I bought two alternators and when I got them I kind of recognize one but the other one is a head scratcher. It has the electrical inputs in the center and an external fan on the back end opposite the pulley. And here is the one I recognize, but it has a rough bearing in it, what is the name of...

I am wedged between NYC, Philadelphia and Washington DC. Don't think I will have to worry too much about it if it happens. :rolleyes: Just a thought for those who were thinking along those lines.

Just a curiosity question here, no politics, but since "the big one" has been mentioned I want to know what happens to EV's when the EMP hits? I am thinking after that the only thing they are good for is a bonfire. The MEP's will run on forever as long as you can find fuel because they have no...

You really need to read the manual before running the set so you don't screw it up. I hate to be that RTFM guy but it pertains here. There are a lot of things you can do that will cause damage if done wrong.

Chainbreaker, This is what I was talking about, the level three chargers. I am not a gen-set expert but I am pretty sure that 50 Kw DC set would manage that wouldn't it? And I am positive some of the bigger AC sets would run those chargers. In that link I put down there the section on Level 3...

Are you talking about regular 220 charging or the High energy chargers that are 460 volt? Big difference in charge times and the length of time the diesel has to be running, hence the amount of fuel used.

I have to agree that the timing is wrong. What you described is the valves overlapping which is 180 degrees out from TDC compression.

The very first thing I would do is remove the shrouds and blow out any debris! That is your cooling and also check to make sure the louvers work freely. If those or the thermostat are frozen they will never open and it will overheat. The overheat switch will reset when it cools off.

They are the steps from a multi bit step drill...

What Guyfang says makes sense. In todays times all the stuff like demill and processing out is done by civilian contractors who do not give a darn about going by the book. I know a guy here in NJ whose job it is to just drive and exercise ALL of the military equipment on the base. Trucks...

Excellent idea! Being fuel oil it should hold up for a long time. I am thinking those tanks are probably not all that common?

Was the oil also drained? Hopefully not by the same method! A lot of depots will demill the sets by draining all fluids but usually through drain plugs. I am assuming that fuel tank does not have a drain? Odd they would go to the trouble to pull a cover and do that and go to the trouble of...

I have rebuilt quite a few of them and I have been running one on my own 151 for ten years now with no issues.

The only "Modern" version was the Taiwanese version of the Zenith built under contract from Zenith as replacement carb. The numbers on top of the carb are different but other than that it is a 13660 series carb.

Yes I am.

Nobody has mentioned trailer lights. You are not going to be able to plug into the 24 volt trailer lights so a cheapo set of magnetic lights from Harbor Freight will get the job done. I would jack up each side and spin the tire and listen for any bad noises. If smooth and quiet I would probably...

I do rebuilds on the 151 carbs. I do not really advertise other than word of mouth from people who have had them done by me. I take your core and clean it and rebuild it with modern parts from Zenith. I do not bead blast it and make it show car pretty. My prices are much lower than Brooks but...

Subscribing because this sounds just like the problem I have with one of mine. You can verify the fuel supply by watching the return line from the injectors to the tank, if there is fuel returning to the tank then fuel supply is good.

I completely missed the purchase date on the batteries in the first post. I saw the battery maintainer and missed the batteries thinking they were also new. So the batteries were 7 years old and that would explain it.

Take the cables off of the starter and clean them and put them back. Check all of your battery connections. It sounds like a bad starter connection.
