Electronic parts arrived yesterday for my 002a's A4 board and VR. Installed resistors and diode, put both in the working 002 and I had voltage and it was right where it should be. Both boards are working! Great! Now to get the fuel side up to par... Thanks for everyone's input. David

You may have to do the adjustments and then turn over a few times and recheck your settings. Pretty easy to get a little off. At least it was for me anyways.

#2 cylinder is closest to the generator head. Are you rotating the engine in the right direction when checking valve action? Facing the engine fan, the correct rotation is clockwise. You want to check the clearances on the compression stroke. The flywheel has three marks that you will get...

OK, thanks.

Spent a good amount of time reading in TM12 and 34 looking for how the control cabinet screws come apart. Do the cross pins just press out or is there a secret to them. Have new control panel and would like to remove and reinstall the screws without tearing them up. Can someone point me in...

With all the cranking I have done with the last unit, the Walmart batteries have held up well. Haven't killed them yet.

Thank You!

No ohm reading on A4 R1-resistor broken in the middle. Got A4 board out and all diodes check out ok. Found numbers on the R1 on my working unit (V560, CM-5-5, and CV8124). Mouser has a wide range of resistors. Anyone know where I could find the wattage value? Should I just overkill and go...

Does the R1 need to be un-soldered for measurements or can it be done in place? Thanks, David

Ok, back from quality time with the grand kids..... I let the machine shop finish the compression adapter for the injector attachment. Pictures below. Had machine shop drill a 1/8" diameter hole through center for gauge access. Tested the adapter on a working 002 and got 385 psi dry and 430...

All-thinking about this.... I knew I had seen it somewhere. TM34, dia 7-10.1 shows an injector adapter to check compression. Point on the gaskets is well taken. Appreciate the feed back. Thanks, David

All, My bad on not asking. Thanks, David

1800 diesel-talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.... I never thought about taking the injectors out and then trying them..... Oh well. Triple Jim-Thanks for the follow-up. Electrical side is on the back burner until I get the engine running. Stopped by a machine shop this AM and...

Hard starting 002a Kevin, Appreciate the response: 1. Prior to starting, you are holding the preheat switch for 45 seconds, right? I'll assume your response is yes, since you stated the starting problem also occurs when the engine is hot. Yes, I have preheated for up to one minute. Also...

Triple Jim, The only piece that looks burned is R11. Still working on getting the engine running. Starts hard (even hot). Have to use starting fluid (sparingly). Once it gets up to starter dropout, I get some smoke and then it takes off. Have had the ip apart several times and everything...

Working on sorting out electrical problems on a 002a and have a burned R11 resistor (1/2 watt, 330 ohm), on the voltage regulator. Is this an indication of Q2 also being taken out? Voltage goes high when board is installed in a working unit. Thanks David

Jim, Excellent work! Can we commission you to do ours? :-)

I am using 2 lawn tractor batteries (275 cca) from Walmart in 3 of my 002a units. They turn the set over nicely down to +40 degrees. They fit the base well and I shortened the tie down bolts a little and cut thick black rubber spacers to locate battery in center of base. At $28.00 each one can...

Gimpyrobb, Got back home today and the parts are here. Thanks!

That is-I have three of these 002A's
