How does the motor sound when cranking? does it spin abnormally easy and smooth ( lack of compression pulses? ) The black goo leaking from the muffler joint indicates a fair amount of wet stacking has happened. I've seen several 803's where the carbon buildup was causing the exhaust valve to not...

I'm not familiar with the original CARC paint, but I do have 40 years of experience painting both daily driver and show cars as well as heavy equipment and everything in between. I would never use anything that is a single component ( No hardener ) nor would I use any type of house paint etc...

Hello, I am a volunteer at the New England wireless and steam museum in East Greenwich RI. We have an excess amount of military radio equipment ( much from the WWII era ) in storage and we are looking to donate some of the excess / duplicate equipment to an enthusiast, club or another museum, to...

Also, I don't recall on the 002 /003 without looking but on the 802/803 if you look at the data plate, the ratings are at 4000' and 95F not sea level. So an 803 data plate shows 10Kw at 4000' and 95F and 8.6Kw at 8000' I'd imagine the 002 already has a similar operating condition already...

For me, I consider light loads to be around 25-30% or less. "Extended periods of time" to me means a week+ of constant running at light load. Don't think a few hours here and there will cause any damage and if you start to wet stack the machine a little, those periods of heavier load should...

Have you checked / serviced the coolant system ever? With the gage you have it will normally read a little high as L.I.T.D said, but 220 is a bit more than that gage should be reading. If you are running it at a light load you may be fine now, but could run into issues if you have to run a long...

:unsure:

If the injector line was loose enough to juggle around, it was definitely disconnected. I have seen cases where you loosen the nut but the line is stuck to the injector and still sealing off the fuel , but that is not the case for you. If the line itself is not physically clogged there must be...

Go to the top of this forum, 2nd post down, It's got lots of good info about the metering pumps, tips to install and how to tell if you have a frozen metering pump. Hopefully your problem is as simple as a sticking pump lever, but obviously someone has already had the timing cover off, so you...

@Guyfang any thoughts on moving this post to the Generator forum? I suspect all the other generator Guru's haven't seen it... I just happened to stumble across it myself.

Excellent News, glad you were able to dig deep and get to the bottom of this thing. On the IR thermometer I usually try to hit the exhaust manifold as well as the side of the cylinder itself, but you need to be very cautious of the tricks that the blower wheel air motion can play on you! Try to...

WHAT IDIOT DID THAT! Everyone knows you need to wrap the wire clockwise around the screw!! ;-)

Correct, connect them all together.

You can use any kind of thread sealer. I tend to use Permatex #2 non-hardening. But anything will do, even the blue gasket maker you used or Teflon tape will be fine. And... don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you that thread sealer will isolate the sensor from getting a good ground through...

Neither you nor your generator will ever see a difference between a 35 and 40A alternator..... just verify the wiring connections are in the same location.... looks correct at first glance, but be sure to verify.

That sounds like both injectors are firing at least. Did you test it without any load on it? It is still possible that the injectors are dirty or otherwise not spraying correctly, but at least they are not frozen closed. There could also still be an injector timing issue, but that would be very...

I suppose so! That means you are legally obligated to go out and buy more.... just to be safe!

On the o-ring gasket, there are 2 of them, however in your picture the 2nd one is still inside the block. That tube is a short stub with o-rings on both ends. on the thermal switch wires, polarity does not matter, it's just a switch, not a sensor.

Now I'd try a continuity test from VR 5 and 6 to F+ and F- on the exciter board ( item #10 ) as Kurt indicates in his chart above. If you find an open circuit on either wire, work backwards testing closer and closer to the VR until you find the disconnect point.

That strip is of little importance. You can go to Home Depot and get a roll of sticky back foam rubber tape and use that instead. They typically have a selection of sizes and thicknesses in with the door sweep and replacement gaskets, most in plastic bags made by Frost King
