3000 Watt 28V DC Generator

[JeremyK5]

I've got a single cylinder Wisconsin engine powered, skid mount, generator. I'm having NO luck finding any service or parts info on it.
Build date 11/63
NSN 6115-975-8382
Model- JHGV3B
Engine Model- MAENLD
Generator Model- 5CD215G139 (107 amp)

It runs, but currently only gravity feed, it needs a fuel pump and a new muffler.
I've tried talking to the guy at Saturn Surplus, and no luck so far.
Any info or TM's would greatly appreciated! Thanks

Pictures coming soon, will get them posted today

Have you tried contacting Delk's?

Delk's? Hows that or where's that?

Your only hope for parts for something this old is ebay. The fuel pump you will have to rebuild yourself with new neoprene material. Any original fuel pump kit you might find will not be usable with modern fuels.

Talked to William at delk's army navy surplus in N.C. and he wasn't able to help me much. He did tell me to call him back on monday to when he's in the shop and can give me a number for a place out of FL. that can help me out with the fuel pump rebuild kit and a carb kit so I can go through it more properly. I found a muffler for it online for it 125 shipped. Kinda pricey. Here's the link to the muffler, http://www.rchmanufacturing.com/MUFFLER-FOR-THE-65-HP-WISCONSIN-ENGINE-RCH-MUFFLER.htm

The main data tag is pretty faded, I couldn't get a picture clear enough to read it. The generator tag isn't too bad though.

Ancient dinosaur for sure. That predates the MEP standardization so that is why parts and a manual are hard to come by. Every branch was having their own made, making for a touchy logistic situation. Any pictures of the fuel pump close up?

Nice unit. These were used in arctic conditions to assist in starting trucks and equipment. That's why it is ducted with the discharge cooling air going back into the flywheel housing.

Here's a close up of the fuel pump. When I tried to take the fuel lines off, the fittings broke. I tried a Kohler fuel pump, but no luck. It had the right mounting flange and bolt pattern, but the pump body was too big and was hitting the engine block.

That's rebuildable. Take it apart and replace the diaphragm with modern material. There will be a rivet holding the center of the diaphragm to the actuating arm, you will have to carefully unswage the rivet so that you can reswage it.

I know this is an old post but I just picked up the same generator. Any TM for this or other info on this generator?

The same kind of set as the picture? What is the Stock Number on the top data plate? I have a few OLD TM's, but need to know Stock number and or Part number.

I have two TM's for the JHGV3A model. Not the same, might be close?
