There is no measurable vacuum or pressure in the crankcase.

Between the fuel pump and the fuel filter. I tapped into the fittings just after the electric fuel pump

Yes. The genset runs in battle short but I have not tried to go to that length just yet.......

No it does not. Tho independent systems. The solenoid for the fuel lever stop/run is what is used to shut down the engine by closing the fuel flow metering valve in the metering pump. It overrides the governor. But once the engine is running, the governor takes full control and the solenoid...

I can find no restrictions in the exhaust system.

The LOP safety only kicks in after the deman can not be met by the engine trying to fill the demand placed on it by the generator. The builder took the engine apart after the rebuild because they though the cam timing was off. If you go to the other thread of me picking up my genset, there are...

I was being a smart a$$. But the end result is the same. A demand is suddenly placed on the generator (happens when you connect anything to it) and the genset ups the output to match the new load. But if you place a 5 kw load on a 3 kw genset, it will try to fill the demand before the...

Yes that is a good recap. The RPM drop off seems to be connected to any increase in load beyond that. I am aware that I am missing the fuel cutoff/run solenoid. It is not necessary to run the engine and has no bearing on the amount of fuel metered as that is supposedly handled by the...

I do not think that the oil specs has anything to do with this. Using a 30W vs 40W is not that big of an issue. I am using 15W-30 break in oil because that is what you are supposed to use the first 1`00 hours then change to a 15W-40 depending on climate. This is almost as if the generator...

Oil pressure is fine until engine bogs down so far that the oil pressure drops enough to trigger the fault.

Yeah....senility.... Check the videos. I am using a good clamp meter to measure amperage....

It has 10W30 break in oil

OK her it is in a nutshell. The shutdown happens instateneous as soon as you reach aroud 40 amps per leg or at about 81% or 82% load. Black smoke, engine bogs down, fuel flow is still up at 6.5PSI engine RPM decreases rapidly, power output drops to 140VAC HZ is down below the scale end, engine...

Other stuff I have been doing as well... The IP67 Connector to the generator had to be offset by about 1 inch due to the hinge bracket at the top not letting it seat fully into the recess. It fits nice except you could not open the cover far enough to plug in the cable. So I got a HD 4X4X2...

I have to rethink my calculations. Getting senile in my old age. V=IR
