Time to defeat my FSS?

[nelstomlinson]

Oops, it looks as if the mechanical shutoff mechanism was in the pump body. I'm looking at page 9.1 of this manual, part 36, SHAFT ASSY., shut off.

So, there may never have been a governor cover for our pumps that was set up for manual fuel shut off. Does anyone have Stanadyne SB63?

If you remove the arm that is actuated buy the fss/connected to the fss, the engine will run......but wont shut off.

I think a manual shutoff could be achieved with a little fab work and drill. Would probably be much better with access to a mill and lathe.

Yay, tools. I like the way you think.

How would you seal the pass-through? What would you pass through, for that matter?

I don't have those answers because I have never tried to do it. But I do know that if there is a desire to make it happen, anything can be done.

As for what to pass through should be the easiest part. I would probably start with a piece of stainless round stock.

With access to a mill you could even completely remake a billet top cover.

I have a mill, but I am by no means a machinist. What I've learned is that buying the mill is cheap, getting all the tooling you need for various projects is what gets expensive. A comfortable couch is very important.

I am definitely no machinist either. But I have always been able to muddled my way through anything I have needed.

I have a small lathe and have been on the hunt for a small mill also.

I have an old Rockwell 10×36 lathe, I seem to use that more often than not. With either the mill or the lathe, I can usually build one of just about anything, if you want a duplicate.... well I'm not that guy.
