Lol Yeah you can, tell them they rebuilt there own pump thats why it doesnt work rite.I'll bet I get 75-100 emails A WEEK & a lot of them are>> "I rebuilt my pump & it doesn't pump fuel anymore."
& the kicker is> "can u tell me what I did wrong"?
Not from here I cant. Lol
I walked into a big cam stc this winter. All parts fresh from the machine shop. When I asked where the old cam follower shims for a starting point the said we scrapped those gaskets off. And no cpl number either. Out came the Sweeney tool and up went the billTurned two of those down less than 15 years ago. Guy had two Cummins 350 engines take outs from road tractors and had another guy tear them down for overhaul. The tear down guy died. Engines sat in a dirt floor shop for three years then I get a call guy has parts(REAL Cummins) and needs a couple engines built so I go to look. Cranks and cams rusted, Blocks were rusted so bad could NOT see the distortions on the block deck from years of head movement I KNEW was there, three of six cam boxes were frozen up with rust. All the new parts were still in the factory boxes along with the bugs and mouse poop of allowing the critters at them much of the parts corroded or worse. Did not make an offer, told him most was scrap and would need ALL machined to start with, cams and cranks reground rods blasted, was a Crapshoot at best. I said NO really loud and told him need to find someone else with time to throw away. As far as I know they went to a scrap yard when iron hit the Chinese high.
When I was doing a lot of repair work I gave my customers options on the fix. You supply the parts and it will probably take this long for the repair and last maybe this long. You provide good help and it should be running again in this amount of time and I'll train them so they could do the same fix by themselves. The cost is the cost and I don't negotiate anything after the work is done.
I had one guy ask if it would be cheaper if I used his tools for the repair instead of mine. I explained to him that anyone that cheap probably was a high risk of not paying the bill and I left at that point.
I was triing to find a vid on my 5 cylinder mercedes pump for turning it up just a little couldnt find any , prolly a good thing i thought to myself i will just send it to you when i get around to itI have 1 RIGHT NOW.. who watched a video online & now it wont work..
I gave him A LIST of things to check.. THEN he sends me a link to the video he watched after I made mention of the one by Bundy Bear..
I don't think there could be a worse video than the BB one.. BOY WAS I WRONG.!!!
The one he found was THE WORST example of pump rebuilding I've ever seen by a "professional"..
{It really should be taken down.}
Had to call Cummins and give them the serial number and go from there. Set up the tool and took a guess judging by the book and add and subtract. Had two dead on and one was one thousand off. Ran like a topWOW Mbar.. I'll bet THAT was fun.??
We always tied the shims to the covers..& stamped the cyl # on it..
THAT made for quick work..
& NO CPL.??!!! dam, that hadta suk..
No Thank You.. That pump is the BIGGEST Pain in the Azz that was ever made.!!
Its amazing the technology that went into it tho..
Dam thing doesn't weight 12lbs but will make a grown man cry.. Lol
Heck no , runs perfect i just want to turn it up some . I know better then to touch anything but the mounting bolts lolHmmmm.... how bout' if walkerv does all the hard work and then maybe you could just put it back together????? pretty please ?????......
You wouldnt think it would be that bad i mean its missing a plunger that means discount rite lolLOL.... you know how it goes.... "as long as I was turning it up I figgered I'd clean the insides too"
