the The heatgun is an excellent suggestion. I was careful not to change or move the shims and keep track of the injectors locations, so could the timing be an issue? For sure I'll check the heat first. Thanks!

The #2 pump was stuck, although not with any visible varnish or sludge. It also was harder to turn the valve in the pump. I cleaned and polished them, (metal polish and a piece of paper) as to not scratch or gouge. The biggest and most difficult thing was getting the pumps back in the rack...

It had a fairly stuck plunger on the #2. Cleaning and polishing the plungers and bores freed up the sticky parts. I used some fine metal polish and paper so as not to scratch the surfaces or be too aggressive. Pulling the pumps both out was an oopsy, but getting them back in...

Excellent! It runs at the correct temp. Fires up, quick puff of black smoke and then settles in on the rpm. Other than checking the vibration, it's ready for a new home!

thisIt lives! It didn't run away when started, which I am thankful for! It maintains rpm and is spot on the Hz when adjusted. I do have two questions: -It shakes quite a bit. I tried to video it, but it looks like it isn't shaking in the video. I can almost hear a bit of a knock. I am familiar...

I've installed the pumps. Found the TM regarding 'stuck' rack. Adjusted both pumps and #1 allows fuel past when shutoff is in off but prime pump running. #1 does not squirt with injector lines off and cranking engine. #2 does not allow fuel past when priming, but does squirt when cranking, even...

I have removed the metering pumps again and found that the two behave differently when fuel (or in this case, penetrating oil) is supplied to the inlet. With the fuel in the "off" position, the #1 pump does not allow fuel through, while the #2 pump does. This is in contrast to how they behaved...

I didn't realize the cylinders weren't opposite. That's a bit of a relief. I did get the plungers and pins moving freely. The #2 plunger was stuck compressed. It was not compressed again when I removed the pump the second time. I'll get to the unit either later this evening or tomorrow and see...

I believe so, when I turn on the prime it sprays fuel out. Are you referring to the S1 switch? I don't see any other fuel switch?

Hi All, I'm relatively new to the site. I've posted a few things so I'm a little green here. Have worked on mechanical things for many years, just not any category consistently. That being said, I recently acquired this 802A from a govt auction. 28 hrs, looks relatively unused. Brought it home...
