Evvy, is the front of the generator housing totally solid or does it have air openings in it? If I recall from your original post, you bought this set from a private owner, not the govt. auction? Normally when I get a new machine, first thing I do is steam clean everything to get off all the...

You have lots of options here. You Do NOT need to run 2 redundant pumps, one is perfectly fine, just have a backup plan if that pump craps out when you need it most. You can remove the solenoid and put the Aux pump in line with the other good pump you have. Or just use the aftermarket...

If the above shows no 24v at CB1 or S1, check CR-1 diode, rear left corner inside control cube 2nd up from the bottom soldered onto the burden resistor panel. If that diode is open you will have no 24V DC anywhere within the control panel.

Like Farmitall said, do a complete inspection of the engine before you buy anything. Often times there's a good reason why so many parts have been "Borrowed" from it. Either way, anything can be fixed but a seized engine can throw a curve into your plans. Then just do the bare minimum to get it...

You're 100% correct. I've tried explaining it 1/2 dozen times and it is difficult to put into text.... and probably even more difficult for people to understand. Picture = 1000 words, Video = Priceless! Good job Colt.

What's in there that you want to sand off, just varnish? If so you're probably better off with a round "Pipe cleaner" style wire or nylon brush and more carb cleaner. Fine sandpaper or emery cloth wrapped around a dowel or anything round ( like a pencil ) will work as well, just don't get too...

Soak it from both sides as Rick mentioned. I use Berryman's B12 carb cleaner, it's about the most toxic ( best ) stuff you can find! After a good soaking try tapping the pump body on a piece of wood to dislodge the plunger. The pump body will hit the wood first, not the center tube, so no fear...

PM sent to you Zeuss!

After a power outage, when power is restored I rely on my neighbors lights as my indicator.... I sit inside, watching TV, drinking a cold beer, cooking, doing laundry ( ok, my wife does that stuff ) , going on with life as normal... occasionally looking out at the neighbors' dark houses...

Had similar issue on an 005, but in my case a new alternator fixed it. I seem to recall the 005 TM being relatively straight forward on checking the wiring to the alternator for excite, so best I can offer is maybe see if the 005 TM is any more detailed than the 007?? Look at the -34 TM ...

Are you looking to use the CH41's in an Mep-002/003 or a civilian DJ gen? Only reason I ask is that the CH41 is a 12V glow plug. The CH42 was a 24V. Onan lists the 333-0106 as being for 12V marine applications. I have had bad experiences with HMMWV glow plugs that were advertised as 24V but in...

Ah yes, a bit pricey, but way cheaper than Hubbell!

TommyTone, have you already sourced ( or located a source for ) the pin and sleeve connectors? Curious what you found as last time I was looking for them for an unrelated project I almost fell off my chair when the price popped up on the screen! Think the cheapest I found was over $600 per...

Either crack the lines at the top of the metering pumps or at the injectors, crank ( from the main start switch ) and see if you get small spurts of fuel from the loosened lines while cranking. The fuel will not be a real lot, just a small spurt with every 2nd revolution of the engine. If you...

In addition, verify your batteries are fully charged.... , despite being able to crank from the dead crank switch, low batteries can still cause this same problem. The starter pulls so much amperage that it can cause the cranking relay / starter disconnect relay inside the control cube to open...

Hey Brother Hec, your problem seems pretty straight forward since your pumps obviously are not running. It does seem odd that all 3 pumps have stopped, but if the Aux pump was used in the past and has stale fuel in it, or the float is stuck up ( or the tank if full ) that would explain the Aux...

I have good news! I do have the canister housing that you need. #6 in the image Guy posted. Looking at the TM, the primary and secondary filter both appear to utilize the same canister and I matched it up to the canister on my 005A It is in virtually brand new condition other than a few chips...

Let me check my shelf. I have a few canister housings lying around, maybe I can match one up to my 005 ( assuming the 004 and 005 are the same ) Will report back later tonight.

In addition to the -24 manual that Kurt mentioned there is another TM that Guy has posted on page 2 in the Generator TM section ( 4th listing down ) that also explains a bit about adjusting the GCU on your machine. You could try turning the gain control counter clockwise a bit, but it might be...

I can see maybe 1 machine missing the tag, but every gen sold at that location is indeed suspicious. I'm assuming you bought yours in PA last week? I've gotten tons of gens from them over the years and the crew there is top notch, good guys, so I would bet they got them with the tags removed...
