    New alternator for 24v 3B

    I didn't have any luck finding an alternator shop to rebuild the 24v alternator for my BJ42. So now I am considering updating to an Isuzu replacement. It is 24v and has a vacuum pump for a reasonable price. Of course it will take some effort to make it work. Mounting: The Isuzu alternator...

    3B 24v alternator refurbish parts

    The alternator on my 1982 BJ42 recently quit charging. I pulled it and took it to my local alternator shop to have them rebuild it but they said they couldn't get parts. I'm not opposed to trying it myself, has anyone source a rebuild kit recently? Picture for those that like them: -Jay

    3B fuel leak

    Bingo! Add @duncanrm to the list of people on this forum I owe a drink! It is seeping out of that drain plug. It won't tighten down anymore but I pulled it and there is a cooper washer there I will replace. Thanks again!

    3B fuel leak

    Thanks for all the input. @ducanrm makes a good point. I'm not seeing any smoke or high idle symptoms of a bad diaphragm. I will crawl back under it this weekend to see if I can spot the exact source.

    BJ42 won't run after draining water from filter

    Here is my filter setup The knob in the center unscrews then I can pump it. I think I take out the plug at the bottom (with arrow pointing out) and pump out the air there?

    BJ42 won't run after draining water from filter

    I recently drained the water from my 3B fuel filter and cruiser ran fine for a trip to store. It started right up to go home but promptly died. Do I need to prime the fuel? I pulled the batteries and have them on a charger since they died trying to get it going again, they are getting pretty old.

    3B water pump

    Thanks for the replies, I was waiting to get the pump before I posted an update. Old and New I noticed the gasket was damaged a little during shipping. The crease isn't near the coolant holes, do you think it will cause leaks? -Jay

    Turbo 3B with a 4spd

    I recently added Diesel42's turbo kit to my 4 speed and it has really improved drivability around town. I have a red light at the base of a hill that I always seem to hit and it is a huge improvement getting up that hill from a dead stop. -Jay

    3B fuel adjustment

    Ha!! That was my Saturday night! It blew off while on a test ride. I held it in place with some gorilla tape until I could get home and put a proper clamp on it.

    3B fuel adjustment

    Thanks for the confirmation! I haven't adjusted it yet. My temps seem pretty low but I want to do a few more test runs. Cruising at 55mph in 4 gear I am running just under 650 degrees F. I will search out a few hills to see what I can get for a max temp.

    3B fuel adjustment

    I just installed a turbo on my 3B and now I need to adjust fuel delivery. I've read through a few other posts but I would like I little confirmation before I go at this nut that will not budge. So I need to loosen the nut circled in red and then rotate the "puck/drum" to adjust fuel?
