Yeah, I broke the arm that swings back and forth getting it out. I think the IP is still good I just need to replace that part. I've looking high and low for parts for those injection pumps without much luck. I was just hoping not to have to buy an entire pump if I didn't have to. I appreciate...

Looking for an injector pump and or injector pump parts. Thanks in advance.

I realize that it's been about 7 months since leaving this discussion where it was, if you guys wouldn't mind continuing to discuss the issues that I'm still having I would sure appreciate any help. So I sorted out the linkage, even ordered the little plastic knob that was supposed to be there...

I did replace the L5 shortly after purchasing the generator. The extra bolt in there is being used as a stopper of sorts. When I replaced the L5 I remember thinking that didn't look factory to me, but I put it back the way it was not knowing better. I'll address that in the next day or two, and...

There wasn't a load on the generator at the beginning of the video. At that point the batteries were full and the inverter stopped pulling power from the generator so there was no load on the generator at that point, the contactor was still closed (as you saw). For the majority of a charge...

I ended up having to charge my batteries this morning. It took a bit more than usual to start the generator (it was 31 degrees out), but it ran flawlessly for 2 1/2 hours. Here is a video of it when the inverter disconnected and there was no longer a load on the generator...

I guess that I should add. On a cold start, it starts and idles well. Also, when it was cold and I was using the engine heater on it, it also started and idled well,

I just wanted to follow up on this. I finally got around to replacing the fuel filters and the air filter a few weeks ago. The water separator was a bit of a chore, as others have mentioned. I have a diesel-fired coolant heater (I think part of a cold weather kit) on my genset which offered...

I'll take a look. Most of the time when it idles like that, it does it after it's been running for a couple hours, the batteries are full and the inverter is no longer loading the generator.

Changing out the fuel /water separator is on the list for today. It's currently -10 out there so I'm hoping it warms up a bit. I haven't changed it since I've owned it. I was told that it was new when I bought it. The fuel is filtered twice before it gets to the machine. I wasn't able to buy the...

First, I wanted to say thanks to all those who selflessly contribute their knowledge here. I'm pretty new to owning/operating one of these machines. I've had the genset for a couple years at this point but I just recently started using it to charge our off grid battery bank. It's been working...

Thanks again for your help. There's a bunch of knowledgeable and pretty damn patient people around here. I owe you all a beer.

I just figured it out. Pretty stupid on my part. I left the L5 pull adjustment in the same position when I replaced L5. Thinking about what could be keeping L5 from holding after it pulled, I thought that maybe it wasn't being pulled far enough to allow the hold magnet to take over. As it turns...

Unfortunately, the solenoid did not come with any instructions to indicate which wire is which. From what I can figure red = HOLD, white = PULL, black = COM. The TM shows HOLD in Position #1, PULL in Position #2, COM in Position #3, this is how I've got everything wired up. The batteries are...

You got me, I was looking for DC voltage. I got the new MPU set correctly. Still getting a starter grind and it still won't run. Also when I spliced the original harness into the new solenoid (L5), I made a big assumption and just matched the wires up by color. I've got 15.5 v to red wire and...

I'm measuring the voltage at the pigtails on the MPU with a multimeter. I've tried two different MPUs down to an 1/8 turn out. Still showing nothing.

It's currently only a half turn out currently and not showing any voltage. Should it be showing some voltage at that point?

OK... got the new MPU in finally. It's slow going getting things shipped up here. I'm still not getting any voltage off it. It's about 1/2 turn out from where it bottoms out and it's not registering any voltage. After my first attempt of screwing in until it bottomed out and then backing it off...

Time to replace it I'm guessing...

Thanks for getting back to me. No idiot lights that this idiot could see. If I hold S1 for too long it sounds like the starter is grinding. I read here someplace that you're supposed to hold S1 for 5 seconds or something like that, but the starter starts making a pretty unhealthy noise in short...
