    Need help 003a in previously perfect condition stopped producing power.

    ok from my understanding when connecting a gen to a house, the house/panel is already grounded so you do not install a grounding rod or anything like that on the gen side because you would then have a double ground. the gen should pickup the ground through L0, the 4th wire through your plug to...

    Need help 003a in previously perfect condition stopped producing power.

    i wouldnt doubt for a minute that there was a poor ground somewhere and the arc finally did it in completely. continuity through all the cases, components and framework on these generators are very important. usually all the nuts and star washers are so rusty and corroded on every one i have...

    Need help 003a in previously perfect condition stopped producing power.

    hmmm, i highly doubt a little arc is going to fry the gen end. its something else. other than the simple things like breakers, etc its hard for me to give advice on the electrical side of things without it in front of me. maybe some of the other guys will chime in happy birthday!

    10 KW generator question

    i have powered my house and shop quite a few times with my 002 and 003 and i can tell you if anyone's house is a test of the electronics compatibility of these generators its mine. i have so many electronics in the house running its not funny. 4 computers, vinyl cutter, 3d printer(thanks jim), 3...

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    the droop adjustment is the star adjuster on the governor arm, where the spring hooks to. if you turn the star adjuster so the spring is lowered on the arm you will get less droop under load. its kinda the opposite of what you would think. if you read the manual its a bit vague in how its worded...

    using home heating oil in military diesel gensets

    Haha of course. He had me out there for moral support the very next morning. Me must have run it 10 times that day just to hear it go! He is getting it set up in his shop now with the exhaust plumbed through the wall. Nice running unit for sure.

    using home heating oil in military diesel gensets

    i have been running my kubota off hho for 5-6 years now and the generators as well. no issues and the kubota is new and requires ultra low sulpher. whole reason i went with a diesel gen is because i always have plenty of fuel around. i dont want to be hunting down gasoline in the middle of a storm.

    yeah just use a 1/8" drill bit in the hole. you really dont have to flow time the pump. the pump came off your own gen that you know was running good. the timing itself cant change.
