From what I am reading, the gauge is just pegged high 24x7, no matter the S1 state. Other have asked, and its a crucial detail you need to provide us remote diagnosers.... HOW is the unit shutting down after 15 minutes? Does it slow to a stop? Does it chug and die? What color is the exhaust? Is...
So are you getting any fault lights when it shuts down? When you press the fault reset button... do all illuminate? You could have a faulty fault panel, and your machine is shutting down for coolant overtemp or something that isn't being shown.
Have you reset the fault lights each time you have tried to start? Machine will not fire if you don't do that. The NO FUEL condition is caused by only two items, and both are at the rear of the machine, behind the panel hiding the fuel tank.
Try this... turn the machine to PRIME and clear the...
Normally when the engines go through the reman process, L-P (or if it were done by a civilian contractor) would affix a tag to the engine showing the bore change. At least, I've seen it... but like many resets, while they are all supposed to be done to a standard, thats not often the case.
The system which powers the aux fuel pump has a low level turn on, and high level shutoff. 1/2 a tank won't activate either. If you get below a quarter tank, you will hear it kick on at some point, in the PRIME + AUX setting. I don't recall the exact level (it can actually be manipulated, by...
Radiators are becoming pluck and chuck, like the rest of the world... easier to justify when less folks are willing to get into trades and learn hard skills.
To be honest with the way the world is headed, I am not just concerned with parts availability, but the larger geopolitical concerns of having to run machines like this for an extended duration, under significant societal stress events. Won't go too off the rails here, but I'm pretty sure folks...
I am sure dimensionally one could be found, but then it would come down to the fill neck being workable (the stock location and angle sucks, but its what works for the configuration), the upper and lower hose locations being the same, and the mounting (which is special on this, to work with the...
A few folks have reached out to me over the last six months, looking for replacement radiators for their gensets. These items are very rare at the surplus/auction site level that I have seen and experienced, but are pretty important to these machines long term upkeep (and use when needed)...
From older DRS documentation, they were tested against both "MIL-STD-461 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) limits as well as MIL-STD-2169 High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HAEMP) requirements".
This might be a slightly newer variant (C or D, compared to perhaps the original... which is not...
