Ha ha. I bet none of you guys have ever had a machine that just wouldn't give you a break. The not shutting down thing came back. The way I figured out it's slipping on the shaft is after shutting it down and holding it over against the magnet there is a little gap even when you are pushing it...

Copy that. Thank you. I figured but right now I'm trying to make sure I check every possibility. So the not shutting down came back again. I'm pretty sure i got it now. The actuator arm is/ was slipping on its rod. It had been squeezed down to much and I'm still not sure it won't again but I...

Well this morning was pretty informative. Apparently the times I've held 3kw were all first run of the day. Today it held 3kw for a bit before starting to choke. Also thank you kloppk for the magnet fix. The tms say don't touch that so I haven't but I moved it just enough to grab the arm and now...

Sorry I really need to get better at proof reading before i send. Sometimes I go back and i have a hard time figuring out what I was saying. " I didn't mess with the magnet "

I do have it set to 5/16 at no load. That little piece of lead just fell off in the last couple days. It was only hanging on by one side and I've been moving the gen around to get the exhaust off and stuff. The magnet not holding just happened basically over night. I can promise I didn't need...

This is the pic with it shut off. When I turn the switch to off it goes over to the magnet for a couple seconds then it let's it go and it keeps running. If you turn the switch to run it revs up Settles in and then if you switch to off it repeats. This is a new problem And I've tried the things...

Here is a video of it blowing black smoke then clearing up then the same a few times. I honest didn't expect it to choke and kick out because it had been running like that quite a while but I caught it dropping the load i believe just from to low of rpm. It ran about 3 hours at 2.75kw then I...

Here is running with 2.8kw and running no load. I didn't shut the machine off to get one with no power machine not running. The no load Pic does still have the contactor engaged but the load bank was at zero. It is smoking less now than it was the first couple hours.

Powered with no load? It's weird right now i don't know if I accidentally bent the linkage or something. The magnet won't hold the arm in the closed position even with the power off. It always did before. I learned a lot about the mechanical governor because I moved the spring all the way over...

I'll tinker with that. It could be many things. Heck it's starting to shut down then it pops it out and gets going again. I would think electrical maybe a loose connection but with the machine off and the batteries not connected i could always just push the arm over to the magnet and it would...

We are at 3000 feet here What would cause the extra tension on the magnet so the machine won't shut off now? I did it several times and it will start to shut off then release the magnet and keep running?

So I got the new push rods. They aren't the same by about 4mm. I decided to put them in and see if i even had that much adjustment. I do. They are at the very tip of the adjuster though. My problem is when I rotate the engine all the way around to tdc. At the combustion point if I rotate slowly...

Your pretty smart. A little time with the brass wire brush and the discoloration all but disappeared.

Thank you again for the help. I'm hesitant to get to excited that's the problem but it sure does seem like the right disease for the symptom. I do like the new fuel lines. Would you take the head off and have a look or just put the new pushrod in and try it? The Yanmar book says not to go any...

I also filled the filter with sea foam and ran the pump for a while. The when I bumped the start button it started before one revolution. ( it seemed anyway) with it starting that easy or would think the timing should be correct hu? Any way i ran it for a minute or two now I'm letting it sit for...

I am open to any critiques. All new fuel lines more pics coming. I used pipe dope on all the tees. Used clamps that crimp. Doubled some clamps where the barb was long enough. I was very careful not to get pipe dope beyond the threads into the line.

I replied to myself. It must be hard to communicate with me on here. I'm trying to do better and reply to the right questions. I'm learning how to use this forum also. Any way i posted a little video showing those arms and pin but posted it as a reply to me about this question. I think i posted...
