The SX460 can pick up a gen with something like 4V to start so the field flash may not be necessary unless the gen sits for a very long time or somehow loses its residual magnetism. OTOH, a field flash circuit should not be hard to add and would make it even more reliable.

Here's another wiring pic. It shows a fuse, which is a good idea, on the AC input, terminal 8. A 5 amp fuse should do nicely. Also, it shows a pot/rheostat on terms 1-2. If you don't use the pot/rheostat just put a jumper across 1-2 or it won't work. I think the pot/rheostat in the gen panel...

Disclaimer: These are my opinions and I am not a licensed electrician. Please proceed at your own risk. Want 2nd opinion here. If I wanted to run a SX460 voltage regulator on an MEP-003A I think I could set the jumper on the SX460 to 120V and connect it to 3 and 6 from the gen head. From...

Sounds like an old little Homelite.

Probably not the problem here but is there a vent open/close on the fuel tank cap? If so, it is set to open?

The 15min wait might indicate flooding. Check summer/winter air flow and then maybe pumps that feed the injector pump.

What is your definition of hydrolocked?

Schematic shows: CB2 (pull to shutdown, push to reset breaker), it looks like "CR2", but the symbol is a breaker not a diode. K1 Start Relay K3 Crank Relay K5 Gov Sol (this should be the lockout that keeps the starter from being engaged when the engine is running) in the circuit.

I agree with PeterD. Judging from the condition of the business end of the injector you would have trouble making that engine run. At least you had the opportunity to get a refund. Had it been a GL purchase you would have bought it for good.

Check the little "pull to shut down" circuit breaker? You have to push it back in to reset it. Make sure the click you hear is from the starter solenoid. If it is and the starter doesn't spin, then you have a bad connection or wiring issue or bad battery. Could the click you are hearing...

Low fuel switch? These gen sets have a switch in the tank to keep them from running out of fuel. Edit: the 016B types have a low fuel shutdown but I'm not sure if the 002s and 003s have them.

I have commercial Yanmar manuals for the L series motors. I have not seen the GI manuals for those motors. I think I have the TM for the "E" conversion kit, though. For the 016A, gen head, chassis, etc: TM 5-6115-271-14 For Yanmar engine, try here: DAW Manual Downloads My MEP-016D has a...

I'm at 100% on getting MEP-701As to run, 6 for 6. One had a broken part, I found a replacement part on ebay for $40. One had a bad control cable (I had a spare). One I had to repair the fuel pump (not the injector pump) but it just needed to be disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled, no parts...

Can you accumulate enough liquid fuel by wetstacking to cause a hydrolock? Even if you did, you should be able to turn the engine backward or it would kick back if you tried to start it.

If the enclosure is waterproof sheetrock is good and cheap. Also, an air passage is a sound passage. Mounting the unit on rubber or other flexible mounts may help with noise transmission to the frame of the truck.

You can do the bushing thing or you can just drill 5/8" holes next to the frame tubes in the Aluminum rails. I had a Chinese knockoff gen that had four wheels like those and it was easy to move on grass and stuff. The white wire ties were left over from a project. I probably have some black...

Well, not really. But, a Harbor Freight poly dolly, #93525 makes a good platform for rolling a 016A, C, or D around. They're on sale for $18 now. I used four nylon ties to secure it to the base. The HF dollies don't roll as well as the better, more expensive dollies, but for $20 they are...

That sounds right. I'm not near mine at the moment. I just wanted to elaborate on your idea of a lever for people who could drill a hole, but don't have welding apparatus.

Can you just thread in some bolts into the holes for the three not six bolt holes and use a lever between two of them? If you take the fan cover off (with the injectors out) can you turn the motor over by hand using the fan?

Starter, charging system, glow plugs, electric pumps, shutdown solenoid, etc. (if applicable) are all 24V. It would probably not be cost effective to change all that for 12V operation. OTOH, it can be done. I'm pretty sure Onan made a civilian version of the 003 in 12V. I just buy two batteries.
