    Yea Orren had the best idea when we were talking about it a electric fuel solenoid wired to the master. Easy because of the Synflex plastic tubing.

    After you remove the fuel control and it has sat in something see if it has freed up. If not your going to have to pull the fuel control apart. The tab and the shaft are splined and that is what we want to watch very close as to the orientation of the alinement or number of degrees it sit at and...

    I have had one that was so stuck even after I removed it it would no come apart with a hammer. Remove it and mix 50 50 ATF and acetone and let it sit for a couple of days in a jar of the mix then see if you can disasemble it and clean it. Be very careful to watch the way it is put together and...

    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.

    I will just stick with a diesel oil known to have high zinc and I use Blackstone labs. Additives made for increasing zinc are out there if your oil falls a little short. Use break in oil on new flat tappet engines plus I have my medical card so pass the good stuff my way.

    Well the good thing looks like someone left the shut down cable pulled out like they should. The fuel control is stuck in the shut off position and if someone were to start it it would have gone to WOT. Your going to have to cut the safety wire remove the fuel control and see about getting free...

    Deuce accident in Seattle today

    Maybe he is just proving a point that he can Homestead at the court house. Greg sounds like you have a place to live if you want to move.https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/judge-rules-seattle-homeless-mans-truck-is-a-home/

    Type G Injection Pump

    Nice. Yea if nothing is wrong with the lower unit then just rebuild or different head. Wonder if it uses the same timing button? Still bet he could get a new button and clip from Ambac. Also if the plunger and drive key is ok wonder if just removing all port plugs and a good cleaning then button...

    Yep it has a locked child / snake proof cage and they just let Skyler get in the pic for a quick snap shot then picked up the monster and put it away. You could also leave the master on for a couple of mins. and get the fuel moving through the IP plus bleed the system at the bleed screw at the...

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    Guess if your just looking for lubricity then two stroke. Looking for cetane booster, fuel system cleaner and stablizer then we just pay more for the product that was designed to do that job. If you believe what we read then Opti lube is higher then two stroke for lubricity.

    Its a lot easer just to take off two screws and check the fuel control for free movement. I like that better then going into panic mode!!! With the engine off the fuel control should be around the 7 o''clock position and with your finger you should be able to push it to the rear to about the 4...

    Type G Injection Pump

    That bolt /oil filter problem needs to be address. I have never worked on a G pump so I don't know if it lets oil into the IP and is injected if not caped off. You could have other problems other than just a leaking head O ring. As I said look over the TM I listed and the LDS 465 troubleshooting...

    M809 series PTO winch driveshaft question

    If I remember the number #11 slip collar does not go tight up to the rear yoke. That collar when locked on the shaft allows the slip joint to move in just a bit. What it does is if the shear pin breaks the collar stops the PTO shaft from moving backwards from the winch input shaft and spinning...

    Check fluids. Remove the shut down cover and make sure the fuel control is not stuck and moving free. Leave the shut down pull cable out in the shut down position and crank the engine over to check for hydro lock. Also all ways leave the shut down cable pulled out when you walk away from the...

    Type G Injection Pump

    Look at TM 9-2910-226-34 page 3-75. If you do indeed have a G pump then the correct heads are HD 9065A and HD 9085A as they have the oil passage. On that same page it tells us if we use another head that does not have the oil passage we must block off the passage in the IP. Good thing would be...
