Title: Multiple solenoids on IP?
Post by: Erase_The_Eraser on February 18, 2008, 10:52:23 pm

Hey guys, I have been searching for days on this one. What is the extra solenoid on the front of the injection pump all about? On older Injection pumps there is just a block off plate. This is on an '89.
TIA!

isnt it like a ksb that is also used on the cummins pumps?
basically a "cold start/warmup device"

Hey, yeah, its opposite of the lever. My buddy has a cummins with the VE pump and it has the same thing. Cold start you say? so it must be on a timed relay then. its strange, it seems like my diesel starts better without it hooked up.
