read again... crimp then solder

other way around you just mash up the solder and it does less good

 

[FORDMAN41291]

ok, everyone wish me luck I am going to go push blue down the hill then install it cycle the gp's and then crank it say a prayer she turns over

ok, fine, I am sorry for my so called "ignorance" or what ever you wanna call it....

Sorry again, I just havent had a good day.... I guess if your at home by yourself for hours on end with no one to talk to it gets to ya....

Ignorance is not a fault, or a problem. We all are here to make each other a little less ignorant. To that end we post information; information is the tool that banished ignorance.
Humility is always a good thing. Pride is what goes before a fall, as the saying goes.

Hope the crimp/ solder helps, and your truck starts.

In any event, post back what happened. Did you see the video of how fast one of these engines should spin on the starter?

 

[FORDMAN41291]

I did I believe Ken said it must spin atleast 300- 350 RPM's

thanks again for all your help

PS. does anyone have any spair parts for a Briggs and Stratton Push Mower?

thanks

For the record you have not earned my respect past the point of owning a diesel and making the effort to get it on the road and keep it there.

I am not a "wanna be" anything. I AM a professional diesel technician and I also AM a mechanic to those who have earned my respect.

I admire your courage for joining the armed forces and your willingness to defend our country, rights, and freedom.

I feel that I have been more than patient and helpful and have yet to get anything but snide, disrespectful comments from you. You show others respect and show them that you are to be respected yourself.

I listen to "punk rock" and follow a lot of its ideals, I also grew up on a farm in a small town in Indiana. I know the meaning of hard work, I also know the meaning of following a worthy cause and standing against the norm. I am quite unlike most people you will meet and yes I do take pride in that.

I enjoy the fact that when I go on a "road call" at work the customer first thought is "what the hell did they send me?" After correctly diagnosing and fixing the concern for which I am there, and informing the customer of what went wrong and why. Then I have EARNED their respect and they no longer see a blue mohawk and tattoo's, they see a young professional technition (or mechanic) doing his peers and profession proud.

My peers and parents are proud of the man I have become. Little to nothing else, nor anyone, matters. I can sleep at night comfortable with who and what I am. I am proud of who I am and my ability to diagnose, repair, and modify vehicles.

I will not allow you to communicate with me in such a rude and disrespectful tone.

btw Pupil: one who has been taught or instructed by a prestigious or famous person.

I used pupil as a sign of respect not only to you but also to the other members here that are willing to instruct you. I used it in the Buddhist meaning as "student".

 

[FORDMAN41291]

Punk,

well like I said before, I am sorry, I am sorry that I disrespected you in that matter, furthermore I would much rather you call me "student" than "pupil".... and I kind of know where your coming from,people think I don't know anything because I am a backwoods country boy.... and they think I just rig everything... (part of that is true tho but only to get me by) ...
and again I thank you all fro your input on this topic, I will post tomorrows results when I re-install the cable, I ran out of time this after noon because I had more than my fair share of trouble with the darn MTD mower that I got.... and again I apologize for the disrespectfulness..

I just havent had a good day.... I guess if your at home by yourself for hours on end with no one to talk to it gets to ya....

First off, I have been busy and haven't been able to follow the thread as much as I have in the past.

You have no clue what a "bad" day is. I had one yesterday and if it wasn't for the other members on this forum, I would have been totally screwed! In2Fords (who sold his truck and barely even checks the forum anymore) drove from Lincoln City to Salem just to try to help me out, and punkmechanic left his garage open to me while he was gone so I could get the lines I needed and fix my truck and get back home! We have tried to be helpful, calm, and explain stuff. I can't make you READ what is WRITTEN, but from your replies, it is pretty clear that you aren't reading what we write because you keep asking the same questions over and over again. If you don't get the answer you want, you start a new thread. I don't give a crap it you respect me or not, but if you don't want to listen to advice, DON'T ASK FOR IT! I'm getting ready to leave Oregon for work. If getting the truck running is too hard or too expensive close the hood, put the keys up, and PM me a price. I will fly to TN, and drive the damn thing back home.

READ THE REPLIES TO THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK AND YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER!

I have tried to watch what I say so that no unwanted consequences happen to me, but after the way you have treated other respected members I doubt anyone will care about this post.

Until some respect is shown and you start to actually READ the thread, I will ONLY be following this thread from this point on to see if the truck is even worth buying once you give up on it.


Pupil (Noun) : A student who is taught by a teacher [Latin pupus a child]

Since we (i.e. "teachers") are TEACHING you (i.e. "pupil") how to fix your truck, you are considered a "pupil"

 

[k_williams1982]

heath-
i'm going to make him a martyr by banning him unless he violates rules.
he's done it once already though.
he is doing fine by making his own rope.

[FORDMAN41291]

yes I seent your post on your line breaking and your vacuum pump belt break... and yes I do know what a bad day is one time I got suspended from school for 3 days for being late.....thus forth, some other things bad happened that day, on the other hand like I said I would much rather be called a "student" than "pupil" any day thus like I said before I apologize for the attitude I had towards everyone today....

 

[FORDMAN41291]

oh and I will never give up on trying to get this truck to run I will not give the satisfaction to my neighbor who thinks it will never run.... that's all he's been saying I don't care if I have to do an engine rebuild from the ground up.... I refuse to give up...

i saw your video on youtube, it does crank slower than one should, but it should fire if its getting fuel or atleast attempt it, earlyier in the long ass thread you kept mentioning timing this timing that bla bla bla, me and my gran pa tryed starting a single cylinderr diesel generator from about i dont know 1950-1980's somewere in that era well the fuel system was shot complteley so we just oulled the glow plug out shot some oil in the started crankin let loose of the compression release and it hit a little so stopped and out more oil in reapeted the same and boom it hit and busted the hole nose cone off the starter casue i kicked back and tryed shoving the piston backwards cause of the timing being wrong because we were injecting oil(fuel) at the wrong time, my point is if you were getting fuel at all it should do something weather that something is hit pop sputter run bad or judt constant smoke out the tail pipe, as of right now i dont think your getting any fuel period to that engine!!!

 

[FORDMAN41291]

I know I am getting fuel because, when I crack a injector it's sprays fuel, Ken mentioned that if it's not turning fast enough it won't catch... the reason why it wasnt turning fast is because I had one battery and the cable was completely gone (the o terminal) so I replace the o terminal and I am going to put the cable in tomorrow so hopefully it will want to catch or do something I will be happy if it back fires and sputters a little ...and there was smoke coming out of the tail pipe, it wasnt rolling but there was some and when I went back there I smelt the tail pipe and it smelt like burning diesel... so maybe ken was right and the starter wasn't turning fast enough, i don't know well see what happens tomorrow...

 

[k_williams1982]

It's not just me that's been saying that stuff... EVERYONE who has posted to this thread has been telling you what is wrong. First things first, get the cable installed and then try to start it. Let us know what it does after the new cable and terminal. I hope that you have used this "down time" to get the batteries (plural meaning more than one) charged up too so that you can have the best results possible.
