It will have to be Lunch then.... with your brewing background I suspect any beer I could offer you from America would rate somewhere between inferior and insulting. possibly even undrinkable! rofl

Check the large wires going into and out of K1, especially the ones leaving K1 and going to the lugs. Where the wires bend and go around the corner of the sheet metal they will sometimes wear through the insulation and short to the chassis. Perhaps K1 was sticking and you freed it up, only to...

That is correct! I will send you a PM , as it looks like you have insufficient post to send me one. Thanks for the plug Guy!

If I recall correctly, X and Y are just the switched leads for the illumination bulb +. I think 24V power comes into X and when the K1 contactor closes it allows 24V to pass through to the illumination bulb. 11 and 12 are the + and - that control the K1 relay itself. 12 being - and 11 being +...

Correct, I meant the entire metal end of the generator enclosure, radiator and all comes out with about 6 bolts. It looks like my description above was not accurate. I'm not quite understanding how things got so damaged if the valves didn't hit the pistons. Do you suspect the valves were stuck...

Any new pictures you can share?

Good work being persistent everyone! As soon as I first read this post I thought CR-1 but OP said it was good, so I immediately checked that off the list. Just goes to show you that nothing can be taken for granted. Test...Test...Test...Test....replace....confirm

Don't worry about the head gasket thickness, my experience has been that using the "standard" thickness gasket that comes in the gasket kits works just fine. I'm not even sure if you can still buy the other thicknesses or not. You should just remove the radiator and shroud assembly. Its easy and...

Perhaps, but it's rubber touching steel and the part that touches is where the steel nipple of the metering pump is inside the hose, so there is very little chance for any vibration or movement between them, but setting them all with a slight gap would work just fine.

Something you could try is to 1 by 1 remove the line and injector, reorient it so it's off to the side of the motor and crank it over and observe the fuel spray from each metering pump / injector combo. If you find 1 that doesn't spray when it should or continues to spray after the fuel...

They are fine left out in the weather but keeping the rain and snow off it will make it last even longer!

One other thing to keep in mind is that the metering pump levers will move easier once the pump in installed and slightly compressed. When out of the unit the spring on the bottom is being held on by pulling against the plunger, once installed that spring force on the plunger goes away. Used...

Battery covers should be arriving ~Tuesday

How can we get a bulk shipment sent to the states? (y)

Well, for starters you have to bolt the pumps down otherwise the pins will hit on the underside of the block and bind up. Look at the sticky at the top of the generator forum for tips on installing the metering pumps. Also, the linkage is not connected to the lever arm with a solid connection...
