Victor, Have you gone to that link I sent you several threads back and downloaded and READ the manuals on how to operate this generator? All these questions you are asking on on these multiple threads tell me you have no idea how to operate this unit.

You will find everything you need here. The 003 manuals are down a few lines from the top. All of the breakdowns, wiring and repair info for the starter will be in those manuals. I am NOT a generator expert as some of the people that have already answered you are. But I will tell you that if you...

I think the first thing you need to get is a set of manuals!!! If you keep playing around with the wiring and getting it wrong you are going to let the magic smoke out. And once it is out you will never get it back in. Some of that wiring looks pretty sketchy as it is.

Is it just me or does this post also not make sense to others? It does or does not start and it does or does not grind?

Probably to exercise the genset under full load to prevent wet stacking. I would love to have that setup.

Yea, I am going to rob the LOPS out of my other 002 that I keep telling Ray I am going to get working on and then weather of life keeps getting in the way. I will swap the bad on in my good set for that one and put a note on the control panel to that effect.

My LOPS went bad, still have it bypassed and just watch the oil pressure gauge but I really need to get that fixed. But on mine I did notice that the shutters were not opening very far at all. I took it all apart and cleaned everything up and I did find a lot of dirt in there but at least no...

Sounds like you have a partially plugged up oil pressure gauge. The thermal shutdown is most likely caused by the flaps not opening in the shroud, or critter nests in cooling system of the engine. This needs to be checked ASAP since overheating an air cooled engine is certain death for the...

Checking resistors is a royal pain because you are going to be unsoldering and resoldering whether they are bad or not. At least then you know you don't have a bad solder joint at one of the resistors you took out to test and had to put back because it was good.

Be sure to do that work with the machine off

Ray or Guyfang would be your people to talk to. Since Guy is in Germany Ray is the goto guy for help here as far as physical parts and stuff. He has offered to help me with mine but I cannot ever find the time to get into it.

Ray70 on here will probably chime in, he is the 002, 003 expert and he may also do rebuilds.

Ah, So you are quite familiar with Whitworth tools? I might even still have one or two buried in an old box somewhere. I was watching some You Tube show where they were restoring a British armored vehicle of some sort and they actually needed Whitworth tools on some of the parts. Can you imagine...

Oh how I wish I had that bottle when I had my shop and I had to work on MG's and all of the other British vehicles. Not to mention all my BSA and Triumph motorcycles. :LOL:

Starter fluid and glow plugs equals blown head gaskets or worse! I have seen heads blown completely off of pickup trucks doing that, Literally blown off the top of the engine! THAT is a lot of force, and just from the ether being ignited by the glow plugs inside the engine. I never use ether...

Couple of ways to do this. You can open the drains on each filter along the line and close them as you get fuel and that will fill all the filters. That is the majority of your fuel and then you can either loosen the line at the pump or just leave it in the prime setting and let the pumps run...

Would that be the same hose as used on high performance cars with AN fittings? If so they have bulk hose and replaceable ends from Summit racing. Here are some of the fittings but I got lost in the search menu. The stuff is there if you can find it...

If you have no continuity from the plug to the body of the pump then that filter could very well be bad. The do not short out, they fail open circuit. Cut it out and crimp the wires together and check the pump again. I thought you wanted to keep the system as it was. If you put that new pump in...

I can tell you right now that pump is probably not the right pump. These pumps are pass through pumps that are designed so that one pump can pump trough another that is not running. Most of the pumps out there will not do that and that is why they are cheaper. You also need to pay attention to...

I have found the most rust penetrants do nothing on varnish, brake cleaner will sometimes but acetone or carb cleaner is the best. Acetone may not be too good for the wiring if it gets into that so I would stick with carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner. Both evaporate fast in most cases so you...
