Ouch... I know of a guy who had that happen and it stripped the timing gears. I still have the IP on my bench as an example of worse case failure!

Check for voltage at the fuel shutoff valve (the two wires going to the injection pump) before disassembling. If you have 24 volts there, then the problem is likely to be fuel supply. Remove the fuel feed to the injection pump (it's gravity fed) and see if you get a flow of fuel. If yes, next...

Basically, this is the best answer. However find out what year of code your location is using, they may not have adopted 2014 yet, and that may make a difference.

A better description of what happens would help. Abrupt shutoff or seems to 'run out of fuel?' Any fault lights lit? With load or no load? The more information you give, the better the suggestions will be.

That injection pump is a very common design. I don't think you'll have problems getting it rebuilt, or finding parts if you want to rebuild yourself. I'd call Jerry or Linda Biro at Hercano <sp?> Propulsion in Ohio. He'll have the parts.

Most lawn tractors with hydrostatic drives run between 3000 and 3600 RPM. Fixed RPMs are great, my tractor basically has three speeds: 0 RPM, 3000-3600 RPM (fixed, somewhere in that range) and choke! I'd go for the water cooled version myself, sounds like a fun project.

There are those who have been jolted, and those who will be jolted. However no one completes the game without being jolted! :-P BTW, for everyone/anyone: there are two versions of the D-198 4 cylinder engine. One version has the injection pump on the intake side mounted in the hole low center...

First, I hope things work out and you don't get laid off. Second, don't worry about bonded neutral. That's the buyer's issue. The question as to bonding or not is not an absolute. Done properly either configuration can be used, and be safe. Third, (sorry, this is going from memory and it's...

Humm, that's not good (though I don't think it is your main problem.) My fine adjust on my 004 works as expected, so I think you should check that cable and the knob assembly out some. There are some adjustment(s) on the injection pump--I've never done much with them. However, the throttle cable...

I would not panic over a half Hertz change in frequency but what I'd do is run it up with a more balanced load. I bet it does the same thing (hunts) and that you're going to have to do some adjusting of the engine speed setup.

I'll sell it for that $200 too... Buyer can either pickup or arrange shipping, but I would be willing to bolt it to a pallet. The actual transfer switch is not that large (see the third picture) if someone wants that I'll be glad to take it out and ship it. I got it to use with my MEP-004, but...

http://imgur.com/a/P9gzV#4 and I wonder how SS will handle an imgur album! I may have to redo this, I'm not sure. Oh, well no preview. Anyway these are five pictures of a 3-phase automatic transfer switch. Before anyone says: yes, there is a key zip tied to the switch inside!

Realize that diodes are not wear items, they are either good or bad. Replacing good original diodes that have a proven 'track record' with diodes that are new, probably imported, and certainly don't have a 'track record' increases the potential for failure (infant or early life).

I have a number of Russian friends, if you wish I can ask them. But I agree, it may be a lost cause--it's in really rough shape.

I've got a transfer switch that is three phase... Drop me a PM and I can shoot pictures of it. The enclosure is big but that's because the switch's computer board is big (it supports a lot of functionality such as automatic startup/shutdown, automatic test mode (with an optional timer). But the...

Blast, too bad you're so far away from me.

I (strongly) suspect that the heat will damage the reed switch if you try to solder it. The wires are normally welded which transmits little heat to the part.

Welded, not soldered. There is 'good' news, at least I think so... You can get reed switches at RadioShack, and any place that sells alarm systems, and they are not expensive.

Hercano Propulsion (spelling wrong) run by Jerry Biro (his wife Linda does the work, uh, make that administrative work!) has all the necessary parts, including gasket sets. His prices are very good, and they are professional. Do a search of this sub-forum and you'll find several posts made by me...

The concept of grounding a generator set is often not fully understood by users. Grounding had no meaning on the low voltage (battery) 24 volt DC system. It doesn't use ground and simply achieves its power relative to the battery's negative terminal. Grounding is used to reference the...
