I am talking about the side view pic and the wire coming out of the blower housing of the generator itself.

I gave you the wrong site to check! It is https://www.smokstak.com/forum/threads/onan-12-0djc-18r-would-you-buy-it.179870/ that you would need to check out. https://www.smokstak.com/forum/search/158942/?q=Onan+12.0+DJC&o=relevance

Kind of looks like the military units but a LOT of the stuff the military uses is not there. Also not good to see a wire hanging out of the side of the generator! But if these guys can't help you then check out this site , https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/. They cover a lot of older gensets.

Ray, I know on my 3rd gen Dodge with the infamous Bosch pump on the Cummins I make sure I use additive for the extra lubricant. I also use this in my gensets, and all of my diesels for that matter since they are all old and not designed for new low sulfur fuel. Personally I use the Power Service...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep003a-starter-grinding-on-fly-wheel-than-starts.213801/ Post #11 I think it was. I sent you a link to ALL the TM's

Victor, Have you gone to that link I sent you several threads back and downloaded and READ the manuals on how to operate this generator? All these questions you are asking on on these multiple threads tell me you have no idea how to operate this unit.

You will find everything you need here. The 003 manuals are down a few lines from the top. All of the breakdowns, wiring and repair info for the starter will be in those manuals. I am NOT a generator expert as some of the people that have already answered you are. But I will tell you that if you...

I think the first thing you need to get is a set of manuals!!! If you keep playing around with the wiring and getting it wrong you are going to let the magic smoke out. And once it is out you will never get it back in. Some of that wiring looks pretty sketchy as it is.

Is it just me or does this post also not make sense to others? It does or does not start and it does or does not grind?

Probably to exercise the genset under full load to prevent wet stacking. I would love to have that setup.

Yea, I am going to rob the LOPS out of my other 002 that I keep telling Ray I am going to get working on and then weather of life keeps getting in the way. I will swap the bad on in my good set for that one and put a note on the control panel to that effect.

My LOPS went bad, still have it bypassed and just watch the oil pressure gauge but I really need to get that fixed. But on mine I did notice that the shutters were not opening very far at all. I took it all apart and cleaned everything up and I did find a lot of dirt in there but at least no...

Sounds like you have a partially plugged up oil pressure gauge. The thermal shutdown is most likely caused by the flaps not opening in the shroud, or critter nests in cooling system of the engine. This needs to be checked ASAP since overheating an air cooled engine is certain death for the...

Checking resistors is a royal pain because you are going to be unsoldering and resoldering whether they are bad or not. At least then you know you don't have a bad solder joint at one of the resistors you took out to test and had to put back because it was good.

Be sure to do that work with the machine off

Ray or Guyfang would be your people to talk to. Since Guy is in Germany Ray is the goto guy for help here as far as physical parts and stuff. He has offered to help me with mine but I cannot ever find the time to get into it.

Ray70 on here will probably chime in, he is the 002, 003 expert and he may also do rebuilds.

Ah, So you are quite familiar with Whitworth tools? I might even still have one or two buried in an old box somewhere. I was watching some You Tube show where they were restoring a British armored vehicle of some sort and they actually needed Whitworth tools on some of the parts. Can you imagine...

Oh how I wish I had that bottle when I had my shop and I had to work on MG's and all of the other British vehicles. Not to mention all my BSA and Triumph motorcycles. :LOL:

Starter fluid and glow plugs equals blown head gaskets or worse! I have seen heads blown completely off of pickup trucks doing that, Literally blown off the top of the engine! THAT is a lot of force, and just from the ether being ignited by the glow plugs inside the engine. I never use ether...
