So far today, the muffler has ben taken off and examined and there are not blockages that can be found or any foreign materials. The intake manifold was taken off and aside from a bunch of RTV cement, the intake looked good and there was no foreign material observed. Yesterday, I fix the...

I have more videos I will post soon. The injectors are supposed to be new. I will ask about calibration.

The fault circuit tripped killing the DC. The only reason it did not shut down immediately was because of the missing fuel stop/run solenoid.

Well another day another few cents...... Decided to inspect the fuel system today. Took most of it apart to make sure it was clean and not blocked. Replaced the return hoses all the way around. Have about 7 feet of the 3.5mm braided hose left. Saw that there was no rubber washer on top of...

Hope the above helps anyone who want to try this.

Here it is in a bunch of pictures. I'll answer any questions that any has about this. It is a 2 X 10KW (one for each 240VAC leg) and each is broken down into 1 - 5KW element and 2 - 2.5KW elements, one of which is a variable 2.5KW element. So at this point, it is adjustable from only 7.5KW to...

Do they make a desiccant for Florida? I suspect a desiccant would last only hours in this humidity.

Well another day with no genset work. I did however put the finishing touches on my load bank and got stopped dead in my tracks by missing two 6 gauge loop connectors. Yes, 2 maybe 59 cent loop connectors. I can now hit the genset and find out where it dies at......what draw? I am still not...

That is what I thought. I am going to drain out as much of the hydraulic fluid as I can but will not clean the drums of the remainder. I have read and read and read up on diesel fuel and storage and the use of algicides and stabilizers and also the polishing of fuel by continually having it...

I have nothing else that uses diesel fuel. I recognized that fuel storage would be another topic but based on what I have researched, just so long as I do fuel polishing I will be OK. Just did not know about whether to clean the tanks or just make sure they were drained. Plan on using 3 drums...

Well, there was no work today on the set. Rained most of the day so I worked on putting the finishing touches on my load bank. The bank will draw 60 amps per leg in 240VAC single phase. Right now it is enough to put a 10 kw load on it. I will add another leg for 15 kw total. Got my break in...

I need a mod to change the title to MEP803A Bogs Down and Dies at 85% Load

I am not ready to tear into the engine yet.....

There is no measurable pressure or vacuum in the crankcase. It is not using oil. I do however have very minor oil seepage from the shims in 3 of the metering pumps. When I first LOADED it down is was quite smoky and smelled of sulphur and other things I can not identify. Obviously when it's...

It was for a quick read and not meant diagnostically to eliminate any part of the fuel system after the gauge.
