Its my story. I will stick with it!

Today, I am 69. So its all because of my old age!!

I like the low fuel cut off switch. There are times, like when it O-Dark thirty, raining or the air temp is a million degrees below zero, and the darn thing will not prime itself. If it runs dry, or turns off before it runs dry, you still have to refuel it.

I have seen lots of brass floats fail. Long time ago, but still. The foam did alright, until we started to use JP8. Then bad things started to happen.

I never measured at the GPU. Always at the MPU. and its always better to have a willing slave to crank, while you look. Do not adjust while cranking.

I must have been asleep!

OK, Boys and Girls, pay attention here. Below is a picture of the E2 fuel pump. Note that the plug is P13. Go to the -24P. Look at the Figure 12. Output Box/Engine Harness Assembly. Find J13. Item # 42. Part #: 03-09-1022, Item name: CONNECTOR BODY, RECE Put this part number in your handy...

It is against the Forum rules to post more then one thread for the same problem on the same equipment. Ray, please re-post your comment in the other thread. I am going to delete it.

That's what I meant. Valve job. Check the valves. But before I did check, I would do all the rest of the things mentioned. If it runs at all, the problem is not the valves.

After you installed it, did you try and adjust it? After all, you bottom it out on reinstalling, and back it out 1 1/2 turn for a reason. It gives you room to adjust it, to the Correct AC reading, when you are turning over the engine with the S10, (dead crank switch). Get someone to use the S10...

That's why I am asking. Trying to clean up threads. And we wont have to change the title.

Ken, Can I delete this thread now?

Ray wrote: S3 would not be causing your problem. (Correct) As mentioned, the generator SHOULD be producing power whenever the engine is running. That power should always be present at the AC outlet ( assuming it's CB is good ) it will also always be present on the input wires of the contactor...

This was the Down Range solution.

What instructions are you talking about? If the TM, please write a short blurb about what, exactly what, you did.

The TM's are listed in the Gererator TM forum. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/all-the-tms-you-need-to-work-on-mep-016a.154721/ I would wait on the Valve job. The engine is world famous for having Carburetor problems, and, as its not been converted to solid state ignition, (This alone...

I have test the fuse with a multimeter and verified that the fuse is good. "It is suposed to produce voltage as soon as the engine comes up to rated speed." This generator isn't operating that way, and even when it was producing power, it did not operate that way. We have always had to start...

Electric start was an add on. I never saw one, before the late 70's, early 80's. I almost gave myself 1000 heart attacks, pull starting these engines. They ran great, or not at all.

Am I in the will?

Yeah! Looks good!! Heck, on active, I never had one in that good a shape.
