You say the switch is set correctly for 120 and the voltages are correct for 3 phase. You should be set for single phase for a home unless you have some strange wiring in your house and it is wired for three phase. I will assume you are set at single phase, have you checked the voltage adjust...

So you are saying you no longer need to be approved through the government to buy surplus equipment? No EUC? Looks like it is still needed for vehicles and I needed it for all the gen-sets I bought. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/euc-help.87/

I was trying with the actuator out of the unit but actually that unit only pushes the louvers open. When cool the button on the actuator retracts and the springs on the louvers close them. There is no connection between the louvers and the actuator.

On mine the pivot that the louver rods attach to was bound up pretty tight on the shaft. I had to take the whole thing apart and drive out the shaft, sand of the rust on the shaft and grease it up and reassemble everything. Even then trying to open the louvers by hand is really tough. I may take...

I decided to give mine a good going over and an oil change after this last outage in preparation for the next one and in my checks I found that my air louvers were not opening! The pivot had bound up in there so had to take it all apart and clean the rust off and grease it up and put it all back...

DOH!aua And I have two of them in the yard!! Right there in my sig!!! I was just working on mine and didn't think to try the fill tube blowby check. It is just not natural to me to pull a fill tube while an engine is running, on many engines that is a recipe for a face full of oil!

The OP is asking about the 002, isn't the 002A water cooled? The 002 is a very basic air cooled 2 cylinder and even though I have not tried it on mine it would be normal for a fair amount of blowby to come out.

Not trying to be a smart azz but you seem to have a few denial issues LOL. The batteries are junk! 5 years max and on a gen-set that vibrates like these do 5 years is asking a lot. If they were ever run down below 11 volts you will be lucky to get 2 years out of them. So get a couple new...

Light in the dark, I was looking at that charger of yours and I was thinking about one thing, IF that has a common ground then it will be shorting the two 12 volt batteries to 24 volt at the ground instead of running series. You can only charge two batteries that are hooked up in series while...

Yea, I need to get an outside outlet at that end of the house. I actually need to get all of my electrical work done, the 110 outlets, the 220 transfer input and the 30 amp out for the RV.

I tested My generator the other day and it started up and ran just fine. Was cutting wood a couple weeks ago, again no problems. Storm comes through and destroys everything and generator batteries are dead! My M-151 is not running so can't jump it with the slave and I couldn't reach it if I...

You are going to have to get into that air box to see what is going on. Either it has crap (nest) in it or your ducting has failed. Either way, if it worked before and it is not now that tells you that there is an issue and you will destroy it if you keep denying it and keep running it. I don't...

Drain your filters and see if any water comes out. If it does that could be a suspect. Also loose fuel hoses on the suction side of the pump pulling air. If it just flat out shuts off with no stumbling that sounds like a safety. Or a loose on/off switch wire.

You say it is closing, how do you know? It sounds like an intermittent problem to me. Bypass it and if it does not shut down again you found your problem. As far as the temp switch are there any critter nests built inside the shrouds? You can bypass that one too be you have no gauge like you do...

Sounds like an oil pressure safety switch to me. Verify you are full of oil and actually have oil pressure and if both of those are good then bypass the safety switch and see if the problem goes away. I had a switch go bad on mine.

Have you checked to see if you are getting fuel TO the pump?

Can you share some of those drugs?

Thanks, I have been saving all of this to my computer even though a lot of it does not pertain to me but at least it will all be in one spot for future reference when the subject comes up again. I am not putting it in any special order at this point since I do not have the skills that some of...

Question here, NDT, Is what you are putting up here in acrobat the same as what Carnac put up in Excel? Or is this in addition to that?
