Also, while you're in there, double check that there aren't any remaining little pieces of the spacer stuck to the #4 holder or down in the body where the tapered edge of the holder seals. Any little chunks stuck in there will prevent the pump from building pressure.
It would look like a very...
Ok, the reason you're having difficulty is that your delivery valve spacer is deteriorated an / or missing ( #5 in the image )
It's a paper thin plastic ring that goes around the delivery valve holder to keep it in place while you reassemble it.
They tend to fall apart over time.
You could buy a...
Sounds like your IP is most likely OK.
I would reattach the lines at the pump and just crack them open a 1/2 turn at the injectors and verify that you get a very small spurt of high pressure fuel up at the injectors. NOTE: is will be just a small amount of fuel every other revolution of the...
You know me all too well Guy!
He is correct:
1) Do you have fuel flow to the inlet of the IP? ( there is a check valve near the oil pressure gage that occasionally gets stuck )
2) If you have confirmed fuel flow to the IP is good, crack open one or both injector lines and see if you are getting...
In addition to the above, check the starter itself. I have seen several " old style " starters where the linkage from the solenoid on the starter to the drive gear has gotten frozen. This causes the solenoid to be stuck in the engaged position.
You can quickly verify this by seeing if the...
Ah ha! Scoobyshep, you may have just solved it!
Looking at the A/V switch it appears that Amps only register when set to L1-L0, L2-L0 or L3-L0 not when set to L1-L3 or any other line to line setting.
Shane, turn the A/V switch 1 click to the right to the L1-L0 setting and retest.
I think the...
If you want to test the circuit you should be able to remove the wires from the back of the gage and set your meter for AC amps. ( or milli. amps )
( Plug the red lead into the appropriate spot on the meter )
with the machine at full load you should have 1 amp flowing between the gage wires. At...
The set Shane is talking about came from me. The single phase conversion was done before load testing, so I don't know if the Amp gage worked prior.
This is the 3rd 005A that I have had and none of them had Amp gages ( #6 in the TM ) that had a reading ( all tested after the conversion ) but...
You can do either. Try gluing it back on. You may want to use contact cement, apply to both surfaces, let dry then stick together.
That stuff is a silicone open cell foam, maybe 10mm square or so?
Anything remotely similar will work just fine.
Take out the injector and clean the copper washer between the head and injector as well as the head and end of the injector body.
You can clean everything, hit the copper washer with a propane torch to anneal it and reinstall.
You can tighten down the clamp then tap down on it with a hammer and...
If worst comes to worst and you end up doing a motor swap, I have a brand new ( still crated ) complete engine for your 005A.
My brother did exactly as stated above, bought it from the auction ( was listed as 400hz. ) because he was going to replace the motor on his 005.
Turned out his just...
Ok, probably should start new threads for the other gens, but to get you pointed in the right direction:
1) on the one that won't start, how does the compression / cranking speed sound compared to the others? If it cranks faster and without the compression pulse sound you may have carbon buildup...
Don't feel bad, there are several components in that machine the will "Die" and then start working either by whacking with a hammer or just removing and shipping through the mail ( K1 Relay for one example ) or sometimes just a short ride in the back of a pickup will occasionally cause issues...
Definitely was not an 002 if it was Positive ground, although to some, the 002 battery cables may appear to be positive ground because the negative goes to the body of the starter. However the post on the starter's body is the ground.
The positive battery cable goes to the solenoid up on top of...
If you suspect the fault indicator, simply unplug the white ( natural ) rectangular connector on the back side and try starting it again.
Unplugging it usually bypasses all the safety's ( or at least most, I never tried overvoltage )
Hello, you are correct, that motor is a DJB series.
The 002 is a negative ground 24V system. That motor is probably as well.
If it is positive ground the starter will NOT spin backwards.... sort of. The starter motor will physically turn backwards but it will not engage the drive gear because...
Definitely a good idea and one that has been on my mind for a while now.
I have a friend bringing me an 003 parts motor with a good PSU pump on it this week.
I might just get the itch to take it apart and look into having a machine shop look at it.
Do your homework and study the pictures and video's carefully. Just because it runs doesn't mean it is OK, but at least you know it's not seized.
Lets start at the beginning:
The old air cooled 003 ( not that you mentioned it ) is a very simple machine but pretty loud. easy to work on and...
