Aluminum is a real pita to weld

Fair, there are off the shelf coatings that can be applied internally , but it sounds like the horse has already left the barn. I dont have an off the shelf replacement, but my welding skills say I can make one. (ive also been known to weld holes up in tanks from time to time)

What is the root cause fir replacing it? I have seen some people make a custom tank as a replacement online.

Having the plunger guide broken can cause your issue. Normally they just stop working but they can randomly run like crap. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

id let that sleeping dog lie

Do yourself a favor and while at the pc mark, mark the blower, that way you know it's approximate location and find it faster Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Make sure the throttle is going full fuel (arm all the way up, it gets stuck sometimes) With the injectors installed loosen the fuel fitting at the injectors and crank it make sure you get fuel to the loose fittings. Tighten them attempt a start. If you pulled the IP with the groove locked...

The injection pump turns one turn for every two turns of a flywheel When you put everything together did you bleed the pipes out? If you didn't leave the fittings going to the injectors loose turn the pumps on and crank it when they get wet with fuel tighten them up

There's a reason why we call those Jesus clips You going to take it out or put it off it goes flying across the room and you scream out Jesus Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

There's a cheat here, I have had the plunger get stuck and was able to free it up (as long as the guide isn't broken). Take the cap off the ip, below that is another cap, you'll need a 12pt 5\8 socket. Then underneath that is the delivery valve and holder (watch the spring too) once that is out...

The last one I had seized, I had to soak in gunk carb cleaner (it was getting rebuilt anyway) but it was a nightmare getting unstuck Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Shims stay with the block You have to time the button (amount of fuel). You can math it or there's a flow test you can do.

Shims are dependent on the block. I've had one or 2 that has had more than 1 shim. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Knocker loose. Good for un sticking things. One mep always leads to another Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

The additional hash marks are for timing the button with the flow method those tell you how many button sizes you need to go bigger or smaller. Sounds like you found the timing groove in the gear so yes you are ready to remove it

One company I worked for kept them hot at all times. Any time you'd touch them they were around 120 degrees. They also would preemptively start them every lightning storm. It was cheaper than an outage. For perspective, it was a water plant, so if their output dropped below a set pressure, it...

Glad it was something simple. Happy to help

What resistor? Iirc there is line voltage to the meter Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

The volt meter is reading the actual voltage. Check your selector knob there are 3 phase positions and single phase positions. If the set is in 3 phase and you are using the single selection it won't work

The 180 out comes in the play because the flywheel turns twice for every revolution of the injection pump so you can be lined up at PC but it's 180° out on the injection pump because it's not in the compression stroke If you end up pulling the injection pump and the alignment groove is on the...
