As DieselAddict said, just try holding the start switch much longer. There is a disconnect in the circuit... You cannot hurt the starter (you actually need to hold it a few seconds so the set will begin to produce power after it hits operating rpm). If it then doesn't work, then the...
Start out at 61.5, and load it up. If you end up back around 60 under full load, you are doing OK (provided its running steady with no real variation).
Don't expect for an 802 to hold 60hz at no load, and full load without having to adjust the frequency cable to compensate for the load. Try...
Its a pluck and chuck item for the military. Check all connections at the back, deoxidize where you can, and reinstall and see if it works. I have one if you end up needing to source.
They are identical engines... Lister Petter built them both. DN2M is just the Onan part number for the LPW2. You will find almost no Onan badging anywhere on the engine, except occasionally a sticker. Anything you need for that engine, use LPW2 to find parts. They will be cheaper than the Onan...
I think I used a 1/2-14 straight thread air hose barb on my drain setup (was in stock at napa... doesnt need to be tapered so long as it fully seats) with a length of hydraulic tube and a hose clamp. Small money, for much easier maintenance.
And moving sets is easy if you know the right folks, and either have access to a commercial dock (where you work, a friends business, etc) or you have a pallet jack or tractor with forks, that you can unload freight with right at your home address.
Yeah with standard forks... just take along a 36" piece of a 2x6 or something. Place it against the face of the machine, they put forks under the set the long way. Place in bed as far as they can, then use the block of wood at the front of the machine, and they push it the rest of the way in...
Good work. JLG is a subsidiary of Oshkosh trucks... so I'd be willing to bet its a Faria produced item, but with an Oshkosh # on it. They wouldn't make it different for them. Onan/Cummins is great for attaching their own number on someone elses part.
Yeah the sealed tops are nothing but a PITA. Thankfully Id say less than 5% of all sets that have come through my hands had it in place... they seemed to run just fine without it ;).
