The inside of the ip, lines and injectors are probably rust. Dont know much about seafoam but if that doesnt work you can send the injectors to jerry aka storeman. I think he can go through them and has a setup to psi test and set them.

Naval jelly is good stuff. That is phosphoric acid in that

If you dont have a ton of loose rust then you can just use it as is or if you want it super clean then acid it. Your choice

That can be true jim. Most tank lining kits come with phosphoric which is not as strong. The muriatic works much better but it also neutralizes after awhile. After about an hour it will completely stop working. It basically loses its effectiveness and wont even etch the metal anymore. Been using...

The measurement shouldnt be the overall length but the length from seating surface to the tip if electrode. The wellmans i had if i remember right stuck into the port about 1/4-3/8"

Well an hour is def enough. Laquer thinner usually dissolves varnish and gummed up fuel almost in contact. Empty that out. As far as your rust, without seeing the tank its hard to tell. If you have rust that is real flakey and loose then you prob dont have much life left to the tank anyway...

Prob no necessary since all that stuff that comes in contact with fuel is chemical resistant BUT i did on mine. Only takes a second with a pipe wrench and it gives you a couple more holes to be able to look in to check tank condition. Remove them before you remove the tank from the skid

Well there is nor real color match as these gens have been painted many different colors over the year then the paint fades something feirce as they sit out for years. Unfortunately you cant paint over rust irregardless of what some products say. Rust must come off then paint it. The gen end...

Take the tank off to clean it. You wasing your time any other way. If your tank is like many there will be a layer if goop in the bottom. Drain the diesel and whatever you can out if it. Some guys start by pressure washing the inside. A trip to the car wash might be in order. Once the heavy...

I guess its just bid and hopefully they dont go for alit and you luck out and they end up being 60hz

lol its hard to get something by me like that. i notice alot of little detail stuff like that. you know what i did with the data plates probably is about the same as what you end up doing with the board layout, just the software saves in a different format.

you know what i find really interesting is that the circuit board is printed and labeled and everything. i have done a small amt of electronic work myself, not enough to be able to redesign the vr board but enough to know that doesnt look like any homemade or one off board i ever saw. did you...

Thats awesome jim. I remember you saying you were doing that but i forgot all about it. Nice job on that.

When I recently did my 003 I ordered the plugs from Indusa like was posted in the main part of this thread. Just after I ordered they stopped selling them I guess. The plugs they sent me were made by wellman and were a perfect fit. The thread size is like john said 7/16x20, not metric and the...

Yeah jim thats just what i chalked it up to, difference in motor design and start current requirements between the two. John, i know what your gettin at. i did all the electrical in the shop myself and can say for sure wire lengths are prob within 15ft of each other and are heavy enough to...

ahhh not really worried about it, just though it was strange thats all but ill def keep that in mind. if i have to run the booth then i need the compressor and all the lights on all at the same time so that is well beyond the limits of an 003 anyway. prob need an 005 for that. btw you avatar is...

so it was a nice day today. figured i would open up the doors on the shop, hook up the gen and give it a few more hrs use and do some testing. as usual she fired right up and ran fantastic, no problem. ran it a couple hrs at about 35% load which is just the lights in my shop. i did some small...

Well an 003 at 1/2 load is a hair over 1/2 gal hr. its my understanding an 002 at full load is a little over 1/2 gal hr. per kw it seems fuel usage between the two is fairly close. I chose an 003 myself so it would run my air and everything im the house. 002s seem more avail though around here...

Someone on here did it. I dont remember who but i wouldnt bother. There are members on here with spare ip parts.

#1 is the blower wheel end. Compression sroke happens just after the intake valve closes. Easiest way of course is to watch it close with the valve cover off. Shouldnt need 15 degrees for anything that i know of. You kust checking when the fuel flow stosp injecting into the cyl ehich should be...
