You can still use a pair of cheap $20 garden tractor batteries wired in series until you can find the right ones that fit. Ike

The problem is getting them to fit inside the ASK housing. You might be able to find a pair of tall narrow motorcycle batteries that would fit, however they tend to have a bolt down connector so you would have to modify your battery cables, and of course add a jumper wire to wire the two...

One more word of warning if you do buy through ebay, etc. these batteries are very heavy for their size so shipping charges may be considerable. As I recall the 4HN weighed considerably more than the 2 lawn mower 12V batteries I used for initial testing combined. Think the weight of a typical...

Battery is a 24V 4HN (be aware there is also a 12V 4HN) they sometimes show up on ebay as new old stock dry, just add acid (this is how I bought mine, paid $5 or so to have the local battery shop add acid) I think I paid around $50 or so plus shipping a couple of years ago. Of course as it...

Trying to protect a generator with a thermal magnetic output breaker is next to impossible the thermal side will have to sized too small, and the magnetic will trip too fast for momentary starting loads assuming the generator can even sustain the magnetic trip current. A better approach seems...

Just tell me you had him check to see if it ran before driving all that way to pick it up. Ike

Do let us know what it turns out to be so it may save the next person some trouble Ike

I wanted to second the bit about vibration isolators, but I also see your in Florida, it seems over the last few years that your state has been getting very strick on generator installation, where they can be located (minimum number of feet from house, no opening windows or doors within X feet...

If you do end up replacing the injection pump, try to get one that will match the timing button on the one you have now, otherwise you will end up spending another $70 for a matching button as they are sized to the individual pump for timing. For some reason a lot of shops will sell these...

One more thing if you do go the magnetic base style temporary lights, I bought a set from Tractor Supply last year and had to end up lengthing the wires between the left and right light as they were only about 4 or 5ft long, which is good for a car in tow, but not much else. Some of these kits...

My understanding of modern digital frequency meters is they detect the zero plane crossing, most of the time I hear about false readings on generators it is on brush style generators making poor connecitons, or 3600 rpm consumer generators with very distrorted wave form. This should not be the...

Some, particularly cheaper, meters don't read frequency very well on generators, due to distorted waveform of the output. Sometimes adding a resistive load while running will help stabilize the readings, try a 100 watt conventional light bulb. If that does not work try using a different meter...

Retail is around $90 or so, I have never taken the guts out of one, but have seen an exploded diagram in a parts manual with individual part numbers for the components so in theory it was designed to be repaired. Behind the retaining clip is a washer and maybe a gasket or O-ring followed by...

Do you have fuel in the line going into the pump? If the pump is worn it may be loosing some of its ability to self prime (I think the dry priming lift on these pumps is rated at somewhere between 12-24 inches). These are fairly low pressure pumps (I think around 5 psi) , and should slow down...

A couple of things here, first the fuel pumps have a removable base with a cleanable strainer inside (replacement strainers are available also) check to make sure it is not clogged up (the end should have a place to turn with a wrench it comes off kind of line a child proof medicine bottle twist...

I am not sure of the NSN either, but they are Facet Purolator Gold Flo 24V fuel pumps with a military specific connector (Packard?) . Welcome to Motor Components, LLC - Gold-Flo the standard Gold Flo is available at most auto parts stores. I know NAPA used to carry them, not sure if they...

You might want to look at the service manual for the civilian version of the same engine, the Onan DJC / DJE This link is dead.

I have a relative that once had a dealership mechanic tell them the reason the battery kept running down on their van was the bulb on the dome light was burned out and letting the elecricity run out. Ike p.s. no one ever did track down the source of that power drain (it would run the battery...

One more point, once you get it back together, make sure to bleed the injector lines of air before trying to start. Ike

This pdf from AMBAC may help http://www.ambac.net/images/IF_No._3136.pdf Ike ps It always amazes me how many rebuild shops just say re-use your old button never even bothering to check what size button people have
