oil pump gasket replacement & ps pump replacement

[Kim K Kaiser]

I got my parts in to replace gasket on the 63 cdv oil pump that is leaking.

reading in the manual, it says to remove engine front covers described in 2a.

that is a BUNCH of steps to remove the gasket and the two sets of gears,   or am i over reading that and should i just stick to the disassembly while its on the engine, those 4 cap crews look easy enough access, and proceed to disassemble then reassemble under 5b and 6a  

secondly, i received the PS pump and two new lines.. pump off ok,, pulley off ok,, but those hoses back on the steering column are a real bear,, any suggestion to get those loose, only thing at this point i can see to do is cut the metal piping at at the nut and slide a socket over it,, is there a easier access to pop it loose,,  i have put some nut buster spray in it to sit all night,, see if any easier tomorrow.

Sincerely

Kim

Hi again,  well, bored with TV, i went out to check plugs. puled two n each side.  

they are wet on the threads, but dry on the tip or spark spot.  i also did a check on the spark on another plug location besides #1, and it also had spark

int really notice any flooded smell after a couple times to start,  soon,,, looking for more tips and suggestions,

thanks again

any thoughts at all on what i should test or do next to get this thing started?  i just dont have the mechanical knowledge to know where to go next.  I dnt know if its the temp ignition starter i have put in, or if its related to the clacking noises of the other day,  i just dont know where to turn next.  one day it starts perfectly, next day, dead battery and no start,, makes no sense at all to me

i checked the fuel lines and undid one at the filter,, i am getting fuel at least to there, what could be next,?

[Kim K Kaiser]

Well, i put the new starter in last week, things went good, started fine, then, within hours, ignition wire at ignition switch burned up, i posted pictures earlier, so, i got a 3 post generic ignition starter, and it fired up, during initial run, the flapping started. I put some oil in carb to create smoke as directed, no apparent exhaust leak, but i never did get much smoke, only a couple table zpoons of oil

The next day, engine dead, i assumed i left engine on in start and burned up the petronix 1 unit. Ordered new one, replced.
Replaced ps pump.
Did some engine cleaning, no hi pressure, just gunk and hose on easy spots.

Tested for spark, pulled plugs random from couple spots, i hv spark.

Today, i loosend fuel hose as it enters the fuel filter, gas comes out on start up.

Tightened pcv cap, i figure thats were lots of gunk has accumulated on top on engine.

Battery is full charge, new starter seens to be turning over fine.

I am waiting on starter from Russ to come in.

And thats the saga to date

i tried the hot wire test,, same result,,, turnover but not fire,,

will wait on starter b4 fooling with it again,, thanks,

Went bk w same. The 1181ls. Only two wires to hook up. Dint want to complicate things, no. Did not remove dist. Its all under the cap.

[Kim K Kaiser]

NEW VIDEO!!!!!   damn  thing,, started!!!!

i went back out, bored,, hooked the wires up again, thought  would ck sparks,, i put in the old flamethrower coil, no spark,

put in a new generic coil to fit the 63,, and BAM!!!  started with the hot wire method,  hell, i have no idea, going to go back and try the flamethrower coil..and just see if it will start.. but the original problem was the clacking,!!!  when the starting showed up

anyway, attached is a video, short, but i think you get the sound it making,, as that was the initial thing, before it quit and wouldnt start,,   let me know wheat you think of the clinking and clanking,, 

i can say its idling higher her in the south at 300 feet than in MT at 6000, on  cold start, dont know if that makes any difference at all to anything, just throwing that out there for fodder.

ck video, see what you think the racket is,,

That sounds like lifter chatter.

[Kim K Kaiser]

is that good ( i doubt it) or really bad,, 

[Kim K Kaiser]

i went back out an hooked up the flamethrower coil,, no start,, hooke up generic, started, so i guess the coil got over heated during the battery drain,, hell,who knows,, anyway,

i let it run a little more, and i hit the gas in idle, it sounds like at the end of the push of the accelerator, as it goes back to idle, it kind of puts out a pop pop, like mini back fires,, two quick little pops,, 

anyway, thats all i have for today, i am tested out,, any thoughts on the days events would be very helpful..

sincerely

Oh, im glad it started, but concerned about the clacki ng, ticking, in engine, whatever it is, . The clacking was very sudden, should i do another oil chg with one of the dtergent oils to see if it clears up?

Run an engine oil cleaner and then a fresh oil change with marvel mystery oil added into the oil.
