I think a turbo charged lister/oid in my F350 crewcab is a much better idea!

I live in Sun Lakes which is near Phoenix, AZ.  I don't need a gen here,  but my future plans will require one. 

Thanks for the help.  There are some chinese heads still available, none locally that I have found yet, and a few from Joel who had a link on George's website.

But he has no pulleys.... Need a 11.25" one.  George advertises them for about $200.00 but he hasn't got back to me..

Hmmm ST plus 200, maybe I should look for a PMG and a smaller/less expensive/more readily available pulley.

Looking back at all this maybe I should have bought a surplus or used gen set to rebuild. 

I still need to build a skid and mount everything, including the cooling system yet to be determined

My SO thinks I should build a trailer to haul it around also!

Maybe I will get er done in another 3 years.

As the plunger moved up during cranking there was a noticable increase in discshrge from the pump.  I realize this is probably not very significant but thought it should be mentioned anyway.

The seal looks like it has overtightened,  but I had no replacement. 

I have ordered a new pump.  I realize the discharge is small... but it was almost non-existent.

I will clear this hurdle, it is just a little (no,a lot) frustrating.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to crank it for 2-3 minutes to se if there are any results.

Where did you find that seal?  Any part numbers?

Thx, Jim

Saw one very similar to this only 3 cylinders in Jerome, AZ.

He wanted $10 to start it up..... Air start,  it was worth every penny.

Something I will never forget.

OK It's official.  It is now a dog chasing a tail.

I can only assume that the fuel is leaking by internally, small crack. not sealing properly, etc.   I tore down the pump again and did not see anything that could cause the problem.  Also carefully rechecked plunger alignment and everything else I could think of.

The only option I see now is to try a new pump.

I have checked the barrel alignment twice, but I will check one more time.

Stan:  I could try testing the injector out of the engine, but the discharge from the pump is so small that I would have to manually fill the line from the pump to the injector with a syringe, and hope I didn't lose any fuel puttting it back together.  The discharge from the pump with the rack full open is something less than a drop.

I guess I can take the pump apart ONE MORE TIME and check all the ports/pathways and alignment while I am at it. 

Thanks for the input.
