If you're referring to like a G series 773 with the external mounted fuel solenoid, then yes, when you replace it there is one thing you need to verify. That shutdown lever on the injection pump will move until it hits an internal stop. When you connect the linkage for the fuel solenoid you need to make certain that the spool of the solenoid fully retracts all the way into the solenoid until it bottoms out before that fuel lever reaches that internal stop. If it's the other way around, fuel lever hits internal stop and solenoid spool isn't fully bottomed out inside the solenoid it will cause the solenoid coil to fail. Adjust the linkage so the solenoid spool fully bottoms out inside the solenoid.
Ive been using it about 3 weeks and it hasnt went bad yet, always something else taking my time, son broke a hydraulic cylinder on the dozer this eve so there a weld job and all the while im trying get freshly rebuilt excavator engine re installed, always plenty to do when you use old stuffOk, Willie, I just stumbled onto this one. If I understand it, the solenoid opens the fuel passage when the coil is energized. When not energized, both the spool and the mechanism return to (towards) the fuel-closed condition. Isn't the solenoid simply either energized or not energized? When energized, does it not draw the same current regardless of the actual position of the solenoid actuator spool?
Lol. I've never known you to be wrong, so I'm betting there is some obscure explanation for it. Let's have it!
