I tested My generator the other day and it started up and ran just fine. Was cutting wood a couple weeks ago, again no problems. Storm comes through and destroys everything and generator batteries are dead! My M-151 is not running so can't jump it with the slave and I couldn't reach it if I...

You are going to have to get into that air box to see what is going on. Either it has crap (nest) in it or your ducting has failed. Either way, if it worked before and it is not now that tells you that there is an issue and you will destroy it if you keep denying it and keep running it. I don't...

Drain your filters and see if any water comes out. If it does that could be a suspect. Also loose fuel hoses on the suction side of the pump pulling air. If it just flat out shuts off with no stumbling that sounds like a safety. Or a loose on/off switch wire.

You say it is closing, how do you know? It sounds like an intermittent problem to me. Bypass it and if it does not shut down again you found your problem. As far as the temp switch are there any critter nests built inside the shrouds? You can bypass that one too be you have no gauge like you do...

Sounds like an oil pressure safety switch to me. Verify you are full of oil and actually have oil pressure and if both of those are good then bypass the safety switch and see if the problem goes away. I had a switch go bad on mine.

Have you checked to see if you are getting fuel TO the pump?

Can you share some of those drugs?

Thanks, I have been saving all of this to my computer even though a lot of it does not pertain to me but at least it will all be in one spot for future reference when the subject comes up again. I am not putting it in any special order at this point since I do not have the skills that some of...

Question here, NDT, Is what you are putting up here in acrobat the same as what Carnac put up in Excel? Or is this in addition to that?

Incoming, report, danger close, repeat danger close.(y)

And your point being?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Nothing else has stopped you so these guys are testing you again.

I am thinking it inhaled something into the intake. That edge of the valve is broke and not burned so something jammed in there. Maybe there is more to the story that your friend is not telling you? On edit I did not notice page two and I now see the failed intake heater. So I think you have...

No e-mail notices, but when I visit the weather thread as I always do I notice that it goes from 55 watched threads to 58, 60, 63.................. Even though I have not been on any other threads and I even unwactched a whole group of them from many years ago.

Why is my watched threads list growing bigger and bigger when I have not been looking at anything other than the one thread I always look at? Even when I am not on I gain several watched threads. I unwatched dozens of them and now I have even more than I had before and I haven't been looking at...

Just busting on you, don't generally think of Georgia and snow together. I am kind of familiar with that area, I through hiked the Appalachian trail both ways back in the 70's. I got to see some pretty cold weather there on the north/south trip since it was very late in the season when I hit...

You got me there, kind of. It gets pretty darn cold here and we have had our fair share of snow up til the last couple years. We don't consider it snowed in until about 18" or more. Well, the older generation anyway. the younger crowd are snowed in with the first few flakes.

Um,................... that's about two inches of snow? Snowed in? Ok, Forgot, you are in Georgia.:LOL: Sorry, but to a northern guy that was just too hard to resist.;)

Firefinder and ESPECIALLY, Carnac, I want to personally thank you for accumulating all of this info and putting it out there for those of us that are too dumb or too lazy to do it ourselves. The amount of work involved in all of that is mind boggling. Thank you again gentlemen.(y)(y)(y)

Or I Robot? Scary thought.

And if it didn't the engine was toast anyway so nothing harmed. Plus, in that scenario it was not the private citizen with limited access to obsolete parts that was working on it. If it was toast the Government just tossed it and put a new on on line.
