tonight or tomorrow and see what exactly it looks like I'll try to get pictures of it as well. The only time it makes that slight grinding sound is when the rack is all the way pulled out and I'm not...
Okay sorry for the long hiatus. Had to get the unit into the garage then I had to get some proper tools sockets impact wrench etc to proceed to take apart the unit.
So after removing the urine cover I do see where the fuel shut off lever the little tip does engage The rack block for lack of a...
I'm going to have to see if I can even break the loose the bolt. At this point using a 15/16 wrench using the box and and a pipe I only get a very small amount of movement not enough to actually break it loose and I'm not sure that I can get a impact tool in there without removing the radiator...
Detailed method for installing the pumps.
So once all of the pumps are out. And the rack would still be stuck in position. It would not spring forward. So after I'm sticking the rack with my finger. It would pop loose it would move freely.
Then to put the pumps back in. I would take an allen...
I will have to look and see what my options are. At this point in time the unit is not in an enclosed space and pulling the front end off might be a tall order since I don't have a way to cover it back up with out putting the covers back on and covering with some heavy plastic. I don't have a...
So have you had the gear and cover off? And do you have to remove the radiator to get enough clearance to remove the bolt out of the serpentine pulley? Because it seems like a really tight fit.
After removing the IPS cleaning them multiple times. Reading and talking to other form members offline. That looks like I need to remove the " gear end cover' according to the -24 TM 30th October 1996 version...
Step A
a. Insert common screwdriver through flywheel housing into flywheel gear...
When I originally came across this thread I thought it was for an electronic copy/pdf of the wiring diagrams that are on the plates on the side of the door. Am I missing something?
So I fixed the linkage issue had the little nut in the wrong spot preventing the linkage to move freely.
Now for the racing engine it would stop on it own still running crazy fast after fixing linkage. So I rotated the fuel pumps.
After rotating the a small amount. The unit starts vary slow and...
I flattened out the linkage. Replaced my fuel line. At first I was unable to get the unit to start did the method in the video of spraying diesel fuel into the air intake. Eventually it did take off. And I could not get it to shut down by turning the key. So maybe I tightened the linkage screw...
