    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    Howdy, I repeat, it is a battery problem. A alternator problem. You need the proper voltage for it to work correctly.

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    Howdy, Go put your batteries on a charger. Have them fully charged.

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    Howdy, Let me convey some thinking. I myself would rather start with a known broken engine and do all the things I need to do. To start into a engine which was said to have been taken apart and put back together and have the issues you are coming up with... no way. RTV might have its place here...

    Howdy, I do not have a dog in this fight either. You got reamed. You would have been better off not knowing anything was done with the engine and doing it all correctly yourself. You would have been better off with a non runner and working it over. It is a sad state of affairs when you accept...

    Howdy, With the simple paper test for vacuum over the oil fill shows what? blowing or vacuum? OK, you have break-in oil in the unit. You have monitored the oil level at all times? is it using oil? What does the exhaust smell like? say at 60% power, say at your 80-81% problems, what does the...

    Howdy, A Onan DN_M (Lister-Petter LPW_) engine is sloppy precision. It is not spec'd like a new current engine. The design itself is now over 30 years old. Break in oil is just that. Non detergent oil with additives for the proper mating of metal to metal surfaces. I was under the impression...

    Howdy, Let's clear some things up. The Letterkenny army depot uses John Deere break-in plus oil. They fill MEP rebuild units with that oil. A 100 hour change oil tag is attached. John Deere Break-In Plus can be gotten at any John Deere dealer. Breaking in any engine is important for the life...

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    Howdy, Some of your answers are too short. Rebuild = rebuilt by the guy you bought the unit from. (does he know what he's doing?) How much of a rebuild was done? Why did that person rebuild it? Was a new hour meter installed by the guy that did this rebuild? Note: John Deere break-in oil is...

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    Howdy, Before you have everyone on the forums throwing guesses out... You need to confirm a few things for proper assistance. Did you change out all filters? (fuel cartridge, spin-on water/fuel, oil filter, air filter) Have you drained any and all fuel from the tank? Have you cleaned the tank...
