Over the weekend I got the fuel lines on one of the 803's replaced so I could load test it. Started the unit and warmed it up. It had the normal raw fuel smell the LP engines have before they warm up BUT in this case the smell only decreased some but didn't go away. Hm...
I warmed it up and put it on load and its doing fine holding the load but more smoke than normal. Maybe it is wetstacked. It has about 50hrs showing on the clock. I bring the load up and it looks like it is running on 3 cylinders. Crap.
Initial checks - no crankcase pressure (good news). Getting some puffing in the intake. Thinking we have a stuck intake valve.
Interestingly even running on 3 cylinders it will still make 10kw. It won't make 12 but it will make 10. This should be a strong runner once I get it running on all 4.
Will document the progress as I make it here.
