I was not aware u could run 110v off the front amature armature how ever u say it but I'll look in to it

 

[HughF]

The exciter is used to provide 110v dc to power tools - about 2kw I think maximum

Sa250 diesel has an AC exciter, they were never sold in the Uk though.

hey matey after some issues I'll text u about but if I get her running I probs could do with u and ur electric knowledge to give her the once over but I'll text u mate

The exciter is rated at 1kw,and it has a duty cycle of 60% to be mindful of.they are not designed to power a 9 inch grinder all day

 

[davidjohnperry]

cheers for the information mate it all helps at least it will power something tho

 

[davidjohnperry]

well guys not much of an update got the tank all cleaned out and filled dad re threaded the bung in the tank got it all filled and primed and then the copper leaks past the the filters which have also decided to leak so got to strip that back apart and feltel around with that but ill keep you guys posted as soon as i get things further along hopefully running and with a test weld before a full resto.

 

[davidjohnperry]

well not much progress as I've been busy dad got a by pass run to the fuel rail but sadly the fuel pump is seized so got to strip it apart and repair it or find some to repair it welder is fighting me every way at the moment

 

[ewmIreland]

The fuel pump or the lift pump?
the fuel pump is oil lubricated so first job would be drain it (if theres any oil in it) and top it up.i can show you the fill point and fill level.
there is a rack that sticks in the pump that can sometimes be easily freed up

 

[davidjohnperry]

as I've not looked at it yet dad says fuel pumps stuck in the open so I guess it's fuel but I'll look at it and I'll keep u all posted

 

[davidjohnperry]

@ewmIreland it is the fuel pump mate but can't find a schematic for it just yet. Mini mac fuel pump ?

 

[ewmIreland]

Yep thats it.i will try to upload the info tomorrow

 

[davidjohnperry]

cheers mate

 

[ewmIreland]

The manual i have is too big and wont upload.

is the cold start lever stuck in or does it return out when you turn the throttle or stop lever?

 

[davidjohnperry]

hya matey um I don't actually know I've not had chance to get to the farm to look at it

 

[ewmIreland]

Not exactly the same as your pump,but close enough.just ignore the position of the lift pump.
open the drain,its on the underside of yours,you need to be below and looking up to spot it.
then take the 2 bolts off the rectangular cover on the side.the rack and mechanisms for the four injectors are inside.gently pry the rack and lifters to hopefully unstick something.
replace cover,then open the fill level bolt,and fill to level

 

[davidjohnperry]

I think I got cha on this I'll take a look at it this weekend hopefully cheers mate for the help

 

[davidjohnperry]

here is a pic of the fuel pump racks stuck so as I'm unsure dads gunna take a look when he's got some time

 

[HughF]

My mate is a fordson major guy, he might have a pump kicking about.

 

[davidjohnperry]

hey matey I'll give my old man a chance first to see if he can unstick it first but cheers for the offer I may have to take u up on that if it comes to that what does ur mate charge for rad hoses for the engine give me a text with the price if he does

 

[HughF]

I'll ask for you mate and let you know.
