Can anyone have Old Magnets wiring diagram? I looked in the archives but when I came across an old thread it doesn't contain the diagram. Thanks

Thanks for the diagram, we guessed wrong and had much better luck after running cables to correct locations. I have the generator setup. Now my next problem is apparently fuel starvation.
We bleed the fuel lines, looks kind of weak at the injectors. Not a lot of smoke coming from exhaust so I will search archives to see if I'm missing anything. Only time I had this was on my D2
because I didn't get the fuel throttle past the indent. Oh well, I'll see what I can find. This girl hasn't ran for about 8 yrs. Thanks again..

Sounds like another case of stuck rack and/or lifters.

Yes, I had the injector cover off, the rack was sluggish and I was comparing it to my spare D2 rack movement. Since I haven't messed with this bit, I thought I would read up on it some
more since I remembered reading about it. I will spray with wd 40 in the morning and the light will be better also. Oh well, this is the part I enjoy. My D4 is a 57 and I can't wait to here it run.

Well, our fuel problem was traced to low compression of Diesel engine. We removed injectors, added some oil to cylinders and made some progress. Tried to start, got some satisfactory exhaust but not enough to start yet. Put some more oil and will let it soak until next week.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
