It's not the injector causing the problem but if you keep up with which cylinder the injectors came out of, we may be able to find which pump is the problem. Looking at the 2nd picture, where you took it from the tips. The 2nd injector from the left, looks dryer than the others, I don't see any...
It would really help if you let us know if the fuel cut off solenoid is engaged or not. As stated earlier, when starting the unit it bypasses the oil pressure switch and temperature switch. When you release the start switch, if the switches are not reading correctly or not functioning the unit...
The best way is to take the pump off and clean it. The only bad thing about the 002/003 IP's is they have a plunger guide, which is a thin piece of metal and when the plunger gets stuck, it binds, breaking the guide. Then you have to take the pump apart to get the guide out and replaced.
Nope, that would not cause your problem. Lets say you let the pumps rotate a little, all that is going to do is increase or decrease the amount of fuel it sends to the injectors (a tad). This is how we adjust the injector pumps to become perfectly in time with one another. What you do is take a...
Now if an injector is bad, you won't be able to tell without pulling them out. With that much diesel in the crankcase, if the injector is the culprit, usually the tip of the injector will be extremely clean (like it has been washed). A normal injector tip will be black with carbon on it. Now...
You need to make sure the fuel cut off solenoid is not engaged before thinking it's bad fuel. I've had units with oil pressure's switches that failed making the generator shut down in the same manner.
I had some free time today and figured I would make sure that was the only problem with the short circuit fault. LOL! Now, when I get the board in, I've got to repair the unit I took the resistor from. Thanks so much for the help!
To give everyone an update. I took R11 out of a good unit and now the generator is producing power as it should.
So if anyone has a short circuit fault, more than likely it will be a burden resistor and you do in fact have to de-solder the resistor's to test them correctly (although the TM does...
So after many calls and searching, I finally found the direct replacement http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?r=71%2dFSOT2011E7R500JE. Vishay changed the manufacture number, the only difference is the new resistor has a 5% tolerance instead of a 1% tolerance. But these should fit...
I saw those in Atlanta, the hours ranged from 5,000-8,000 hours. Hopefully you got a good runner and will have many more hours out of the unit. I hate the extensions also!
Yes, the generators can be loaded from the end so you can load into the back of a pickup.
I've never seen it in the TM and have not heard of it happening in the 802 or 803. The only advice I could give is to pull each injector pump one at a time and test it but you'll need a fuel pump to apply pressure to the pump to see if it's leaking. You could, take the outlet hard line off your...
Here's a pic of the resistors, they are a little different. The HLM-20 have been discontinued and replaced with FSOT-20. They are 7.5ohm 20watt with 1% tolerance. The only thing I can find is 5 or 10ohm 20watt with 10% tolerance.
You know it's either going to be the injector pumps or injectors. My money would be on a bad injector that is flooding the combustion chamber. Did you notice it running poorly before it shut down?
Thank you so much Guyfang, I'll try that and report back. I've been trying to find a source for the burden resistor but I can't find an exact matches for the part number. I've found some with higher ohm readings but nothing like OEM. Apparently the HLM-20-10Z7R50J resistor was discontinued this...
Having a short circuit fault on a recently acquired 803a. When I first got it started the short circuit fault light was on, so I hit the reset and everything seemed fine. I hit the AC interrupter closed, with nothing attached to the lugs and everything was running perfect (power to lugs). I...
Ok guys, started working on several MEP-701a's with the Onan 1 cylinder. I have a couple up and going but I've got one with an interesting problem. I finally got it to run with the fuel lever in the off position. When the shut off solenoid is activated, it pulls back and the fuel lever pulls...
If your running 120 independently and not wanting 240volt, you need to have the reconnection switch (located under the access door next to the main breaker) turned to the 12oclock position, which is 120 single phase. Then connect your Hot to L3, common to L0 and ground to the ground stud which...
