Well, there's a couple ideas that come to mind. If the adapter was as short as possible and it had a right angle or 45 fitting on the end with an 1/8" grease gun hose leading out to the gage, do you think that would fit? I can't say myself because I don't have a machine to look at. Otherwise...

Hey Chainbreaker, Its been a while since I worked on an 002 /003 but I know I have some new glow plugs left. I can take a look and see what would be involved in making an adapter to put in place of a glow plug and adapt it to a standard 14mm compression gage hose. I'll take a look at it and see...

Hello guys, I was wondering if I could your feedback as to if any of you working on the DN2M DN4M LPW2 LPW4 motors would have any interest in a compression gage adapter for these motors? I made 2 for myself and they helped out a lot on several machines, so I was wondering if anyone else might...

Thanks folks.... I appreciate your input. looks like that machine is in for a tear down then....

Hey Dragracer, while you have the head off, take a good look at the condition of the glow plugs that are screwed into the head. If the machine has been outside and exposed to years of rain, sometimes the glow plugs will be rotted and frozen in. If so, the best time to fix them is while the head...

So can you guys give me the simple procedure to swap out a bad DN2M in an 802A? Is it necessary to dismantle the generator, of can you get inside somehow ( maybe starter hole or through the generator with a very long extension ) to remove the 5 bolts attaching the plate to the flywheel. Looking...

Hey guys, ( CT-Mike in particular ) I've come across another 803 with an unrepairable fuel level sensor so I'm going to try one of the sensors boatman69 mentions above. My question is length... on the 803 it looks like the tank's step-down is right at the side of the fuel sensor hole, so I'm...

There's a rocker arm on there right now too, $12 and free shipping! Maybe see if the same guy also has push rods from same motor. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MEP802-803-Rocker-Arm-Lister-Petter-Onan-186-6094-2805-01-435-3890-/152516508297

Mayi Diesel ( Sales@MayiDiesel.com ) also on ebay has pushrods for about $18, they are also pretty easy to straighten yourself, if not mangled too bad. You can also ask them about a rocker arm, she told me they can get just about anything for those motors. After reassembly, pay heed to the...

Run Biodiesel.... it has a different smell than diesel... Better yet, do a WVO conversion, your exhaust will smell like french fries and chicken fingers. rofl

Thanks Guyfang. I tore it apart last night and will re-do everything again with new parts this time.... No sense short-cutting anything again!

Out of curiosity, were you getting a lot of smoke ( bluish gray ) upon cold start? What I'm finding is that cylinders with 225-250+ seem to run good, but once you drop to about 200psi it seems like the cylinder is right on the edge of insufficent compression temp to fire and will just smoke...

Also, check the linkage going to the IP for free movement. I once had an 003A with 5 hours documented on the clock that was doing the same thing, only it would start to droop at about 40-50% load. Ended up being that the expanding section of linkage ( not sure of technical term... ) was bound up...

Don't laugh, but here's what I had to do.... I used the body of a bad injector, welded the small fuel return line closed and then welded 2 different thread lug nuts together ( one that would thread onto the injector and the other that would accept the thread on one of my compression gage...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone here knows what the typical cylinder cranking pressure should be on a typical LPW2 or LPW4 motor? I've been working on several of these and I'm finding some at about 250psi and some closer to 200-220 psi. From reading, these motors are supposed to be...

Hello, I've been doing a bit of engine repairs on a bunch of these gens I bought and found a couple very cheap sources for full gasket kits ( $90 for 4 cyl.) , head gaskets, rings, bearings and such. If you want to add to this thread I can send along some info.... The key seems to be to search...

I'd be interested to know the answer too. The TM doesn't seem to say much about it. I have a machine I'm working on that has 2 cyls. that run clean under a heavy load a 2 that give a little black smoke. All the injectors are new and the lift pumps were removed and cleaned. I can't turn the pumps...

Exactly, the 400hz machines are going for $3k up to over $5K A good friend of mine was about to bid on a nice 2012 right near by, starting at $3000 until I looked at it and told him STOP! its an 813A! He saw 10K in the title and almost went for it unknowingly.

Hey LITD.... funny, I recently responded ( nicely ) to the one you are talking about who says you can turn the frequency down 15% and run a building... tried to explain it to him nicely and he responds " keep reading below, I mention using an inverter " After looking again, he has 2 postings...

Cool, thanks.... It will be interesting to see if it's actually a different color or just a factor of "old age"
