YES! I once had an 003 with the new style gear reduction starter and a bad S6. Guess what happens when you spin a gear reduction at 1800 flywheel RPM? I have pictures of what happens.... the starter guts turn into scrap metal.

You're not just talking installing a propane tank, you're suggesting he invest in a completely new propane fired heating system. Not sure how that would be cheaper overall... There are about a dozen other factors you need to consider, not just the difference in fuel consumption between and 802...

I think you have a problem with the bendix drive on that starter. FYI, bench testing may not show the problem if there is no resistance applied to the starter drive. In all honesty it is probably going to be cheaper and faster to just buy a new one for about $120 than to have yours fixed, but...

I got the Single phase conversion was done last night! A little load testing and she will be ready for action! (y)

I 2nd or 3rd.?? the leaking valve theory. Probably hanging up on carbon deposits if you have been running under light loads. Typically the motor will seem to crank more steadily and smoother instead of the pulsating you hear with good compression. I have purchased several 803's that would not...

So where did you put the ATF in the top line fitting or did you take the top off and put it inside? If you haven't already done so, you can take the top part off and get the ATF right in. I think this is how the one I worked on originally got messed up. It was stuck but the owner got it freed...

Occasionally they come up on ebay, but none right now. Maybe you could find someone with a 400hz 813 willing to either sell it or part it out for a reasonable price??

No, you can't do that. Everything goes in from the bottom, not the top. Believe me it's very simple... take it out and it's a breeze, might just need a magnifying glass to see the alignment marks on the parts.

Oh yea... not a good thing to mis-match the syncronization! The lesser of the sources will instantaneously " correct itself" violently and in this case catastrophically! I was actually expecting a much louder bang when the relay closed, but still amazing to see the gen jump up in the air.

I have seen issues with these pumps. I recently worked on a 701 that would decrease the fuel flow when you want to increase and vice versa. Turned out the pump was originally stuck and the owner was able to fiddle with it and free it up, but it caused the upper "Cup" to turn and that completely...

I've finished making the first batch of adapters and have posted an ad in the Classified section. Also check out the new pictures of a 3 filter set up ( water separator , coarse filter and fine filter ) Those with a keen eye will notice that both filters are the same PN, that was only for the...

You are correct, the Ultimate well nut would be the way to go if I was keeping the machine for myself, but these are for resale and with today's market it's difficult to justify any extra money spent on upgrades. Buyers don't want to pay any extra even knowing you upgraded all the machine's...

How about a punch in the nose.... ?? In all seriousness you are correct, it's one of the worst designs... but one way to overcome it is to use a radiator funnel Not a regular funnel but the one that locks on like a radiator cap and has an attached adjustable funnel that also allows you to bleed...

I'm going to order 2 from Suprman today. I have found the hard way that A3816 doesn't always get you Nitrile. The ones GM sells are clearly marked as Chloroprene which has a "D" rating for diesel fuel, about equal to Neoprene. I have used Chloroprene before ( $5 at Grainger ) and they only...

Use your favorite B.FD.H. Big F-ing deadblow Hammer. (y)

I have had excellent success honing the DN2m's and DN4M's oversized. I have honed them up to .020" oversized and installed oversized pistons from Mayi Diesel. They sell .010" .020 and .030" oversized piston / ring sets. Also, you don't need to do all 4 pistons, only the damaged cylinders. The...

Just go to the parts store and grab a 5 pack of AGC fuses in whatever rating you want from 15 up to 30 Or they may have an assorted pack. They will all fit in the holder, just slightly different amperage rating. If you have a serious failure even the 30A will still pop long before anything else...

Exactly.... The original was a Robert Shaw high flow style. The regular ones work just as well, but are worth about $8 at your local parts store instead of the $25 the Robert Shaw's typically sell for. I once needed to replace a smashed hour meter on a gen. Found a listing at a big name...

In a pinch you can get a 1 1/4" glass tube fuse from the local parts store. The liquid cooled machines take a 30A fuse but I think the air cooled might be less, possibly as low as 10A Take a peek at the one in there and see if it's labeled on the ends.

Secondly... IF you jump the gun and end up buying a 400HZ machine by accident, Do NOT try to pawn it off on someone else pretending you "don't know much about it" or say you can "dial in the Frequency" or otherwise try to pass your mistake of on another unsuspecting person. Own up to your...
