Unfortunately it was home made. I cut a ring out of 1/8" rigid plastic just slightly larger diameter than the float. Then drilled the a hole in the center tight enough to press the disc onto the end of the sender, then a little JB weld quick epoxy to secure it to the sender. Initially I was...

I agree... sounds like the metering pumps are borderline at best. Some times the pins will be loose enough to move just by tilting the pump side to side. If you can't flick the pin side to side with 1 finger there is a problem. I have had good luck soaking them in the gallon size can of Gunk...

The metering pump you show is not stuck compressed, it looks fine. Make sure the levers ( pins) that fit into the rack are free to move on both pumps. you might also want to remove both pumps ( it isn't a big deal if you remove both together ) and make sure the rack is moving freely itself. As...

In addition, you can buy most of the gaskets directly from Cummins and the prices are often cheaper than other on-line places. For instance if you google MEP-002a head gasket you will find a place selling them for $99, but if you go to Cummins it is $15. If you can't find something specific let...

I wouldn't be overly concerned with the compression just yet. if you have 370 in both cylinders and it starts up ok without continued smoking after startup, then something else is causing your issue. If it's hunting and or drooping excessively and can't correct it with adjustment there may be a...

Is it a bit difficult to start, and do the valve covers get abnormally hot fairly quickly? If so your injection pump may be 180* out of time. The video would be invaluable to help troubleshoot.... Surprisingly Guy didn't ask you, so I will.... Is this set new to you and have you ever seen it...

Looking at the picture it appears that the fuel line has been disconnected from the transfer pump. Start by giving the gen a good look over and compare things to the TM and see what the GP guys did exactly so you can put it back together to start the diagnosis.

Replace the rubber fuel hoses feeding the metering pumps first. Then either crack open the upper nut where the hard line comes out of the top of your metering pumps or crack the line where it attaches to the injector up top, if you have the top cover off. Put the main switch in the prime/run...

Yes, please start a new discussion about you 831. Regarding the 802, we should clarify exactly what you are seeing now. The term "turn on" is too vague for us to follow exactly what your current status is. I believe you are saying you now have 24V at the control panel and the panel is...

Are you going to roll up any of the sides in foil and set them on top of the engine to cook? Gotta take full advantage of that extra heat energy. I think potatoes take about 6 hours at 180F Crescent rolls are probably only 2 hours, unless it's really windy out.... Test your cylinder balance by...

Looks good. Merry Christmas!

Ok, got it. I sent you a PM and a message through Paypal trying to get your address, guess you can ignore them! The adapters will be headed your way shortly.

Wow, who even wants to GO outside let alone be out there cooking at -20? Instead of hanging out by the grill with a beer did you bring a keg of Brandy?

Happy Holidays to everyone! First let me start by saying that EVERYTHING the others have mentioned about the different types of corrosion is solid fact. However ( gonna go out on a limb here... ) I think we may be analyzing this too hard. While the facts are true, I think the chances of you...

And it's made by Lucas, so it's the good stuff! Not that cheap aftermarket replacement smoke!

Glad you were successful with the pump! Once you get started on cleaning the tank we definitely have some pointers for you.

Sounds like there is a chance you have a bad diode in your alternator. How long does it take for your batteries to drain down if you don't shut off the dead crank switch?

I have to agree with DieselAddict. You should really think about your realistic needs. Do you really have to have enough power available to run EVERYTHING at once? I also have a good size house with a very big detached shop, well pump, electric stove, oil heat electric dryer, central AC, heat...

So you're trying to build a dip tube to fit into an 2" NPT bung and convert to -5AN / 5/16" JIC? Get yourself a duplex bung adapter...

You will want to look in the Generator TM section. Look at the Power unit TM's for the 802 and 803. The PU-797 is an 802 and PU-798 is 803 10K unit. They came is a couple different versions, steel and aluminum. Steel has leaf springs, aluminum is torsion tube And a couple different body shapes...
