Delks can probably fix you up. David

CTXKIGER-a little acetone carefully used, might clean up the pump parts enough for the slider to move and you would have a couple of spare pumps. David

Something else to think about-does the IP look like it has been messed with? If it was taken apart at some time, and the throttle control lever not put in properly (ie: not engaged in the valve control), it would act like you are describing. Could go wide open and close intermittently with...

If after you check all grounds, it still acts like a fuel issue, you should start troubleshooting the fuel system from start to finish. One way is to put a "T" with a gauge in the fuel line at the ip fuel inlet and see if you have 5 to 8 psi while running. If not, go back through each item and...

How about the grounds from the battery negative to genny frame, engine, and control panel? Those are the ones that can give trouble.

Normal operation is near 60 hz (1800 rpm) if the gauge is working. Does it sound like it's running slow? The throttle knob has a coarse and fine setting. Push and hold center button while running and pull out or push in to get close to 1800 rpm and if the gauge is working the needle will come...

When running, what is the hertz reading if any? Is the throttle control hooked up (under front flywheel cover)?

Yea, he has had it running for 60 seconds.

Would not tie the fuel shutoff open. You could have a run away. Not pretty. If solenoid will not stat up, something is not operating correctly. Check the grounds.

You can also wire brush them....

Just for grins, check all grounds (cabinet and other straps). A loose ground will cause major headaches. Take the straps off and grind a clean spot on each. The cabinet ground is a small strap under the back.

Injectors need to be set up for proper pop-off pressure. Done on a specialized rig. Not do-able without it. You have something in the safety circuit not activating the solenoid. Your TM (34), gives you good guidance for troubleshooting.

Oil pressure is great!

Grey smoke = incomplete combustion. I would guess your injectors need a tune-up at least. There is a member (Storeman), that cleans and tests them reasonable. Have not seen him on the board recently. All you need is fuel and compression. You are getting fuel from your answers. May not being...

I assume you changed the oil and refilled to the top fill line on the dipstick? Is the oil pressure showing pressure when running? Is it staying steady until it stops? Is the fuel solenoid staying up until after the engine stops or does the engine stop when the solenoid drops?

You are almost there... Just don't use ether...

You should have a check valve in the fuel line between the last filter and the IP. With the gunk you described in the system, would not hurt to take that apart and clean out to make sure you are getting enough fuel through to keep running.

Do you have (hear) fuel coming back to the tank with the master switch in prime/run position and engine off?

Good news! Will it stay running?

Be very careful with ether.. Been known to damage pistons easily!
