i have an 003A that runs my mothers place. the reason she needs the bigger is her home has more electric appliances than mine and i wanted her to have uninterrupted air conditioning. other than that an 002A would fit that application also. i can tell you from experience that the 003A uses a lot...

that is actually a very good question. i haven't run it for more than about 30 min maybe 45 min yet. according to the instrument cluster the charge will start a little above 10 amp and will sense down to just above the red green line maybe 1/32 of an inch into the red. i am just a little...

the gauge on the control panel on my 802a always registers a few amp and is overcharging the battery's. my question is the voltage regulator on the battery charging alternator adjustable or do i need to just replace it? Thanks

i think you will be pleasantly surprised how well you will get along with an 002A. i can run my whole homestead with one 002a as long as i add the loads and get them cycling and not dump the whole thing at once. i run a well pump for 100 cows my home electric clothes dryer and shop. i very...

if the cyl were glazed and loosing compression the lost compression would blow by the unseated rings into the crankcase causing positive cranckase pressure. you did the paper test and state there is no positive pressure so the rings are seated and working as they should. "but the engine is still...

yes i saw that. and also saw that 10w30 was for intermittent use only

so the LOP safety does kill the engine by turning off the primary fuel pump as well as the stop solenoid? have you tried running in battle short? s

i just realized that you said the stop solenoid isn't connected? correct? if so then the LOP shutdown shouldn't have any affect on anything. unless it shuts off the primary fuel pump or throws a breaker that does the same.

is there a spark arrestor built into the exhaust? could the engine have been assembled with the wrong pistons? or cam?

yes this is an engine problem. i am beginning to think maybe the cam timing might be off. what you think? the smoke at 70% aprox load says unburnt fuel. low oil pressure indicates"to me" wrong viscosity or to much heat. the engine it being killed by the safety for LOP so can't really establish...

if oil was in spec 15w40 the engine would run cooler and carry higher OP and not shut down when more load is applied. might need to adjust governor for more fuel delivery?but black smoke indicates fuel might be OK. what would happen if the LOP safety didn't shut down the engine? in the LPW...

on page 15 10w30 engine oil is for intermittent operation only. 30w oil is recommended for a narrow temp range. 40wt oil is not recommended. 15w40 fits the temp band and operation requirements. 20w40 is also recommended for hotter temp range. also is noted that break in oil is 10w30 for first...

low oil pressure shutdown? could the L.O.P shutdown switch be bad? might try single weight oil 30w or 40w and see if the engine will run long enough to get the rated load up to 100%. things are improving though. does this engine have an engine oil cooler???

ok if the fuel delivery is in spec the next thing would be to check and see if the governor is opening the rack enough at high demand. i suspect it is because of the black smoke during high loads. so lets assume the governor is working as it should then the next would be air volume. can you...

i could be wrong but 6psi primary fuel pressure seems low. i don't know what the spec is for sure but experience tells me it should be more like 15 psi. this would definitely cause similar symptoms. maybe someone who knows the part number and mfg of the fuel pump can google and find out.

after all of this guessing and chasing it would probably benefit you to run a compression check on all cylinders. then you will know for sure and can cross that off of your list before advancing on into the fuel system. confirm compression and air then fuel. i assume that while you had the...

if i understand correctly. the engine stop lever opens or closes the fuel rack either completely closed shutting off the fuel or completely open to allow the governor to either open or close fuel sleeves in the pumps via the rack to maintain RPM and load. if the fuel cut off lever is mis...

in my opinion i would be more concerned with the weight of the oil. the TM calls for 30w or 15w40 unless in arctic conditions. i don't know if the JD oil in reference is 10w30 or in 30w,JD is a big company and uses many different engines and buys many different oils and has many different specs...
