Ill test the 2 that are untested. I know I have 2 different styles. If nobody has a bad one you could borrow one.

Yep and yep. I used to do fleet maintenance and between that and my own stuff know the routine well. My friend that owns auto repair shop that does lots of lube would know better than me but we both run into the occasional "this model sucks no matter what you do" type spin on filters. On those...

I dont like how that sounds.... But the idea of just driving around with the tank in the back of the truck for a week sounds good.

Plastic tank. While waiting for the IP and injectors I intend on pulling it out if possible. It appears it just slides out from the control panel side. Since this is going to be a primary stationary application once I make sure the tank is cleaned out I am likely to never put fuel in it and...

Thank you very much strycnine, your contact that was local to me I just spent 6 hours at his shop talking. He is a good connection to have, yanmar dealer, cnc stuff, all kinds of machinery. Lets just say I have triple the knowledge about these yanmar engines that I went in there with now as he...

Guy, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you. Took me a bit to get answers to questions and pictures. For what I "think" the check valve is, these 3 pictures: 2nd 2 pictures being I am holding in my hand what I think it is. Its hollow as hollow could be, but with how its machined it is...

Correction, They all look like that the first ANY time you change the filter. It seems that you can literally tighten the filter with 2 fingers and 6 months later you try to take it off and it might as well be welded on. Or thats just my luck and along with a lot of forum reading. Even with...

Im also very good at derailing threads... Oh look a squirrel I think we both have valid points. But before I go more into that I will go eat some anti-squirrel snacks so we can stay on topic. As for the 10 series, I agree the prices will go down as well, but maybe not and I am sure there are...

While I agree with what devilphrog said, and from what I experienced when I went up to panama city to help out for a few weeks, the value of some things just change. For people who prep for a 1/100 hurricane, they think about being prepared, what to power, fuel, etc... not so much operating...

It all comes down to the surge being lower than the setpoint on the gen. There were some motors that the gen had no problem starting, but there were some that I was dumbfounded on why it wouldnt start. 3/4hp garbarge disposal and the chop saw I expected not to start, but I expected it to run the...

With my testing with the 831 they dont like motor loads due to the startup current. While I did not have an AC blower to test because the house I was testing at was an inverter multizone mini split system, some motors that were tried were small bench grinder, chop saw, garbage disposal. All 3 of...

Well I havent hooked up a scope to these units, they are inverter generators rated at 3kw, I doubt pure sine. Priced like that I would hope its been gone through, all rubber replaced, not just fluids and filters. If its just fluids and filters Id say its overpriced, but thats my opinion. I sell...

An update: Well I have 2 stanadyne authorized shops that I have narrowed down to using, one being local but just so happens the upstream distributor they have to get their parts from is the larger rebuild shop on the other coast. Local one is more expensive and is a small company, but talking to...

3 phase variac Or 3 variacs coupled together.

To add info because it causes me a headache and may save some people in the future: -4 AN on the inside of the generators, and the aux hoses are the next size up being -5 AN. IDK if that holds true for anything bigger than an 803, but just an observation on the smaller ones. My 006 is -5...

If the injection pumps are adjusted too far to one side it will do this, basically the governor cant turn them off enough to stop the engine. Not saying that this is the problem in your case but it would be the first thing I would look at. If you touch the pumps you will need some way to...

Part # 8 on that sheet. Best picture I can find online is: All of the ones that have gone bad that I have seen turn into a thicker version of tar. It doesnt clean up at all and somehow I got it in the seat of my truck.... aua... I cant really use WD40 on my truck seats expecting positive...

Especially in disaster situations because fuel conservation becomes more important than having power. Run smallest one that can parallel, that will be the nighttime set if its even needed, last year 1 house needed it and one didnt need night time power. come daybreak when you need the power...

One thing that is unrelated but I know I the bridge will come up: Pump timing and reinstall. The manual and what was actually on the set seem to be a little off. When preparing for removal I went through the manual with the genset to emulate myself reinstalling and to document exactly how the...

So after getting a super clean 006a which almost looks brand new minus a dented door and a few missing screws, I need to find a shop to rebuild the injection pump. It was so varnished up the shutdown linkage took a good few minutes of rocking back and forth to get it to move freely, and as it...
