I have never seen any fires due to wet stacking. But have seen 45-60 KW gen sets not be about to pull 15-20% load, without dying in their tracks. We ran a lot more then 3000 hours a year on many sets. And the mess that runs out of the engines is most foul. We several times STARTED a fire...

Oli????????????????????

Was the linkage even hooked up? Or did you try and manipulate it by hand? Because if you tried to start it normaly, with the linkage hooked up, and haven't knob dicked the setting for the linkage, it can not run away.

9-1-1. Got to keep that written on my hand. Might need it. 😇

Did you look? Do I need to upload it?

Good! Very good!

Kurt beat me again! I am too long winded.

You were close. Its in Figure 10, (PDF page #42) but you need to go a page farther, to PDF page # 43. Item numbers 42 & 50. Tip. Anything that has to do with the gen set is in TM's: LO 9-6115-641-12 (Lubrication) TM 9-6115-641-10 (Operators manual) TM 9-6115-641-24 (Maintenance) TM...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! but Mr. Heimlich is not learning how to use the TM's at 02:00 in the morning. Have you down loaded them?
