Do i got my bore gauge. It's a cheap one but for my level of expertise it should be fine. I zero ed. I don't know how to write zeroed, zerod? It to the smallest dimension I could find in the cylinder wall. It has a .01 mm per mark measuring ability and I couldn't find anywhere in the cylinder...

Correct me if I'm wrong. The carbon and smoke are from over fueling. So rings not holding proper compression mean each explosion isn't giving the expected power so it's sending more fuel to compensate. Hence over fueling? I can at least see logic in that. I did find a guy around here that...

Okay so the top ring was stuck in place. There are some scratches in the piston above where it (the gap) was stuck. I ordered a bore measuring tool. I thought for a minute that the timing was off because my dots didn't come together but with a little more turning they matched up. Ha ha...

Well i see I'm not alone at least. I still want to buy them but have to stop myself. I too have noticed that the gens are selling for quite a bit more on the auction that they were when I first started buying them. That's why I thought I could at least sell them easily when I got off my lazy...

I found a thread on here about getting that pmg off and the tool to use. Stop looking i found it. I will be digging into this engine soon. I don't have an internal micrometer. I should probably start looking into which shops around here might bore that out for me. This is getting outside my...

I'm definitely going to do that once i figure out how to get the PMG out of my way. I do need to get the rotor out of the stator yes? Can I take the retaining ring off and pull them both together? I got it to come out about an inch so far but my puller isn't correct. Can someone recommend the...

The one head stud bolt is really rusty. Not sure what to think of that as well. The head gasket looked okay to me no obvious leakage. I sprayed pb blaster in the cylinder on the piston and it stayed for quite a while. As i moved the piston up and down there did seem to be a spot where it might...

Copy that. I just thought maybe someone took it apart and didn't put them all back. The TM says 16-18. .. 13 is what I was seeing. Then the TM says add shims to add degrees but that's backwards right? Closer the the lobe adds degrees yes? More shims means less degrees? I'm pretty confused...

So as i add shims and get closer to TDC I think I realize the TM is backwards? The TM says if it's before 16 add shims. What am I seeing wrong? I did check the injector spray and timing and it looks good and happens at about 5 degrees. Since add far as i can tell now I need to remove shims I...

Me too! This is my favorite Gen. Well gens. I don't have the need for uninterrupted power so the sync box is a novelty but I like it.

Much better! Thanks again for the help! It looks good with new lamps.

I guess I better stop buying gens. I've been telling my wife is can sell them if I want to. Ha ha. I was working a lot of hours and was collecting projects cause I enjoy fixing things. Most of them I bought as non running machines. From what I've seen I've gotten really lucky and they have all...

So I got a gen at the auction thinking it looked rough enough it might be a good parts gen. I paid a bit much for a parts gen but with the price of parts it should wash pretty quick. Well after about 15 minutes with my meter and some hand tools it's running making power and sounds pretty good...

I'm going to set it up with the fuel injector hooked up but not in the cylinder then try to see exactly when it pops. Seems like the only way to know for sure. I'm not fully understanding the TM on how I check the timing. I thought that's what I was doing.

I've made a few videos of different tries angles ect. I put the one shim back in and if anything i think it shows more that I need more. Probably it was the fact that I hooked up batteries and had the fuel pump running though. I'm wondering if someone pulled the pump and only reinstalled it...

I made this video of checking the injection timing. Can anyone tell me if it looks right or I'm doing something wrong. This video is with no shims under the injection pump because I haven't put it back in since I decided to see what would happen if I took it out. I watched a u tube video of a...

Copy that. Thank you. I feel like I have done this. The wire and lead were in tact when I got the unit so I'm thinking those are at least where the factory put them. The lead has since fallen off but the wire is still in the hole. I did adjust the full load voltage with the actuator held in...

Quick question? Does any body have a recommendation or warning about gasket kits for these? I see many options on ebay. I just don't want to make the mistake of using junk or are they all the same? I suppose I should change any gasket i open right? I thought I should put new sleeves on the...

No air filter is the same. I'll try the air trick but I've pretty thoroughly checked the restricted air possibility but ill try anything since i obviously don't have the answer.

One more update. I'm a little embarrassed about this one but I was mistaken about the lamps in the old ones being removable. I guess some the one i tried to take apart had been arced and melted i was under the impression that they weren't removable because that one wasn't. But after getting the...
