Far gone or far from gone? Hacked up CUCV's are easy to come by. It's the genuine originals that are getting scarce. Good Luck. If it hacked crush it or part it out.

New does NOT always mean better. Was it replaced just to replace it? Or was it actually bad? If it were bad is it possible that the damage was done at that time? And I do agree with a weak cylinder or misfiring delivery nozzle. Remove the nozzles and have them tested with a pop off tester. May...
Did you swap Gen 1 with Gen 2 and see if the Gen 1 light comes on? If not I think your Gen 2 is bad. I am glad the light is working. Good Luck. These generators are NOT expensive to have overhauled at a competent electrical shop.

Thanks for the information, afraid to brake them loose. I will just keep looking, Thanks.
By all means break them lines loose. I promise there is nothing to fear. I have had no fewer then 150 CUCV's and worked on many more. I bought them with bent...
WOW no reply. HA HA. That is one process I would love to see. Did you ever see how thick the lines are and see a cross cut section. If I were an ambitious guy I would split one just to marvel at the glass lined injection lines. Reminds me of the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe. Where they make...
I must have compromised several hundred interior coatings. I replaced many valve covers and gaskets with the intake in place. I would know of no way that a coating could be applied inside the lines. Not say they didn't do that but I see no need for it. And as long as they are not rusty used ones...
I use Felpro J code 6.2 diesel. Make sure to have the heads gone over by a competent automotive machine shop and replace all the head bolts. Will used injection lines be good enough?
Yes nothing like a visit to the salvage yard. I am fortunate to have a good friend that owns one. I was off work on Friday and decided I would help out while the crusher was running at the yard. The old Chevy truck was due to be recycled. Shame it had the factory bucket seats and console. I...
A quick test. Remove the vacuum hose from the top of the vacuum pump at the rear of the engine. Start the engine at idle. You should hear a chirping sound. Carefully get a step and put your finger over the hole on the vacuum pump while the engine is idling. It should suck fast gently. If no...
The truth be told the correct Energy Suspension motor mount inserts for all GM CUCV's are for a 1983 350 gas motor on the pick up and K5. 3.116G is the Energy Suspension part number.
OK that this as a word of advise. If you needed to bend the fitting on the fuel pump to get the hose on. That...
Which sensor? And how about some pictures. I have a few scrap CUCV's and CUCV wiring harnesses. Maybe I can cut you a section that you can splice in to correct your issues. Just a thought. Good Luck. Be Safe and let me know.
CUCV fuel pump does NOT have the vent. I am sure it would work if you need it. Put a cap plug on the vent. HMMWV has a similar pump. Good Luck. If it were me I would get the correct pump. And it was made in China. Hopefully Mainland. Be Safe.
I think the vent is on the back side and they don't show that side. All is well. They work so they must have vents. The vents are the weep hole to tell when the pump diaphragm is failing.
Cup the pump in one hand and depress the lever with the palm of the other hand. The lever will create a suction immediately upon depression. The wrong pump will have a bit of free play. If yours is tight immediately I would say all is well. Internal spring on top of lever and you are golden. I...
OK> This is tricky. The pumping action should take place on the slightest depression of the lever. The lever only has a 1/2" to 3/4" working action at the end. If you must depress it farther to get suction it is the wrong pump. Post a picture...
