Injectors need to be set up for proper pop-off pressure. Done on a specialized rig. Not do-able without it. You have something in the safety circuit not activating the solenoid. Your TM (34), gives you good guidance for troubleshooting.

Oil pressure is great!

Grey smoke = incomplete combustion. I would guess your injectors need a tune-up at least. There is a member (Storeman), that cleans and tests them reasonable. Have not seen him on the board recently. All you need is fuel and compression. You are getting fuel from your answers. May not being...

I assume you changed the oil and refilled to the top fill line on the dipstick? Is the oil pressure showing pressure when running? Is it staying steady until it stops? Is the fuel solenoid staying up until after the engine stops or does the engine stop when the solenoid drops?

You are almost there... Just don't use ether...

You should have a check valve in the fuel line between the last filter and the IP. With the gunk you described in the system, would not hurt to take that apart and clean out to make sure you are getting enough fuel through to keep running.

Do you have (hear) fuel coming back to the tank with the master switch in prime/run position and engine off?

Good news! Will it stay running?

Be very careful with ether.. Been known to damage pistons easily!

If you had a click, that may be good news. These pumps are relatively easy to take apart and clean. Un-bolt and take to a bench to take apart and clean/lube. The bottom of the pump turns to unlock (see the pins and slots on the cap). There is a sliding plunger and two check valves with a...

BTDT I replace the meter amp fuse regularly.....:???:

Raz The first one I did, I used wood shims/blocks and after unbolting the two motor mounts, gently pried up with a crowbar along the edge of the mounts to just get the weight off the loosened bolts. They come out easily after that. Leave the genny mounts as is until the motor mounts are done...

There right now.... LORD J-12021 MOTOR MOUNTS DIESEL DOD MEP-003A 4 PCS

The big auction site has them for a fee... "Have 002a and 003a. Trying to decide which one to keep" Keep them both!

Do you have an option to locate the unit in a structure closer to the house (either a doghouse type or existing)? Might require taking off of what you have it on now. Would make it simpler and if you could get the power up quickly when you have an outage the misses might appreciate it more. I...

My error-happens when multitasking is pressed to extreme... Never mind.. ;_) Good luck with the new unit.

Since this unit will "run unattended for Months on end", are you the one that will be checking on it and be on call? I sold two units to neighbors and guess who does the checking, maintenance, and has to run over when they can not get the units started? Have to say that they are great...

And then there is VA DEQ with their Air Pollution Control Board!! They are getting closer to addressing air quality issues (that is right after they fix the poultry pollution issues)......

Had nothing but good experience with our electrical inspector here in VA., during my house 1200 square foot addition and generator installation. Cursory look-see of everything and was mainly interested in the main power panel breaker interlock installation and operation. (Page County-VA)

If it were mine, I wouldn't worry about it. May just be a sticky rings from sitting. Needs to run loaded and get everything warm. May reduce smoking or may not. My 003's still smoke blue/white for 3 to 5 minutes or so until everything gets up to temperature. My operational 002 stops smoking...
