Its a little rough, I cut some cornners, but its functional.

I just ordered some small slitting saws for the mill. I'm going to attempt to make a brass splined shaft for the K&N switch.

Ok guys, its time for me to fess up as to what a dumb-axx I am. :-( So I finally got around to reinstalling that switch today, and guess what the starter wouldn't engage. No power on SW-1:6 or SW-1:8. After some looking around and head scratching, I saw one of the afore mentioned jumpers...

I haven't reinstalled it yet. The Jumpers (like from 2 to 4) are internal. You can see it the picture from yesterday.

From my understanding, the C11's can be configured differently. As you know, the C11 operator on the C57400 assembly is 5 postion, two being spring return. The C11 on the assembly I bought was maybe only two position. ?? Don't recall. I just bought it hoping to steal the shaft from it. As...

I swapped the shaft from the new C11 into the old. You gotta be real careful to keep pressure on the stack of contacts and the C11 positioner. I didn't, and springs and lifters? (the things that ride on the cams) went flying. Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly! It took me days of fiddling to get...

spring-return versions of the Series 31 design begin with the first two digits “75” rather than “31”

My son broke the knob off my start switch. I was able to find a Kraus & Naimer C11 operator on eBay; hoping to replace the shaft. I put the new shaft in, but somehow got the cams misaligned. Three days much frustration later, I finally got it. During the process I had requested a quote...

The pic to me looks like an injector pump...though I'm a new 803 owner. I'd guess the rubber line is on the suction side of the injector pump. I'll pull that and see if you have flow and temporarily connect a fuel pressure gauge there.

I bought a running 803 on govplanet last month. Guys here on Steelsoldiers were a big help in getting in operating in tip top shape. I love the idea of getting an engine from a 400hz unit. Good luck.

Update: Got the pressure gauge. Got a small load center and some heaters. I've been running it as hard as it would allow. Was still struggling to get above 75% load and frequency was up and down plus and minus 2 hz. I made up a punch list of things from all of your suggestions. In working...

I ordered a fuel pressure gauge and a tee.

Interesting! I do always find a bunch of carbon on top of the unit after running it.
