@Chainbreaker Thanks a lot for your input and following me through this investigation. I got it running today and ran perfect. I now have a power output issue. See last response above. thanks for the additive info I will be ordering it asap.

@Ray70 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! she started right up and ran perfect for 3hrs. No issues with the starting,running of the machine. NowI have yet more more issue. I was able to measure lugs butI’m only producing 120v from L3 to L0. The switch is set far right 120/220v. I measured the...

@Ray70 YAY YAY never thought I would be so happy to find something broken. My plunger guide is split in half. Guess that’s why it runs like 🤬.New guide should be here today. However both injectors tested and popped at 1850ish each. Anything I should do to ensure that this new guide doesn’t...

Perfect! I was originally thinking of shooting for the middle of 1750-1950. Of course I can’t wait see what they actually read!

No problem. I ordered the parts separately as it was much cheaper except for sr8515. I now am waiting on parts. GMG seems to be pretty slow on shipping. I am still waiting for the capacitor for my VR!! Oh well. Now working on pop tester and should be able to try it out tomorrow. By the way. The...

@Ray70 Thanks for the info and price savings. Big difference. However I can’t find the sr8515 anywhere! I have had mine out and looked ok but would like to have a spare. Do you know of a retailer that carries them?

Ray do you see any other parts I may need for the pump install.

@Ray70 Perfect I’ll see what parts I need to uninstall and reinstall plus get a plunger guide just to be safe assuming I can find the parts. As for the pop tester I was planning to go the porta power route as I have several. Just ordered what I think will be the right connections to make the...

@Ray70 Im sorry I don’t need to confuse you also. I will recheck the flow test just to make sure. Do you have a fool proof way for me to check the timing. If I have to remove the pump I just want to make sure I have the parts needed to reinstall. But prefer not to take it off if not needed. Also...

@Ray70 Thanks again for getting me straight. I still want to recheck the flow test that I did yesterday but I was getting fuel before PC. Fuel Stopped and I was dead on PC. Then I got fuel shortly after passing PC. Fuel went from solid stream to off and back to solid stream. But there wasn’t...

@Ray70 @jamawieb Thanks for the info and adjustment tip. I have not messed with the top hex or Allen screw. I plan to let them soak for a day or two and then reassemble. I was messing with the flow test and checking timing but after reading more I believe I need to redo checking the timing. I’m...

What should I soak my injectors in to clean them? Do they need to be torn down further than the photos for soaking?? This is what they look like after 5-8min run yesterday. They were cleaned prior and looked way better than this. I will update later as what I did today as far as flow test but...

That’s what I’m afraid of. Is cylinder 1 by the air filter or the end of the machine by oil cooler.

Thank you. Just found it in the manuals. Goi G to do the flow test first.

Ray70 Thanks I definitely want to check the timing. I’m currently trying to find the step by step procedure. I’m working on the unit today but at this point I don’t want to start it anymore until I have checked the timing.

Chainbreaker thanks for the link. I have all the manuals out of that section now.

Jamawieb thanks for the info. chainbreaker thank you as well. and for the tips. so I am thinking I should at least check the timing and then see where I’m at. Valve adjustment was already gonna be on my to do list so might as well do it now. If the timings good then proceed to the next route...

Also today it seemed the head was getting pretty hot as it would smoke a little after shutting off. Didn’t do that before or when running correctly.Louvers opened 1/4 -1/2” no load.

Also I do have the Ambac 50 pump. I was also wondering if those cracking glow plugs were causing some of the issue. Is there a cross reference for the glow plugs. I had found the Champion 182’s but it will be a while before they arrive. I have off work tomorrow and would like to get back to...

Chain breaker, yes you were heading me I. The right direction all along. I thought about all day yesterday and never new there was a missing cable. As far as hunting it will start and sometimes I have full throttle and sometimes it will not go above 55hz. But whatever it decides to run at it...
