Diesel Power Magazine 1st gen buildup

i am setting mine up at 1200 ml/min (55 psi)

[cummins king]

so is that around 450cc's DT

[DTanklage]

i think that ml and cc is same amount of volume

?

[cummins king]

[DTanklage]

i checked it is equal volume

1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter

when rating a pump tho you cant just say it pushes so and so many cc's (or ml's)

you have to list per stroke or per minute or per hour or something like that for it to mean anything

[cummins king]

well the book should be in the mail tomorrow, is there an write up on it in this issue
ck

Yup I actually think there is a couple things in this month.....

i know you are the original ve guru, however, when i removed the lever i got more torque so i am kinda confused by your statement

Don,

I was told the same thing and could never figure that out. I have not used a bench tester in all my days but found that with the lever installed it acts as an internal stop to the gov arm assy. I remove that lever in all the pumps I do unless the owner is asking for no smoke.

One customer is in Cal and can't have smoke so I don't know how you get by with pump mods like you do.

guess some are "drivers" and some arnt

once its warm there is only smoke when i want smoke

mine with the big sticks and no afc only smoke when i make it smoke too. its that magig pedal that controls that lol.

i found that without the afc lever, my governor didn't work properly. i don't know if there is some adjustment that could be made to offset the phenomenon, but i didn't like what would happen.

with the lever, my foot was the cruise control. for the most part if i kept my foot (or something else) resting on the pedal, i stayed going the same speed. up hills, down hills, flats, headwinds, whatever. once i took the lever out though, i lost this ability. if i started up a hill, the truck would ever so slightly slow down. every time the grade shifted, i would have to make an adjustment. around here, that is a major PITA.

anyway, that tells me that something is no longer set the way it's supposed to be. what that is, i have no idea. i never got that far into the geometry of the pump.

[swank]

and also, maybe it was completely unrelated.

I wish everyone understood that. Right foot, right FOOT![/b]

... i stayed going the same speed. up hills, down hills, flats, headwinds, whatever. ...

I was kinda surprised how well that worked with a hand throttle I installed. It was almost like a real cruise control driving cross-country last summer. After I found the speed I wanted it would hold within +-5mph with no input from the floor pedal at all, except for the steepest grades.

[DTanklage]

mine still does that...

w/o the lever
