Will be interesting to hear how you injection pump faired, once you get the fuel system ready to test. With fuel that ancient, hopefully the plungers aren't stuck in the hydraulic head. If they are, the rebuild kit is cheap and relatively easy to do if you follow the TM closely. The other...

I don't think LR 57008 has anything to do with the actual generator model or rating. The LR number is the CSA certification File number ( Canadian version of UL ) 57008 is the file number of manufacturer and really has nothing to do with any particular model. Your motor is a DM4M ( LPW4 ) which...

I recently turned an 002A into a log splitter and if I recall correctly I made the adapter for a SAE #4 bellhousing. I have other disassembled bellhousings and flywheels at home if you need real measurements, but this image may help.

You can buy a bung already tapped with 1/4 NPT threads. They are common at supply houses and used for oil tanks. 2" NPT thread OD. Search for "duplex tank bung" you can also find them under "duplex fuel bung"

I have used probably 8 or 10 of the "Aftermarket" Chinese injectors that you can fine for around $45. They worked ok, but I found that the pop pressure was a bit inconsistent from 1 to the next, usually on the low side. If you only need a couple I would probably opt for the Lister Petter...

I've used Rapco Parts' paint many times, comes in spray cans as well as gallons. Just reduce it around 10:1 to 8:1 depending on your gun, with Naptha, xylene, tolulene.... whatever is available in your area and spray it on. Colors match pretty well, only issue would be that the gloss is a little...

I assume you bought just the diodes, not a complete rectifier assembly? If so you will just need to do a little soldering once you get the alternator opened up. only hard part is that there isn't much slack in the wires at all. If you can, would you post what you bought and where you got it?

Sandbar, do you have any more info on the controller you have that you could share?

You guys are correct, they are brazed, or at least all the ones I've looked at that closely were brazed....

Can you tell us where your + and - battery cables are attached? In the picture I can't see but it almost looks like the black cable is going up towards the starter solenoid and I can't see where the red wire is headed at all. The + should go up to the solenoid on the starter and the - should go...

So on the subject of air cooled Governor adjustments I have some interesting facts I just learned the hard way... I was working on an 002a a few days ago, prepping it for sale and noticed the droop was beyond acceptable limits. It would droop about 1.5 Hz for every 1Kw of load applied. I lowered...

Your temp sensor is screwed into the engine block under the air louvers below the muffler. The harness you showed earlier dangling down should plug into the connector on the side of the air louver housing. That plug has 2 short wires inside the air louver that connect to you temp switch. Before...

Agreed that reversing a battery would not create a complete parallel circuit, but would it really cause a fire or even a short? Wouldn't there simply be no current flow because there is no connection between the negative of either battery and the machine? Only the 2 positives are connected to...

Correct... Just because your DMM shows 13V ( really it's probably 12.5 or so ) doesn't mean your battery is any good. You need to load test the batteries. You may have 1 battery with only a surface charge and no amperage behind it. Other than that if you are correctly hooked in Series there's no...

Assuming that all your wiring is in tact, the oil and temp switches are the first thing that come to mind that would shut it off, but sounds like you have already checked both. Might need to confirm the wiring is correct and no loose connections. You only need 1 primary fuel pump for it to run...

They are pretty easy to rebuild. The one that is not building pressure probably has a stuck check ball in it. Take the bottom cap off and remove the strainer, then you will see the wire clip that holds everything together. There is a plastic check ball on both ends, if either is stuck the pump...

All above is correct and good info, one last anomaly I saw, if the Injectors don't fix the issue, was a machine with an incorrect timing button ( too thin ) that was causing an 003 to smoke from just 1 cyl. I rebuilt the IP, the injectors , checked compression, lapped valves, changed head...

It's probably all a matter of opinion, but there have been several threads talking about this subject. Some people have found issues where things were reassembled incorrectly, not tightened properly or wires routed incorrectly that rubbed or chaffed on a corner and eventually shorted out...

So out of curiosity, was the hard line plugged near the Banjo fitting and no fuel is passing to the metering pumps? Or are you saying the tube is clogged near the far end and the fuel can not reach the bypass that goes up to the injector returns? If you are only talking about the bypass to the...

Good work getting that 5k through that shed door! By the looks of the picture I thought you would have needed 50 gallons of Wiley Cyote's ACME grease and 4' shoe horn to get it out of there, but looks like you did it safely and damage-free!
