I still think you have a dirty connection causing the problem but you can also de-solder the burden resistors and check them with and ohm meter. They are part of the control circuitry but I've never had any go bad to show O/L. I've had a couple go bad that would set off the short circuit...

If the batteries continue to drain after short periods of time, i.e. 30 days or less. The 1st thing I would look at is the alternator. The alternator has a ground and a direct connection to the batteries and there are rectifiers that can break and short. I've had a couple of units that would...

If that doesn't work, take the injector lines off both pumps and try cranking, to see if you have fuel spraying out. If no fuel is present, the plungers are stuck and you will have to take the top off the pumps and spray them with cleaner to dislodge them.

There is a connection board located under the old rat nest, make sure all those connections are tight and not corroded. Rat urine will cause serious corrosion. I had an 802a that had 1 loose connection on that board, that caused a O/L and almost melted the connector. Also spray the AM/VM switch...

I'm sorry but do not have a specific answer to your problem but the wire coding in the 002a and 003a are slightly different from my experience. So you could have a 003a distribution box that someone retrofitted to the 002a so check out the TM for the 003a and see if it gives you your answer.

Guyfang may be thinking of the 002a which you separate the rotor from the flywheel like he is explaining. But on the 802a, the plate and rotor have to be removed, to gain access to the flywheel bolts. I'm also interested in knowing the reason why yours wont separate, so keep us posted.

I'm glad they updated the reliance power restore box. When I bought mine 5yrs ago, you had a 90 degree bracket that it was mounted on. Stupid design. I like the updated magnetic!

Chrispyny may still have some left.

The button usually has to be changed when a new pump is installed. There is a install manual for flow correction in the manuals. Google MEP-002a injector pump flow rate. GMG has the install manual for a new button.

It shouldn't take more than 1 minute of starting. Are you using the master switch on the front, for the attempts to start it. You said that you're getting fuel to the rubber hoses before the pumps, correct? If so, it goes directly into the pump and should start coming out.

Did you try to crank the motor over to see if fuel comes out? For the stuck pump, I had to take the top of the pump apart to see the plunger. Then I stuck a strong magnetic inside on the plunger and rotated it clockwise so I could get the pump out. I've also had to use a small pick to turn the...

Ok. If it's 2nd from the bottom its a 1N5406 diode. 2nd and 3rd from the bottom are the same. Bottom is a resistor part # V68MA3B crosses to a F2286-ND.

Remind me which one is CR1. I'm not around my units to see. Is it the very bottom diode on the Burden Resistor bracket?

Are you 100% positive your batteries are good. A battery can read 12volts but soon as a small load (i.e. fuel pump) comes on, it drops to nothing. I've had this happen to me and I took days trying to trace down a short only to find out 1 battery had bad cells. Please check the batteries.

I believe it's his home made load bank. He did a write up during the build, it was on his thread when he bought the genset. Really impressive build, in my opinion.

I agree, you stole that CVT1. They are getting harder to find and the last one I purchased as a backup was $150 used.

Just take some extra wire you have laying around, hook it to your battery on the generator, the negative can be put anywhere on the pump. No need to make it complicated.

The strainer (first canister after the pumps) is only held on with the 1/2 nut on the bottom. The other 2 filters are held by a 5/8 nut on top of the canisters, look on top of the frame where they are mounted.

Make sure your batteries are hooked up correctly and they are truly good. If the batteries are 10volts or under, nothing will work. You said you used the dead crank and it tried to start, that tells me the batteries are the problem. Also make sure your dead crank is set to normal because if it...

Did you test K15 exciter relay? Also make sure you use -24 manual, it will be more effective than the others. 2-33-2. Testing. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. Shut down generator set. Release control panel by turning two fasteners and lower control panel slowly. Remove applicable relay, paragraph...
