yeah if I get a video camera! I have a Go Pro which could take time lapse in the shop. I thought it would be neat to see a teardown and rebuild. The one problem with the older style go pro is that there is no way to see what it is pointed at as the picture is being taken. It's great for...

The 002 and 003 are prechambered engines and use pintle style nozzles which is most common for prechambered engines. This represents the most forgiving and favorable combustion chamber design for WMO and WVO setups. No changes in the nozzle, delivery valve, or pump timing are probably needed...

I have mig welded using .035 wire and 1/4 steel single pass using a 3Kw MEP-016B, no issues. My daughter reported 75% +/- on the load meter and pretty steady once moving along. Not too much inrush either. However, I cannot even strike an arc with a 225 lincoln box. I would say the Lincoln...

Question: Are 2 lights for determining phase rotation only required for 3 phase? I noticed you used one light. If you had reverse rotation on single phase and PF less than 1.0 would this be an issue? Or is there such a thing? Also, was this as close as you could get the 2 sets to run before...

Thats a good mod. It will be interesting to note how the field current changes with temperature, load and power factor. Particularly as a unit is loaded cold and allowed to warm up. It will also be interesting to see how long it takes to reach a stable temp or condition with load. When I...

If the generator does not need much work or repairs to get it running I think that is a very good deal. $600 is definitely lower price than average in the last few auctions. $180 to ship all that weight is pretty good too.

I sent you a PM

Walt, The labeling is not 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 it is I-1, I-2, I-3. "I" is the abbreviation for current or load. The generator has 3 live outputs on the plastic box on the side, L1, L2, L3, and a neutral output, L0 All of the knobs on the front can be moved while the unit is running to check the...

When I checked into it they told me that it was not available in the US. I did find a K&N filter that would work. But I prefer paper. I think if enough time is spent searching an alternate can be found. It is just that no one likes to list the dimensions. I just bought some NOS Nelsons...

I ordered the minimum length of 5ft of that orange exhaust hose for the very same reason, had one with a hole in it. Not much of a hole but I want it made right. Anyway, it looks like I got the end of the reel and they must have said just send the rest of it! So I got around 12ft or so on hand...

Well, you were right on the money. I broke out the Oxy-Acetelyne (Don't have a MAPP) and carefully heated the perimeter of the aluminum fan while turning the engine over. I kept the bolts in but backed them way off. Within 2 minutes the flex plate just dropped out with the bolts holding it...

Yes, although I need to paint them. It might add a day to the ship time. I will always keep some on hand as I use them automatically on every unit I come across. If I run out I'll make more! Just send me a PM when you are ready.

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to get to the rear main seal on the engine as it is leaking oil. I have the stator off and the 8 bolts holding the flexplate to the gen fan are out. The flexplate is stuck on the fan, and it is stuck tight. I tried prying and smacking the rotor with a deadblow hammer...

Sigo, Glad to hear it arrived okay and is working well. I've been working on several units since December and I noticed today that Advance Auto has put their Auto Craft U1-1 batteries on sale for $21.99 each. Last year they had them for the same price and kept renewing through March. The...

Or die with no output at all. Regulators are more likely to fail then the magnets or coils. Jumping a unit with stone dead batteries or no battery and running with the jumper disconnnected is tough on the regulator. Without the good voltage reference that a good battery provides the regulator...

$105 for everything except batteries, includes hardware, cable, disconnect, and shipping with insurance and tracking to the lower 48. Send a PM if interested. I had originally stated $75 for just the tray and top clamp in another post a while back. +cable $7, disconnect $5, UPS boxing $7...

The regulator case itself does not have to be grounded. However, one of the 4 wires coming out of the case that goes to the terminal strip is a ground wire. So check that terminal screw against the negative battery to make sure a ground does exist where that wire attaches to the terminal strip.

I've pulled frames a dozen times. Remove all the hardware on items that are bolted to the frame but leave all the items hanging. Completely remove the rubber control box vibration isolators on the right side. Leave the left side isolators attached to the box. Unbolt the frame and wiggle it...

Easy to diagnose. First confirm that the battery is around 24 volts with the unit off Run the unit and measure battery voltage. 26-32 is fine. If the battery voltage running is the same as it was when stopped then proceed: Trace the 4 white wires from the regulator to the terminal strip...

Onan DJ series are old school prechambered diesel engines and are not designed to start cold unaided. The glow plug in the prechamber is most beneficial as it gets orange hot and is hit directly with fuel spray on the injection stroke. Once the prechamber builds temp it will be smooth and...
