So while replacing the diode on cr1 I seem to have blown the resistor on v5. According to the 24p page 8-3 the resistor in that position is 54 on the diagram. If I am reading it correctly the part number for that is v68ma3b. When I google that part number it comes up with a 68v 40amp varistor...
I recently had the same issue. I ordered a new switch and installed it and the low fuel light tripped again. I zip tied the float in the up position and plugged the switch in out side the tank and it ran perfect for hours so I was fairly confident the switch was good. Ultimately the problem was...
ARE YOU 100 %SURE THE IP IS BAD. I RAN INTO THIS EXACT SCENARIO A FEW MOTHS A GO AND IT TURNED TO BE A BLACK PLASTIC BALL SOCKET ON THE SIDE OF THE IP HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE LINKAGE NOT TO MOVE. UNFORTUNATELY I TOOK A LOT APART BEFORE I REALIZED THAT.
BEING THAT I JUST WENT THROUGH THIS, HAVE YOU CHECKED THE PLASTIC BALL SOCKET TO THE RIGHT OF THE INJECTION PUMP? IT IS ON A LINKAGE(I DONT KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF IT). THAT IS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MINE. UNFORTUNATELY I TOOK A BUNCH OF STUFF APART BEFORE I FOUND THAT.
It seems like I may have figured it out. When I replaced the ball socket I tightened it down to the stop nut, apparently that was too far. I backed it off about three turns and it appears to be running ok. As per the tm I set the frequency to 61.5 under no load. I used my multimeter. I loaded it...
Guyfang you may be onto something. I had my wife against her wishes crank the generator and I lifted up the thing and it fired right up. I thought this is great I set the frequency with my meter, it seemed to be running great hooked it up and under load it almost stalled out, took the load away...
I didn’t adjust the linkage but this all started with the plastic ball socket being cracked. I ordered a new one and installed it onto the rod to where the stop nut was. I assumed that was the position of the old one .
When you say the pre heaters are you referring to the glow plugs? If so, yes I have removed the glow plugs and ohmed them out both had about 5.6 ohms resistance and I checked power at both glow plug connections with a test light and they are getting power.
I was just able to get it started again but I had to spray it with wd40 to get it to fire. It seemed to run ok but a little noisier than I remember but that is probably because I have the ask off. I let it run for a minute then shut it off. Now it won’t restart and I am back to no smoke out of...
I have bled the lines many times. It has been sitting since last weekend. Yesterday I said let me try to start it. After cranking for a while I got white smoke out of the exhaust and it fired up, I shut it down to get my meter to set the frequency and hook up my dryer to run the unit and it...
Yes I am using the preheat function, the glow plug circuit is good and both of the glowplugs ohm out to 5.6. Is it possible that both injectors are stuck? when we pulled the injectors out the head was dry, no sign of fuel. The fuel that comes out of the injector lines is not very powerful, it is...
thank you for your reply. yes the solenoid pulls up and the linkage lifts up. when the engine cranks it sounds normal and we believe the engine has compression. when we had the glow plugs out to ohm them we cranked the engine and it appeared to have good compression. we have no smoke at all out...
First I would like to thank everyone in advance for any help they can give me, I have never posted here before. I have an mep 002a that I acquired about 7 years ago with 12 hours on it from a tier 2 reset. I would start it every month and run my dryer off it to exercise it. I went out a few...
