I think I saw this unit on marketplace at a scrap yard in NJ. I think if you want the genset, you wont find prices going the other way. Nor will you necessarily find the pumps to ever be cheaper. If you are intending on getting it running, I would do so while you are still in the frame of mind...
Good running 10KWs are not cheap today. If you've never seen this run right or make power... was it advertised as such? Did you buy this private party or auction?
Pick your poison.
Up here in Hell, 55g drums are not 'legally rated for holding fuel' because they do not meet any MA codes pertaining to fuel storage :LOL:
I run drums and Roth double wall tanks, with HHO and taxed diesel separated for different uses.
Guy is ruthless. $48 for this (one of many examples up there): https://www.ebay.com/itm/143888415494
In the future if you need a part, ask the forum. I don't want to deny GMG any business, but he wouldn't have even been aware of that part without sleuthing here quietly. @Ray70 I believe was the...

I bought a 2.5KW tapered head years ago, to convert over an MEP-501. I believe the engine in that has the same taper as the L70? Its still new in box, would be happy to discuss with you by PM if interested.
Here is who is shown on the Prestolite page... not sure if its helpful.

Only units I see available right now online. Rebuilding will be cheaper.
That is the droop adjustment. That changes the rate at which the governor plays catchup on load shifts. I don't know if that can be messed with enough to display what you have. You may end up needing to pull that gear cover to inspect the governor linkage and all moving parts in there.
