Good point. On this machine it will never start if there are any faults in place. When you turn the start switch to PRIME, its a good habit to press the fault reset button, and confirm all bulbs illuminate, before cranking. And yes, you must hold the start switch until you build ~25PSI on the...

Price reduced to $50/ea. Available

Only 10 pair remain. Manufacturer will no longer produce, so these are the last 10 available as far as I know. Don't miss out.

I am going to update the listing, but only 10pr remain. I might have (2) singular lower hoses available after pairing (I must have stolen the upper for repairs).

1.) You are the only mechanic... no dealer network to fall back on. Its different in almost every way, past the fact that it produces 5KW. But that's not a bad thing. 2.) Yes. Top of the forum is a 'sticky' thread with off the shelf filter crosses and such. Some parts are easy to find, some are...

I asked about clamps, because you are also lacking clamps at the TOP of the lines, off the hard fuel distribution line. Put some hose clamps up top too :)

I've got a handful of parts engines here if you need bolts, FYI.

If the stock lister clamps are missing, you can use small hose clamps. To tighten properly, you may need to loosen the cast iron hold down on each pump, after replacing the line sections, so the worm gear body doesn't interfere. Identical design on 802 and 803... Something should be there. I...

Look and see if there are little band clamps on the end of the rubber lines, at the metering pump. Based on what I see, my first guess is either dry rotted lines at the very end, or missing clamps. Much more likely to be a line issue than a pump issue.

I've seen all the bolts shear before, but more commonly the drive plate is what gives up the ghost. You might want to have it magnafluxed to confirm no hairline cracks before reassembly.

Just don't give it the filling test :oops: https://www.facebook.com/reel/539005415552348

Thanks for the input all. Sorry for the delay in response, the house has been sick for 2+ weeks now (myself included... what a nasty bug). So I will be shooting for a drop in replacement. I will be discussing alternate coatings, or thickening of components, for better durability. The current...

Hi All. I just wanted to let the forum know that I had reached back out to get current availability on these from the OEM, and I have been informed that they will no longer produce them. So unless I am able to find a custom shop to tool these up, whats left in stock is whats left... :confused:

Should be a max of 3% of rated frequency, which would work out to 1.8hz. You are well within spec.

Take the roof off above the operator cube, then take the panel off to the side of the fuel seperator. Get a chain wrench high up, damn near where it seats on the base, and give it hell. Only surefire way I do it... the rest is a lesson in time wasting and anger. Appropriately oil the new sealing...

I am sure @Guyfang will get it over to the Parts Wanted forum for you.

The more you learn about the machine, the more one comes to appreciate what it is (and what it isn't). Might not be the world's most advanced engine design... but there's something to be said for that!

Or to extend the life of that particular genset. Its got the worst MTBF figure of any of the smaller sets. So if it can store the unused energy for later release, its effectively making a longer lasting product.
