    Well we just went thru this situation power was out for 24 hours or so due to a big wind storm ! I put a plug on the out side of the house with a lock out on the panel ran it thru a 30 amp breaker. Haven't had to run the gen for two or so years even though I ran it out of fuel when I put it away back then ,there was just enough of that shitty fuel they sell us in the carb to create a mess ! Had to remove the carb and clean out all that crud in the carb to get it started! I learned that you need to drain the float bowl and blow it clean if your parking the gen for long periods. how ever how do you know when your going to need it that's the hard part!

    Correct doubt if you can buy shims so if you can find a 9/16 flat washer slightly thicker than what is stamped on the pump you will likely be happy with your out come !
  3. fjh
    yup thats it! Remember you need to shim it! or the engine will be slow to respond!

    Likley injector orings!

    Ambac

    Try cleaning the rpm sensor on the flywheel! An if you have oil leaking at the timing event marker change it out!

    Post a picture!

    Naw long as the compression is good it will be fine just a little to alot of black smoke till the turbo spools up!
  9. fjh
    Is your pump Ambac or Robert Bosch? This was used on both at one point however later on they changed to the lda style more universal to other manufacturers! Like Cummins and John deer!

    So remove the bimbo cylinder and inspect it if it is not protruding ! Put it back in and cap the line to it! There appears to be no shims behind that from what I can see! Put a thin washer behind the cylinder and put it back in with some silicone or pipe sealer on the treads!
  11. fjh
    Means nothing! Have it checked again ! Just saying!
  12. fjh
    Yup the extension dimension is stamped on the pump at the top! Hence the washer behind the cylinder!
  13. fjh
    The bolt must not be thread in all the way no deeper that the cylinder it’s self! Also I maybe wrong on the thread it may be coarse thread! Been a long time since I had to mess with one of these! We used to put a 9/16 flat washer behind the cylinder to speed up take off ! It would make the cylinder retract faster than the rack !

    There is no overhauling that it was sold as a unit! Un screw it ! Youll see how it is! Hint a a 9/16 fine bolt will fit the hole ! if the rod is protruding with no air to it it will not let the engine have full fuel! Just sayin!
  15. fjh
    yup sure did! your not using the puff limiter why not use that hole!???
  16. fjh
    Nope just lift the lid ! Use silicone instead of a gasket!
  17. fjh
    Maybe plugged! Take the whole fitting out!

    Did they check for combustion in the fuel? Did they check the tank vents? Did they check for something floating in the tanks? also is your truck equiped with roll over protection the yaw sensors could be causing this! all possibility's!
  19. fjh
    I took an old sensor and hollowed it out and made my own real gauge adapter!
  20. fjh
    If your truck is deleted it makes it harder to diagnose! It can be the turbo causing this! The vgt may be stuck! if the egr is corked then possibly the vgt is stuck but not knowing the fuel pressure leavse you grasping at straws J pro is one I haven't worked with it Macpro may chime in and lead you to a better option I am not a guru on these so your talking with the wrong guy! If the turbo is stuck it will not throw a code period its one of those gut feeling things!
  21. fjh
    Hate to say it but you’re chasing your tail without a computer! You need to know what that fuel pressure is and if the egr valve is closing as it should! Also if the mass flow is working correctly! Do you have codes engine light on ?
  22. fjh
    So you think its a fuel pressure problem but it could be something else!!?
  23. fjh
    Are you sure you got the lines in the right spot on the transfer pump! ??? I'm not a guru either on this ! that said its got to be something simple ! Is the fuel pump putting out ??? What was your original issue before you changed the housing??
  24. fjh
    Heinz you the man! Your definitely out pace us on that newer stuff! just keep your ears open and listen to the guys who are having the miss fortune of working on the stuff You'll learn lots! The fuel system on these is a bit of a dogs breakfast! the hokey little hand primer and all the check balls are a pain! These turds needed to have put an electric primer pump on these would have elevated a few problems ! I Could go on and on but I won't ! I've said it before ! These engines have a good foundation However some of the dumbass addons are frustrating!

    I found The main issue with this post was the comment Clicking! Very confusing comment for a syncro failure ! Usually its posed as a Grinding sound! In my opinion it sent us all down the wrong path to start with! I'm happy he got it sorted thou just sayin!
