Glad to hear the old Red beast is up and running. You had a very common problem on Rosamaster pumps. HydroTek is telling you basically the same thing I was saying, just different wording.
Another problem I have had, which you may or may not have is that the supply line from the tank to the pump gets clogged right inside the tank. A little compressed air blow back and she can be good for a while again. But when this happens, it starts fine, idles fine, runs up with no load, but will not pull under load. Acts the same as a really clogged filter. It has just gotten to the point that I blow this old 706 back each winter just as maintenance.
I do not know if that price is right or not. The injectors on my 706 with the 282 are 125 a piece. These are really big injectors with precombustion chamber and glow plugs. Brand new pencil injectors for my 301A JD were only 27, NEW in the bag.
