Johnyray13, Good observation. My sons live in Warrenton and Herndon. Maybe we can get together and I can learn, Jerry

Jim, My computer has been down and I just got a chance to scan the board. Ike's response on a different thread may apply to you. It makes all the difference in the world which cylinder you time off of. You need to do it off #1 (closest to the fan). That may account for your problems. I...

Approaching 180 degrees from normal but I forgot you had to split the unit. Seems reasonable.

Who know what the guy did that had it before me. Jim, Very true. I'm assuming you found the A and B marks on the flywheel to enable you to do the valve adjustments correctly. Jerry

It is not the pump that lets fuel get to the cylinders. Rather, its the injectors and timing and valve adjustment that appears to be the problem. No one has ever criticized an IP for providing too much fuel (in my memory). Fuel is beinf delivered at the wrong time or not compressed enough...

The fuel cutoff solenoid only retracts when you try to start, not when priming. I'd start with valve adjustments then governor adjustments. You are obviously getting fuel past the IP. Crack fittings at each injector while cranking to see that each cylinder is getting fuel and all air is...

Answer is obvious. Mounts on the wing. One bomb, one hoist. Two wings = two bombs, two hoists, (aerodynamically balanced). Hoist jams, like yours...fly it in. Hoist in working condition, bombardier climbs out on wing and trips the release then climbs over fuselage to other wing and...

Any multimeter will give you frequency while you check out the remaining circuits. Jerry

Great find. Valve comes from any plumbing shop. Original one must have frozen or been damaged/cannibalized. Welcome to the world of MEPs. Jerry

Last week or so a member indicated he had to buy a dozen Champion glow plugs to get the 2 or 4 he needed and offered the excess for sale, Maybe he will chime in. If not, I have some tested slightly used ones. Not soliciting, just trying to help. Jerry

I may be able to help if you need an IP. Jerry

Sounds like you are on the right track. Next step is glow plug functionality, then valve adjustment, then injectors. Jerry

After bleeding the fuel system, even though the fuel lever on the side of the IP may move freely, hold it up in the max position while someone else cranks and see if you get fuel to the injectors. Jerry

Jim, It has to do with regulation of AC from the stator to the DC VR I believe. I don[t understand its exact function but know it is necessary. Jerry

Someone smart can tell you what it does but, yes, it is needed and very expensive.

The 004s do come with a noise suppression kit (on Gubmt Liquid) on occasion. Would help with line droop and noise and some of the suppressed units come on trailers.

Great to have young blood available. Had two SS members stop by together today to pick up two 003a engines. Not as young as your stepson but they sure were handy in helping me load (from a storage unit) and unload (at the flea market) a Fisher Papa Bear wood stove at over 400 lbs. Thanks Ed...

Jim, What a job you have done! Jerry
