The biggest problem with these Ambac pumps it those damn expensive timing buttons!!! That they apparently have not made for 50 years. And according to the manual there is a shim between the pump and the block that HAS to stay with the engine. Those are also unobtanium. And also no way of knowing...

Check your ground connections at the frame and make sure they are clean and tight. They may have arced from the short and that will cause a bad connection. You say you have never looked a a military generator before, are you familiar with the series connection of the batteries to get 24 volts?

If you walk in front of the exhaust of a running 002 or an 003 you will notice that the exhaust itself is not very loud. The engine itself is very loud since it is a diesel and it has no water jacket to muffle the compression ignition. Blowing the exhaust out the bottom will make it very...

I am talking about the side view pic and the wire coming out of the blower housing of the generator itself.

I gave you the wrong site to check! It is https://www.smokstak.com/forum/threads/onan-12-0djc-18r-would-you-buy-it.179870/ that you would need to check out. https://www.smokstak.com/forum/search/158942/?q=Onan+12.0+DJC&o=relevance

Kind of looks like the military units but a LOT of the stuff the military uses is not there. Also not good to see a wire hanging out of the side of the generator! But if these guys can't help you then check out this site , https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/. They cover a lot of older gensets.

Ray, I know on my 3rd gen Dodge with the infamous Bosch pump on the Cummins I make sure I use additive for the extra lubricant. I also use this in my gensets, and all of my diesels for that matter since they are all old and not designed for new low sulfur fuel. Personally I use the Power Service...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep003a-starter-grinding-on-fly-wheel-than-starts.213801/ Post #11 I think it was. I sent you a link to ALL the TM's

Victor, Have you gone to that link I sent you several threads back and downloaded and READ the manuals on how to operate this generator? All these questions you are asking on on these multiple threads tell me you have no idea how to operate this unit.

You will find everything you need here. The 003 manuals are down a few lines from the top. All of the breakdowns, wiring and repair info for the starter will be in those manuals. I am NOT a generator expert as some of the people that have already answered you are. But I will tell you that if you...

I think the first thing you need to get is a set of manuals!!! If you keep playing around with the wiring and getting it wrong you are going to let the magic smoke out. And once it is out you will never get it back in. Some of that wiring looks pretty sketchy as it is.

Is it just me or does this post also not make sense to others? It does or does not start and it does or does not grind?

Probably to exercise the genset under full load to prevent wet stacking. I would love to have that setup.

Yea, I am going to rob the LOPS out of my other 002 that I keep telling Ray I am going to get working on and then weather of life keeps getting in the way. I will swap the bad on in my good set for that one and put a note on the control panel to that effect.

My LOPS went bad, still have it bypassed and just watch the oil pressure gauge but I really need to get that fixed. But on mine I did notice that the shutters were not opening very far at all. I took it all apart and cleaned everything up and I did find a lot of dirt in there but at least no...

Sounds like you have a partially plugged up oil pressure gauge. The thermal shutdown is most likely caused by the flaps not opening in the shroud, or critter nests in cooling system of the engine. This needs to be checked ASAP since overheating an air cooled engine is certain death for the...

Checking resistors is a royal pain because you are going to be unsoldering and resoldering whether they are bad or not. At least then you know you don't have a bad solder joint at one of the resistors you took out to test and had to put back because it was good.

Be sure to do that work with the machine off

Ray or Guyfang would be your people to talk to. Since Guy is in Germany Ray is the goto guy for help here as far as physical parts and stuff. He has offered to help me with mine but I cannot ever find the time to get into it.

Ray70 on here will probably chime in, he is the 002, 003 expert and he may also do rebuilds.
