    Let me know how the hunt for a bigger tank goes. I have the same basic jayco setup ('87 econoline) and would like to add a larger fuel capacity tank for the WMO blend i'd like to run and keep the other tank full of #2

    WVO blends - what needs modified?

    What sort of setups are you guys using to filter your WVO? I have a good hookup on some. I'm thinking if i can get wmo easier I will just use that, but I'm all for experimenting with alternative fuels right now.

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    what would be the adverse effects of driving this to a friends barn where i could work on it "not outside" ? It starts, idles, and revs just fine. I haven't tried moving it in the yard at all, but since the lever is no longer moving the piston in when the throttle is depressed, what effects...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    I know this thread has become a lot to read, but the advance piston is not stuck one bit. I figured that out once the arm broke. It's simply frozen up on the roll pin. i can run the truck right now with the arm broken and it idles, revs some, and returns to idle just fine. I'm gonna try...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    That picture helps a LOT It turns out the plunger was never sticking, it's always just been the rollpin on the arm itself and the top half of the arm broke off when i got a little too aggressive with it (idiot mistake) I still can't get the lever unstuck on it... i think it just needs removed...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Zrexryder, you don't have private messages turned on in your options. I think this forum requires you to manually turn them on.. would you like me to contact you another way or turn on pm's?

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Finally found a picture to verify what broke (see attachment) I really appreciate the offer to send the arm! I'll send you my address and even paypal you a few bucks for the hassle if you have paypal. I can't wait to have this truck moving on the road again. I'm not sure what the top part of...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    I could really use some help on if anyone can tell me whether that broken piece is part of the arm and whether i can just replace this arm with another arm or if i'm going to be stuck buying a new pump. Also, a picture of this side of the injection pump would be very very useful. every...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Does anyone have a picture of the side of the injection pump that all this stuff is on? i can't seem to locate one. I have no idea how these things work, but i'm assuming the part that broke off is what's on the top half of the roll pin, since the lever no longer pushes in under acceleration...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Here are some pictures of what happened. I was trying to work that lever back and forth after htiting it with some penetrating oil, i felt something break loose That piece of metal sitting on top of the radiator is what i found laying in the area. I'm assuming my lack of patience and being...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Well, things got a little more F'd up. I don't know if this was just a result of my impatience or whatever, but what's done is done. The plunger no longer moves in or out when the throttle is moved. it just sticks in whichever position it's in, plus i found this broken off piece of aluminum...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    I'm prying on the arm by the way, and when i pry out on the arm the plunger comes out with it.

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Could it be the lever arm being stuck? how would i go about unsticking this thing? On my other 6.9 it seems to flop around freely and isn't even really connected to the piston Should i just shoot it with some pb blaster and give it a little wack to try to free it up a bit? i'm kinda curious...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Ok, i just removed the stock fuel filter and dumped it out, filled with atf, ran the engine for a minute or so and revved it a few times That piston still sticks, but i haven't given it much time. Here are some videos i took for youtube... I'm not sure i did a good job of conveying what i...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    I really appreciate all the help so far. This forum seems really mature compared to a lot of other automotive related forums. When i manipulate the accelerator, the piston/arm thing on the driver's side moves inward, when the throttle cable is released back to idle position, the piston does...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Very good advice. I'm going to try that all out sometime this weekend Luckily I have no problem cruising this thing around, and I'm in my 20's without a family (well, at least for a little while longer) so if I get stranded, it's not as big of a deal. The fuel is very old in this thing...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    Dying when returning to idle. This was not part of the issue before, so this is a new thing. The fuel in the truck is old and the tanks are both riding on empty. It's a low mileage unit that's still in good condition, it's just been neglected over the past couple years for various reasons and...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    should i be able to actively watch this thing move while manipulating the throttle from under the hood? you're saying it should move outwards as i add throttle and back in as it returns to idle? While it has low miles, it has been sitting for a while. Another symptom that popped up today is...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    I was planning on adjusting the timing at some point. I'm almost positive that this piston is getting stuck, though? it seems that it gets stuck "in" and if i pry out with a screwdriver at idle that the truck starts running "normal" again and runs normal for a bit until this lever/piston thing...

    Problem with injection pump on 6.9

    To be clear, I'm not very adept when it comes to diesel engines and fuel systems, but I think I can do my best to explain what is going on I have a jayco RV with a 6.9 in it and just under 70k miles on the whole setup. There is a definite problem with the injection pump where I'm getting...
