I know it's been a few weeks, but I just got this information today. Here is a link to an AVR that is supposed to work when the quad windings were burned out by a faulty voltage regulator. https://www.flightsystems.com/standby-generator-ats-controls/model-808-basler-delco-regulator.html...

Yup. Solid ice in the exhaust manifold. And yet it starts like a new car. I've ran it about 10hrs now with no engine issues...

This is what I had to deal with. Mine starts and runs perfect. BUT.... It won't handle a load over 5KW, without the "Battle Short" switch engaged. So is it any better than the 002A's. Short answer is NO, but it's about half as loud. Mike

FOUND IT !!!! My buddy Eric came over and showed me the "AC Circuit Interrupter" Switch. (A toggle switch on the front panel) Works GREAT now.

Ether is Bad Bad Bad...... I've destroyed an 003A withe ether. I was able to get mine out by twisting it with a pair of Channel locks. My top was already off. That made it easier.

I've looked inside the control box and there are only 1 fuse and 1 little push/pull breaker

latest update.... She lives......after 1) Adding oil and filter 2) antifreeze and radiator cap 3) new fuel filter and separator 4) repairing 3 holes on fuel tank (that tank isn't easy to get out) 5) Removing water from top of pistons 6) pouring liquid wrench into the exhaust over nite 7)...

Well if misery loves company, I'm in good company..... Water down the exhaust...In the engine... And to add insult to injury, some ass drilled 3 holes in the fuel tank. I epoxied 1 and tried to fill it, only to find the other 2 drilled through the frame in the bottom. I have to agree with...

I think Eric might be on to something with the lower pressure. An incomplete burn may be too much fuel pressure. That would cause sooting. The TM calls for different pressures for different elevations and different fuels for different out door temperatures. It may be that you need to lower...

The switch, on mine, is definitely 12, 3 and 6. When it started getting cold around here, I started running Kerosene. the soot went away and burned half as much fuel. The TM calls for 125PSI do you have the correct pressure Thanks Mike

Congratz.... I started to bid, but couldn't justify the drive to LA. I've found that my H83 burns cleaner on kerosene than on diesel. Also it seamed to burn 2gals and hr on diesel and only 1gal an hr on kerosene. On start up, mine seams to want to trip out on flame failure due to air...

I got mine out and it did the same thing. The high amp draw is due to the start winding not dropping out after the normal opperating speed is reached. There is a cintrifical switch in the motor that tells the start windings to dissengage. Mine doesn't trip the breaker all the time. there is...

The inj pump is an American Bosch. I put my spare Ambak M50 in to see if the gen would even run. I dialed it in and load tested it ran it for about an hr. Absolutly no problems...... I wasn't going to leave the Ambak on there, the button number isn't the same.

I thought about the fuel tank cap as it was shutting down and right after it died (3sec) I opened the cap. There was no big sucking sound... Timing it 1 tooth the other direction was UGLY.... All black smoke out the exhaust and white smoke coming out the valve cover. Naturaly I was thinking...
