I would add a consideration or two to quickfarms fine list above. What are you preparing for? If your worst-case outage is expected to be a few days, propane fuel or gasoline (if you have gas stockpiled and it is stabilized). If a longer outage, resupply of propane may well be an issue...

Which brand among the choices mentioned above? Jerry

From WIKI "Storeman says this one is a good fit: Interstate SP22NF batteries (requires 2)" They work well. Jerry:grd:

I've been thinking about investing but cost has put me off. Jerry :-(

You are golden! Congrats again. Jerry:grd:

Welcome to the forum Jason. A great first post! Congrats on your success. I wish I knew enough about the electrical side of the 003a to help you but am sure there are experts who will chime in. Jerry

Jim, Here is his link. NJ_Toolnut Jerry

Jim, NJToolnut makes a fine adapter for the glow plug hole. Check his handle out and drop him a PM, if he is not monitoring this thread. Jerry

Looks like you are going to have to dip into your IP stash Jim. Same results from the other 2 injectors? Jerry :grd:

Capacitor...and it is necessary and will affect your voltage readings. They come in various shapes and appearances. It will affect your voltage readings. Once re-soldered, I think you will have a good unit. Congrats on a lot of work well done and your perseverance. Jerry :popcorn:

Based on the 4 known good stators I have here, your tests are normal. All of mine read 0.6 Ohms. Well done! To prevent wheel flying off, I leave the thick washer on the bolt and back the bolt out 1/4" or so and the washer catches the fan wheel when it finally lets loose. Jerry

Occasionally "Gus", meters from broken low hour units are exchanged with high hour units. In the "field", there is a log book for each generator. The Hobbs means nothing to those in the "field" except time to next oil change/service. If a Hobbs is damaged (most frequent cause of failure)...

Welcome to the troop. Prepare for more "fun". You got lucky. Jerry:popcorn:

My only comment is that you led off with "For example: Some say to NOT purchase one which has rusted screws on the HOBBS (hour) meter. Atypical, I find mine to be rusted but all other gauges and stampings to be complete and intact." You got that exactly backwards. People were suggesting...

All associated bolts and nuts you see are only attached to the fan wheel. I am positive. Perhaps the bind is against the shaft key and the fan wheel was perhaps scored against it in previous attempts. That this is why perhaps you need to go to heavier bolts. I never measured torque on the...

BTW: Use hardened bolts. My SS ones would bend like butter. Jerry

The Napa puller is a rectangular bar about 5-6" long and about 3/4" x 1". Real simple and strong. No provision for a third pulling point, like the one you are using. Jerry

1800, You want to keep the unit as original as possible. Let me suggest a different approach, if you have a tap set. I noted in your pictures of trying to pull the fan that you have a puller identical to the one I used to use on the fan. NAPA sells a straight bar heavy unit for about $25...

Good move on the alternative charger. Jerry

If you have not tested the output from the stator, you wasted a lot of effort trying to get to it. If you have acceptable output, your problem is likely the DC VR, assuming the attached resistor below the DC VR is good (probably not the correct description, But I couldn't locate it in the TM)...
