OK, so I found a post here to remove the delivery valve assy and tap the port with a brass punch, did that and fuel shot out like mad when I spun the engine. It also said be sure not to loose the valve spacer. Well I did not loose it but it's rubbery and oversized and won't go back in. Any...
So I dug out a pair of MEP003a's from storage that have been sitting out for quite a while, trying to get one running while I repair my other set. Did the usual fuel system clean out, new filters etc. I have fuel at the injector pump but none being sent to the injector lines. I checked to...
I did disconnect T2 in the top cubicle to get my readings and they were spot on according to the TM. I did notice that the top portion of CVT1 has several cracks in the plastic. The CVT, outer is not cracked, it doesn't look like much fun to get that thing out.
I found the thread with the...
I looked over the CVT1 and I don't see where the terminals are marked so I can test it. Is CVT1 the T1 transformer in the top cubicle or is that the one in the bottom with the wire looped through it?
Gen set worked in the AM, started in the PM and voltage went high, 160v AC but still rock solid 60Hz. It's been running my off grid home for several weeks while my primary set is being repaired. Swapped out the voltage regulator in another set and that tests out fine. Any suggestions what to...
I appreciate the positive feedback, however on this end it seems as though time is against me. I'm trying to get it rolling for the Weare NH military vehicle show at the end of July. So many unknowns, will the engine run, does the transmission work, diffs work etc etc. Living in the North...
Spent most of the weekend working on the goat, most of the time on cleaning both fuel tanks. These sat for 13+ years with about 5 gallons in each tank, a brown stinky mess. After removing the tanks I mixed up some Marine Clean and then heated it right in the tank on the Coleman stove, what...
The rack on all or one of the injectors is most likely stuck. You will have to remove the injector and soak it in clean fuel to free them up or replace the injector. After that there is a procedure in the engine TM to adjust the rack and injector timing.
Exactly the same as mine, must be a common problem, I see a warning about it in the PS magazine. Thanks for looking, hang on to it in case I can't find a complete one, thanks.
Today I relocated the wiring terminal board from the back where it is unreachable to the side where it can be reached. I took a spare cucv terminal board I had and mounted it to the original plate. The cucv one uses a nice cover with thumb screws, the M561 cover requires you to use tools and...
Tom came through again, cylinder head arrived from AR today. It may not look very big but it sure is heavy! So far it is cleaning up nicely, it survived the ride just fine as far as I can tell. Big thank you to Tom for the ride and Mark for making it available.
Have the air box fitted that Tom sent so I decided while waiting for the M1010 battery to charge I would spray some forest green on the parts. The first piece is what is normally welded into the hull. I epoxied 3 additional mounting tabs to the floor and used speed nuts as used in the rest of...
