Yes you want to let it sit for 45 minutes so the lifters will bleed down. I made the mistake one time of not doing it and then found 2 lifters loose after start up.

Sounds like a wire is not connected correctly. Double check the wiring on S8, S6 and the main contactor that sends the load to the lugs. I had a unit that was rebuilt similar to your unit and would trip the overload the same way. Turned out to be a wire hooked incorrectly to S8.

From my experience, its when they put in a new motor. New motor, not refurbished.

Usually you will get 1-3 drops in hertz. If it drops more, then you need to adjust the governor.

Same size home and set-up but my central heat is gas. I use an 802a. I buy and sell these as a hobby so I've tried every set-up you can imagine (002a, 003a, 802a, 803a and even a 004a). Remember, your largest draws are water heater, clothes dryer, oven, and central unit so don't expect to use...

Yeah sounds like injectors are the problem because your having to manually increasing the fuel.

More than likely the injectors need to be calibrated or cleaned. Storeman who is a member use to do all mine. Try to adjust the governor but more than likely it won't help because your not getting the correct fuel. I've worked on 100's of these and anytime they wouldn't hold load was because of...

Poor trailer, what about poor truck! LOL!!! I don't think I would try that with my 3/4 ton duramax (that has air bags).

After you get the pumps installed, turn them as far CCW as possible, then tighten the hold down nut. Then use a IR thermometer on the head, right before it connects to the manifold to take temperature readings. If there is a large temperature difference between cylinders, you can rotate the...

Sounds like everyone is telling you how to wire the auto start board correctly. Since you know how to hook up the ASCO's ATS, then you just run your command wire from the ATS to terminal 3 on the auto start board. Then you just make a decision on Relay K

No you do not need the plugs. The relay K you're referring to is optional. What it does, is when the generator is sent the command to shut down, it disconnects the load for the generator and gives the generator time to cool down before it shuts off. Without it, the generator will shut down with...

You need to go to the website you attached and download the installation manuals. If you click on your link and then look to the left it says manuals, look for your model and then add to cart. It downloads free. I think you need to put a little leg work into your question because everyone is...

LOL! Those were the days. I remember getting less than 500 hour units for $600 with fees. Now you can't get anything under $1,000, even if it looks like it's been rolled off the back of a truck.

Something arched inside the gauge so you will need a new gauge. The vibration could be the rotor. I think, I've read that you could pull the rotor and turn it 180 degrees to help with vibration problems. But that could have been on something else I was working on.

Unfortunately if the alternator goes, it will slowly drain the batteries. Your fuel pump, fuel cutoff solenoid, and K1 all use DC voltage. Yes, if you have a 24volt charger your fine but 90% of people do not have them.

There are 2 adjustment pods on the voltage regulator, you adjust them with a very small flat head screw driver. Try to turn both of those clockwise and counter clockwise several times to clean the connection. Make sure you put them back to where they were. One pod is for the fine tuning of the...

Routine maintenance items, fluids, belts, filters. Then the 2 failures I see the most, are the water pump and alternator. I have several people that put several thousand hours on these gensets and those 2 are the largest failures that will bring you to a stop.

Someone had that on Ebay too!! Look around and you'll find good prices. I.E. I've got a 345 hour unit for sale on CL for $3900 right now. I try to make $500 on each unit so I don't try to make big hits on one unit like some people do. I'm like Wal-Mart, sell a bunch at a lower profit. LOL!

Awesome job!

There is an o-ring between the block and the backing plate but I've never had to replace it. I usually just grease it up and put it back together. The gasket set I attached above is actually a good set. I've even used the head gaskets on one set and it now has over 1000hours on it.
