Injectors and glow plugs if still there. Fuel pumps but looks like this is nothing more than the basic engine and none of the main genset. I certainly would not pay to ship a stripped engine across the country! You could buy a genset complete for less.

WOW! I just saw those prices!! I paid 300 and 350 for my gensets. If I had to spend that much I would scrap them out for parts and buy a decent civilian commercial unit.

I cannot speak for others, If they are interested they will see this and respond.

I know there are a couple guys here that rebuild those pumps but if Ambac has stopped support where are they going to get parts? I know timing buttons were always an issue but there are other parts that break that if not supported by replacement parts then there might be a problem.

I have seen all of the above as separate units but never together with the exception of welder/generators since the generator function supports the job. I think the main reason for separate units is the military is just like the unions. In the union each person has one job and one job only. In...

One thing I do wonder about is where all of his vehicles have gone, the later ones he probably still has stashed but I am wondering about all of his older ones.

I did a search for him and he has basically fallen off the face of the earth. Probably by design. Last thing I found was he was on his boat and doing some work in the northeast but that was a couple years ago. Sometimes people just burn out and want to disappear. Soni worked non stop for a long...

I'm confused, You said you put another control box on and it was working fine. Then you said you changed a bunch of stuff and it no longer made power. I am guessing you went back to the old control box? But from the sounds of it you are now outside of the control box. So did the good box die or...

The very first problem I see is that you just guessed at the problems and threw parts at it instead of following established diagnostic procedures. That may sound a bit harsh but the fact of the matter is that those diagnostics are there for just this reason, so you do not go off on a wild goose...

I do not. But Guyfang who mentioned the windings and the meter most certainly does.

Goes to show how much I know about generators!!! That would have to be a serious short somewhere wouldn't it? Like obvious type short.

That is where the magic smoke used to live. I am not an expert on these but that is not deep enough to be into the windings and I see a diode so there may still be hope.

Once the magic smoke is gone you can't put it back!!!!

Exactly, Each post seems to contradict the previous one.

Thanks, I actually found it in the TM 9-2320-212-20, page 2-169. I couldn't find it in the other manuals but this one gives a good description of the windshield adjustment and the rear top adjustment. Or as good as a military manual gets anyway.

Interesting, I am going to have to go back over the threads covering this in the past but I am pretty sure you are going against what they are saying about grounding the generator. You are definitely going against what the manual says to do. And if I am interpreting what Guy said you are going...

Ok, So Guy, You are saying to ground the genset only and hook up the three wires to the house but do not bond the house ground to the genset? This way when the genset is running but not connected to the house it is safe but when it is hooked to the house the neutral is the floating ground? That...

Burning ATF in the fuel is not a good idea, this in NOT a multifuel engine. If you want pump lubrication then use two stroke oil which is designed to be burned. Better yet use Power Service Lubrication and Cetane additive. ATF is designed NOT to burn and will leave a lot of carbon on the...

So you are saying do not bond everything above ground and ground o earth at one point but instead ground at the house AND the generator and create a ground loop? I know there are a million threads pertaining to this but how many of those threads are referencing the bad codes? Not one of the 7...

Interesting video. I know on my generator I have it wired into my panel through a safety interlock and I have it wired with four wires. The two hots, neutral and ground. The ground is tied into the house ground so that is bonding the generator to the house wiring and ground, all above ground as...
