Strap wrenches are OK, but the vice grip chain style works a lot better for me.

Thanks Speedwoble, you always give good advice. I have no intention of selling my SEE in the foreseeable future, nor do I plan on not fixing it. The problem is I don't really have time to fix it correctly before the move. My plan is to build a house and retire on the property I am moving the...

Pardon the long introduction, I have contracted a driver to haul the SEE to my property in south central Colorado, and of course now I am finding all kinds of issues. I have resolved them all, except the reservoir mounted on the clutch master cylinder has had a slow steady loss of fluid that...

I pulled the old return line off, and built a new one from the Viton hose I bought. I replaced it, cleaned all the diesel from the engine and inside the cover. When I fired it up it I could see no leaks. I think that the problems with the leaks are resolved. In the course of installing the...

I believe I have found the source of the leak. It was hydraulic fluid, but Dot 5 break fluid not AW32. This also explains why the reservoir over the clutch master keeps going down. I was surprised that only the reservoir over the clutch was going down so I thought for sure that leak was...

you need one of what?

While crawling around under my SEE, I discovered a steady stream of what I believe is hydraulic oil running down the rear drive shaft cover. I have been hunting for the source but can't seem to locate it. As fast as the oil is flowing, it should not be that hard to find. It seems to start under...

My search was specifically for Viton 3.5 mm which did not yield good results. I was perhaps a bit to broad in my statement that I had not found such a thing. A better question to have asked is since I have already ordered the 1/8" Viton will I run into any issues in using it, or should I return...

I recently picked up the genset I won from Fort Carson, and did not have any major issue. The biggest problem I had was that the pin that holds the pintel hook in to the tongue of the trailer was about a third of the way out. (See my post here) The mag trailer lights are a good idea, but I will...

I did not know there was such a thing as a "good" leak in this situation. I first noticed that there was a bit of a leak before I actually started it while it was in prime mode. And yes following your recommendation I ordered some Viton tubing to replace what is there and pulled the roof off...

The issue that is troubling me the most at this time is the growing fuel leaks that appear to come from the injector pumps on the first and second cylinders. I made this video which I hope gives enough info to correctly diagnose the issue.

I don't intend to use the remote start except in very rare diagnostic situations. I used it here because: S1 did nothing when I switched it to start position after a period of about 30 second in the prime position The batteries appeared to have a full charge I was leery of the dead crank...

I have CRC, will give that a try. After I started it the first time from S1, I shut it down after about a minute, and then tried it again probably 10 minutes later. When I tried it then, the prime came up fine and after waiting a bit tried to crank it, but nothing happened. After a couple of do...

It is definitely one of the plastic ones either Mark 1 or Mark 2. S1 and especially S6 feel spongy when you are turning them. Edit: I dug a little deeper in the link Daybreak provided to his previous post, and found where Guy in a different post gave enough details to identify it. It looks...

No, sorry if I was unclear. The remote start switch is just a button connected to two alligator clips by two pieces of wire. This is similar to mine I connected one of the alligator clips to S terminal on the solenoid and the other to the B terminal. When you press the button it activates...

You folks were correct, the problem is that one of the batteries was bad. I have 2 good batteries in there now, and the engine starts right up. I think there is a problem with the dead crank switch. After I reinstalled the starter and replaced the batteries I tried the dead crank and it turned...

Thank's Guy, I don't have a load tester. I should probably get one. If jumping it with the FLU419 solves the problem, then likely you are correct and one or both of the batteries are NFG.

I am still scratching my head and going through the manuals for a clue. I will try again this weekend. I think it is possibly the solenoid (see picture below) the contact has a kind of strange wear pattern on it. To counter that, possibility though, operating the solenoid by hand does not seem...

Thanks for the info on the spring forms. They were all back behind all the wires and looked like they would cause a short where they were. I assumed that they were part of some wire management system where they were, but your explanation makes perfect sense. I just don't know how the got to...

I got to spend some quality time with my generator today. I did not make as much progress as I would would have liked. I did get all the fluids in and as best I can tell no leaks around the filters. I found some strange spring type wires behind the control panel does any one know what these...
