Some thoughts, Where are you not getting fuel? Have you disconnected the high pressure tubing at the pump outlet to see if you are getting fuel there? If not, are you getting fuel into the pump? Is the pump adjusted correctly so that it allows fuel into the pump when the lever is in the correct...

Do you know if Dexron 6 is backwards compatible with the older 4L80's that use the lower number Dexron fluids?

Mine came with an instruction CD, but all the disk has is the manual that is on the web, and sales brochures for all the tops they make. I attached a picture of where the rubber strip was mounted on my top. It did not come separately.

I just purchased a brand new Helmet Top off Iron Planet, which I intend to use to replace my rusted out steel roof, and upgrade to a helmet top. This top looks like it has all the hardware and gaskets shown in the installation manual from Amtech. Any advice or any issues I need to look out for...

Your drier needs 120 and 240 if it is an electric drier (gas only needs 120 volts). You should have four wires on your electric drier. 2 hot wires, 1 neutral wire, and one ground wire (on some driers, they run the ground externally, with a separate wire). The 2 hot wires are 240, for the heater...

Here is a wiring diagram from my 1102 trailer, when you are ready to put on a civi plug. Sometimes they actually wire the trailers correctly.

A few troubleshooting points in addition to my previous post, and a simplified operating description. The gage operates by applying 24 volt power to one side of the gage, then taking this power from the other gage terminal (S) to the sender. The sender is a variable resistor that then sends the...

What was wrong with the original fuel gage when you purchased the unit? You replaced the gage, the new gage worked, and now you are having problems with the new gage. My concern is that you might have a problem somewhere else in the wiring that is causing this, and not the sender or gage.

Hook an ohm meter to your new sender, and verify what you really have, 240-33 or 0-33. If you have access to resistors, hook a resistor with the approximate value across the wires, and see what the gage shows. Any chance you have a short/ground somewhere in the wiring?

How did the top end and the valves look? Some ideas for what to do next - (possibly not the best, but easy to do without any special tools): Set the piston at midpoint, and pour in 1/2 inch of diesel fuel. Then move the piston up and down by turning the flywheel to see if the diesel leaks past...

The pump should start at 23.6 volts. Do you have variable power supply you can use to test the pump. To me it sound like the pump may be the problem. Do you have another pump to compare it with, and compare the starting voltage, and current?

Just thought of another thing to try before tearing anything apart. You have fuel, and air, but not enough heat to light off the fuel. Try heating the cylinder and air intake with a heat gun or hair drier, to the point that they are uncomfortable to touch, then, while blowing hot air into the...

Don't let that stop you. You currently have an engine that does not work. If you are careful when you disassemble it, you can't make it any worse. Taking the head off is the first and easiest step. Take plenty of pictures when working on it, that way you have something to look at when...

I would take off the valve cover, and check the valve clearances before tearing the engine apart. Thats only two bolts. Maybe a valve is stuck open. Just be careful not to damage the gasket when you pull the cover off.

I use the Kat's brand; It's a good brand, but there are also others. I use a 250 watt unit on my hummer oil pan (2 gallons). Never have an issue starting it in cold weather, but the lowest I have seen here, north of Flagstaff is about 0F. If you get the pad style, make sure you follow the...

You can also pull off the fuel return line at the tank and point it into the tank fill opening (you might have to add a short piece of hose). See if fuel comes out, but stops flowing when the machine starts to droop. Then you will know if its a fuel delivery problem. Any chance the pump is...

The 2870 will output 70 amps, before it will safely shut down on overload. I have never measured my 802a starting current, but it might be enough to get it started since it is a small engine. Not sure about the larger 804A. (Has anyone here measured the starting current on an 802a while cranking?)

Since 3 phase works good, it is not a generator problem. Did this generator ever work correctly on single phase? Sounds like a wiring or switch problem. Based on how single phase is derived, it could be that one of the windings is reversed or disconnected when the switch is set to single phase...
