Can do the same thing with an inert gas injected to the intake

Just wanted to close the loop, all falls back to the 6 Ps.

A great set of first steps however this only works assuming there isn't a failure in the solenoid or governor assembly (or an alternative fuel source). These are rare edge cases, but its important to know that the solenoid isnt a 100% catch all

By happenstance I had enough extra cash on hand, and just having done a pump recently it was a pretty easy call. It has an ambac pump already and after getting it apart (it was gummed up bad) I was able to rebuild that one. The set also wasn't charging the battery, I found the stator to...

Bit of a story here, when I made it up to Mikes, he introduction to is neighbor, which had a 003 in need of an IP. That one is in my shop and back living now, but since I had other things come up Mikes unit didn't get unloaded, I did service it and make a few repairs. But since it...

Which video? The tan one? Because that was the first start from an IP replacement. Yea. Batteries have gotten stupid expensive.

I have my doubts on water it did happen during a hurricane but the set is on a shed.

There is a commercially available air cutoff valve specifically made for a runaway. Down side is they are stupid expensive

Abc has sodium bicarbonate so big mess. CO2 is clean and starve the oxygen enough to stall. I have used nitrogen as well to accomplish the same thing

The key phrase that set me off was removed load and it ran away. Telling me that the throttle was open more than no load speed. If the governor or linkage was sticky it would seem to surge and runoff

That subject is one that tends to start a huge flame war. Let's just say that you have enough overhead on that set you won't have to worry about maxing her out.

That set has a charging ammeter, unless the battery is low you won't see much out of it

Take this with a grain of salt as I am an electrician, but things that need checked: Sticking throttle linkage\govoner I'd start here as it sounds like as the units loaded it's compensating (as it should) the under load reduction it's not decreasing. When you pulled the emergency stop...

It would be frequently that droops, if needed adjust it as needed. Beware though when the load lightens it will go the other way

I have a 004 that has the zigzag conversion done that had a small control fire, I am strongly considering a full recontrol including the AVR. If you have some ideas to sandbox, I'd be game to try them.

You're very welcome. Glad you were able to get it all setup. Keep in touch

It does not alter the function. It's for operator use

That knob just selects which voltage source the set meter is looking at all you really need to care about is l1-l0 l3-l0 and l1l3 for voltage notice the inner ring there is an l1 l2 l3 please direct the current meter so you should only really care about the l1 and l3 positions

That makes it a utility set push the button in the side of the knob and push it into make gross adjustments down or push the button and pull to make gross adjustments up turning the knob counter clockwise and clockwise make fine adjustments with no load set it to about 61-62 Hertz using a...

Below the control panel into the right is there a throttle control knob? Not the rheostat on the panel
