Did you have 5 ports on yours? Four high pressure and one inlet?
Hmm this makes sense as well just extra steps (and a little confusing). So you’re saying I’ll have to remove the internal unloader first before replacing the injector and installing a new unloader valve on the outside? Could you send pictures yes that will help. I will try taking off hex brass plug first as @dperez mentioned, seems easier. Then I will remove the inter unloader if that doesn’t work. Hopefully I don’t have to resort to replacing the whole pump!
Try the one with no hex head first. It’s counter sunk, no head, recessed hex for Allen wrench/hex key
This is pretty awesome stuff @dperez and @Crystal-Clean.
If you research on here back to the beginning of time on this subject, They say it can’t be done, That’s why I backed off last night and said it couldn’t because I didn’t wanna give bad advice, my to cents, carry on fellas, fascinating stuff !!
I barely remember the thread because I didn’t get to curious about it as I steer clear of homeowner grade stuff. Now I’m just curious
Because he wants to recirculate back to buffer to save his pump from burning UP @dperez. Lol
That’s why I called in the PWRA top mechanic to help, Its above my pay grade
Oh I’m with him now I just couldn’t follow all the jankyness
So here’s what I would have done if I was @Crystal-Clean pull one of the hp plugs of his and install a pressure relief valve and set it a few hundred psi under the set pressure on the built in unloader that can not, will not bypass and bypass via high pressure relief valve. Done
Damn exact same unloader lol
That’s a good idea. I may have done that had I known anything about it when I got started. Lol
Yup you got it
Just call me Mr. Impossible
Yup. Going to do a 5.5 or 8 build now
My first rig was purchased in pieces. Everything I bought was either worn out, broken or dismantled. I scrimped and saved and repaired everything I had to build a hot water machine. Then I went on to rebuild my first transmission on my first work truck to move my machine around lol all professional equipment worn broken in need of repair professional equipment but I skipped right past the homeowner stuff because I already knew better
Direct drive final answer. Bet you $2
@Crystal-Clean this is a gear driven pump
I am aware of what it gear drive pump looks like. lol that’s why I said yes to @Hotshot. It is a direct drive. I’m going to do a 5.5 or 8 gear build.
My bad I see he asked if it was a gear. I thought he said direct.
