Can this be causing any issues, this is a far as the thumb screw will go down. The adjustment screw is preventing it from going any further, it had lock-wire on it when i received it was cut and just hanging off of screw. So I removed it that piece of lock-wire that was just hanging.
The actuator opens up full off of throttle plate under full load i've watched it before and its not making contact when the gen bogs down. Today it seem to be working when there is no load. I planed to set it to TM when smoking was solved, since it hasn't interfered with the throttle plate. Not...

After 14 mins - Bogged down

I reapplied load after a minute and gen set bogged out after a few mins, I repeated this 2 more times.
Shims installed to about 17 degrees with original injection pump, no observable change to operation smoked under 3000 watt load. Replaced with new injection pump readjusted with shims to 17 degrees, still smoking. I replaced injector about 7 hrs set ago. Gen set was operated for a few mins then...
The muffler fire resistant cover was smoking pretty good the other day. This is a long shoot but does the military keep maintenance logs of equipment that has been sold off to auction. Kinda would like to see it history I know it was reset(of some kind) or half way threw it. Never worked in...
Order 4 .1mm timing shims. Also it seems as the engine heats up to operating temperature to smoking gets worst. I'm tempted to order a injector pump as well. Good thing about theses Yanmar engines parts seem to be a fair price.
Just finished playing around with the Injector timing, seems to want to send fuel at the 4th mark which is 20 degrees. The TM says 16 to 18 degrees, between 3 and forth before the TDC position mark. I did this about 4 time and it was at 20 degrees every time.
4-11 Fuel Injection Pump...
I gave it another try when I use a towel to soak up fuel in the compression fitting on the Injection Pump I can see it being filled. I was expecting it to fly out of pump just by hand turning it, when I engage electric starter of flys out about a foot. I had my old injector hand so I hooked it...
Thanks DieselAddict and Guyfang,
Things done today:
1. New Main Fuel water separator replaced wix 33583.
2. Removed air filter, no change in operation. Removed Air Cleaner Assembly heater was clean. Air intake duct had some soot in it.
3. Valve Clearance Adjusted, was off by a bit . Set to TM...
Just finish draining fuel tank until the fuel pump couldn't pick up any more fuel, the pump has a very good rate of flow. I disconnected the fuel line right before the water separator filter, there is a bit of fuel left in the tank probably 1/8 gal in there. I filled the set up to 1/2 tank, I...
Today I ran it at full load for 6 hrs. Unit bogged down after 15 mins and dropped load, it repeated this during the full 6 hrs every 2-8 mins. I gave it a few mins a placed load back on unit. I have confirmed that the actuator is not causing it to bog down. Can this be caused by old bad fuel...
