    Multifuel timing off

    So happy four you as my fingers were getting tired. To answer why the are three marks /white paint on the advance timing disc. From reading when they put the IP on the test stand they use the advance window and rotate the unit just bit to each point and measure when the injection begins to drip...

    Multifuel timing off

    As said you will use the middle mark on the advance window (four bolt plate) for correct timing. Gimpyrobb found the fast way to find correct TDC. Take off the oil filler cap and when the crank is on TDC pointer the # 2 exhaust will be open. When you look down the oil filler cap it will be the...

    Multifuel timing off

    Your making me think to much and it hurts will you please read the Troubleshooting the 465-1 In there they tell you if you are just installing the IP into the motor then we line up the beginning of the white line on the advance window pointer and the Head scribe plus IP pointer will be inline...

    Multifuel timing off

    It would be the center line as per tm don't know why it looks like three lines but maybe that where they started and ended the paint mark. As said just look over the Troubleshooting manual.

    Multifuel timing off

    I had to correct my post as I am loosing my mind but yes the correct timing the tooth should be just about a tooth off to the rear. Everyone I have done comes out to be as the picture in the TM's 3/4 off to the rear when the other timing marks are correct. My only point we have people doing...

    Lug wrenches for LMTVs?

    I carry one of these and a cheater pipe and never let me down. You can find them cheaper but no moving parts no batteries. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200338981_200338981

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    Would the automatic transmission take on water through the vent line if it has one?

    Multifuel timing off

    As you said the scribe/red mark tooth on head when it is on it's mark then we are ok to remove the Head. But correct timing is crank TDC advance window on it's mark then Head one tooth to the rear so it is used to check timing.

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    OK thanks had to think about it but head/quill shaft is controlled buy the governor. I believe what you are saying the governor spring pushes the advance while the spring is hooked up.

    Multifuel timing off

    Correct timing is crank is on it's mark TDC. Four bolt advanced window on IP is on it's mark and the Head scribe mark and it's pointer will look to be one tooth off to the rear. Yes with the shut down cover off the fuel control linkage will be forward with engine off or maybe 7 o'clock and with...

    M915A5 serial/vin

    My 915A2 has a small data on the drivers door with full numbers then there is another plate on the dash and says CARC and the full set of numbers. I order parts using the last six of that number and have no trouble getting parts from Freightliner. Yes they are FLD120's and I had no trouble...

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    Trying to understand. spring pushing on piston red mark fly buy. Is the plunger and it's spring what you are talking about and what is fly buy the other mark. I never had it fly buy as I believe the only thing that can move the Head rotation is the quill shaft. The scribe mark and it's pointer...

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    Yea I would line it up by looking down the IP hole and someone else turn the crank. Still say transmission 5th transfer case neutral and a small pry bar in between the U joint is what I do. I like my small aliment bar for this but what ever way you find to just ease the quill shaft a hair one...

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    Yes I have found that sometimes just a little baby hair turn on the crank one way or the other the Head pops out. I believe the ware in all the gears starting at the crankshaft will cause the cutout washer on top of the quill shaft to be a hair off. If the quill shaft of never turns after you...

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    You just use a small round bar in between the U joint. Turns very easy. Your working to hard.

    Can't figure out why it won't start

    Why would you jack up the rear axles just put the transfer case in neutral transmission in 5th. Turn jackshaft.

    934A2 dies when shifted into forward gear, but not reverse.

    There is better people than me on this board for electric stuff. Could you use a multi meter and see if there is continuity between one wire and the housing. If not then would it matter what wire was power to make it trip.

    A Deuce will always be a better bet than a FMTV. Who is we do you have a mouse in your pocket.
