    few questions on injection pumps

    The -20 manual talks about troubleshooting the fuel pump for flow and pressure. Use a quart container and crank the engine for 15 seconds and measure the volume of fuel in the container. Then put a pressure gauge on the output and see what pressure is (5 to 6 psi ???? check the manual for the...

    Sounds like a bad battery. The voltage drops too low and the relays start chattering.

    Help...electrical short

    A car battery puts out 400-500-600 amperes of current at 12V. Two in series means the same amperage at double the voltage which means twice the power of a single battery and until they discharge those batteries are a welder. I believe that red wire leading to the starter always has 24V on it...

    Whats the best glow plug for the cucv

    No. It would not be a bad idea to check the voltages according to the -20 just to make sure everything else is working correctly.

    Wierd voltage meter / alt 1 issue

    It helps when reporting voltages to indicate where the meter leads are located when you take your measurement. I see you did that in a later post. 14.3V across one battery and 14.5V across the other battery when running sounds good to me. Perhaps your issue is intermittent or you voltage...

    amp hook up

    If your add-on equipment manufacturer tells you to use a certain sized wire off the battery with a certain size fuse you should follow that recommendation especially if you ever need them to honor their warranty. Westech already said it. The front battery positive and the back battery negative...

    Whats the best glow plug for the cucv

    I installed a set of diesel RX swellmans after using what came from the MONG for a over a year. When I replaced the originals I had one open GP. Every single swellman burnt open on the second starting attempt and four had swollen (not too much to get out thank you God). I replaced them with...
