That's the crank key, I'm curious about a possible issue with the camshaft and / or the attachment of the cam gear on the camshaft.

Don't rely just on the alignment dots. I'm talking about making sure the cam gear is attached to the camshaft correctly. I think the end of the cam has a slot cut in it and the gear has a horizontal bar sticking out that locks into the slot in the cam. Make sure the end of the cam didn't split...

Did you check the camshaft to see if the cam and gear are intact and aligned?

That's a sure sign that the valve timing is incorrect. It sounds like you should just go ahead and pull the timing cover off and take a look.. See if there are signs of someone else being in there previously. Perhaps someone assembled things incorrectly ( timing gears improperly aligned ) or...

Feel free to go ahead and ignore everything I said! I think I replied before drinking my first coffee and didn't look close enough at the gage. I thought I remembered straight up being Zero and simply saw the gage left of 12:00 and assumed it was on the discharge side..... Not at all, your gage...

At some point you should check the battery charging alternator. In one of the pictures the ammeter seems to be sitting in the negative. That is fairly odd, typically it will be up in the positive range immediately after starting and slowly settle back to zero to ~+2 while running. It's also...

How are you measuring the backpressure? Are you using a manometer, of judging it simply by feel? The 803 and by far worse, the 802 can be deceiving if you just go by feel with the oil fill cap off because of the crank and pistons pulsing up and down. To test compression I made a steel tube the...

Anything is possible. I believe the LPW4 gear is held to the gear with a slot in the cam and tang on the gear. Perhaps the ears of the slot in the cam have broken off. Only way to know if to pull it off. You could try pulling the #1 injector and valve cover and stick a screwdriver of rod down...

When you tightened the rocker arms did you follow the instructions and allow the lifters to sit and bleed down for 1/2 hour , then rotate the motor by hand and let it sit again before cranking the engine? If you don't the lifters will be pumped up, causing the valves to hit the pistons and bend...

Ha! perfect. I sent you a PM and will reply with more info.

Hey Tomorrow Club, by chance were you trying to contact me Via PM and a message on ebay regarding my fuel filter adapters?

That's because Guy never sleeps! ( nothing to do with him being in Germany ) rofl

The linkage is spring loaded internally to allow it to expand lengthwise when the fuel solenoid pushes it down while the governor linkage is trying to pull up on it. It does not go up under fuel pressure. Even with the engine off, the governor is trying to pull the throttle wide open. Despite...

I typically just make a little daisy chain with 1/4" Faston connectors for the gage lights and a snap spade connector on the end, jump from each gage bulb with the Faston's and connect the spade to one of the panel light sockets. Make sure to secure the wires to the wire harness, otherwise they...

I 2nd jumping the high temp switch.

At 5000W your load meter should be reading about where the green line is at 80% output. On the Temp gage, the 240 degree gages usually read right around 200 when the motor is operating correctly with a 180 degree thermostat installed.

Even if whacking the pump gets it going again, do yourself a favor and get rid of that Facet Cube pump.... it's guaranteed to let you down at the least opportune moment! I'm actually a bit surprised it quit on you during a periodic test..... usually they wait for the start of an extended power...

You're not the first victim of the E-stop..... and you won't be the last! How do you think we know to ask....? Because we've been there too!

That Onan tag would have been glued to the block right where you see that white adhesive residue below and to the right of the starter.

Not to state the obvious, but is the RED E-Stop button pulled out?
